Hi, thanks for looking at my blog, this post is kind of a test. I’ll be ‘live blogging’ the post into an app, recording a game by writing down some key points as they happen, as well as taking a few photos and updating them into the post and we’ll see what we end up with at the end of the night! Hopefully it’ll be an After Action Report (or BatRep) worth reading!

This game is taking place at the Aspatria branch of West Coast Gamers. We are a few weeks into our first Batman Miniatures Game (BMG) league, and this is my first opportunity to use the new rules from the Flash/Arrow expansion. Both myself and my opponent (Mark) will be using the new Flash, along with the rules from the new book. Our league stipulates you keep the same crew throughout the season (I.e. You start with a Batman crew, you continue with a batman crew), however you can change which miniatures are used each game. This gives some consistency to the league, but allows people to try new lists out and more importantly allows everyone to use their shiny new toys!

This game is a standard 250 rep, $1500 funding game.

A really enjoyable game!

Speedsters were pretty simple to get the hang of, and they played really well. I was worried they wouldn’t be balanced but they seem to be from this little test game!

Mark’s flash worked far better than mine, whether it be dice rolls or poor choices. Mine didn’t do half as well as Marks.

Batgirl was the weakest character by far on my side. Instead of her, I could have taken 2 cops. Either Tonfa and gcpd detective or maybe the stun gun guy (COD’ they’re the ones I own). The two characters would have played out levitra cost better than just 1. Even if both died they’d give similar vp’s and probably have more impact. A lesson learned for next time!

Batman performed well for me, especially the last minute damage on flash. If only I’d damaged 3 times instead of 2 I’d have knocked him out!! Nevermind.

Gordon got picked on all game and never managed to work to full effect. But in his defence he held out for the whole game!

Although when he wakes up at the station he won’t be too pleased to find his daughter in a cell. Curtosy of mark’s bravo!
