– using an independent faction card/ship

all tho you still pay the penalty

Saturday, July 12th, 3pm

“Arena OP Event”
– $5 entry
– Faction Pure
– all upgrades and elite talents are
considered unique except photon torpedoes
– RAW MATERIALS TOKENS (RMT) -These
tokens represent the raw materials located on
the planet’s surface that may be transformed
into weapons. They may be accumulated each
round by each fleet’s Away Team by using their
ships’ Actions. RMTs will be used to enhance
the number of a Captain’s attack dice during
the “Captains’ Battle” that occurs once every
Captain is on the planet’s surface (see below).

– AWAY TEAM TOKENS – During the End
Phase of each round, remove 1 of the Mission
Tokens from the game. Each time a Mission
Token is removed, both players must place an
Away Team Token on one of their Captain
Cards. The chosen Captain Card from each
fleet must be the one with the highest Skill
Number that does not already have an Away
Team Token on it (the player chooses if there
is a tie). These Captains are now considered to
be a part of that player’s Away Team and on
the planet’s surface. While a Captain is part of
an Away Team, a player cannot use that
Captain’s text ability (if any) or any Elite Talent
Upgrades on that Captain’s Ship. In addition,
any ship whose Captain is part of an Away
Team is considered to have a Captain Skill of
“1”. Captains that are part of an Away Team
are not destroyed if their ship is destroyed.
When the last Mission Token is removed from
the game, both players must place an Away
Team Token on all remaining Captain Cards in
their fleets that do not already have an Away
Team Token on them. NOTE: All of the
damage from a single attack must be assigned
to a single Captain.
3) When a Captain receives a number of
Damage Cards equal to or greater than his
Skill Number that Captain is immediately
destroyed and that Captain Card is removed
from the game. Remove all of the Damage
Cards from that Captain Card and place them
under the Damage Deck.
4) The player whose Captain has the next
highest Skill Number attacks next. Once all of
the Captains have attacked, repeat the steps
above starting with the Captain with the highest
Skill Number. Play continues in this manner
until all of the Captain Cards from one player’s
fleet are destroyed. If both players’ Captains
are destroyed in the same attack (see
‘Simultaneous Attack Rule’ on pg 17 in the
Rules of Play), each player rolls 5 dice. The
player with the most [Battle Stations] results is
considered the victor of the Captains’ Battle.

– AFTERMATH – Once the Captains’ Battle is
over, return all of the Damage Cards from the
Captains to the Damage Deck and re- shuffle
the Damage Deck. The VICTORIOUS
PLAYER then resets the entire play area with
the following limitations:
1) Away Team Tokens are removed from all
remaining Captains. These cards are no longer
considered part of an Away Team. The
victorious player may reassign his Captains to
his ships as he sees fit (one per ship), and any
extra Captains are placed beneath one of his
ship cards (of his choice). These cards will
count towards a player’s surviving fleet if that
ship survives the battle.
2) The Planet Token is placed anywhere within
the play area, but not within 4” of any edge of
the play area.
3) All of the ships that were removed are
positioned back in the play area by the
victorious player without any Tokens beside
them (except for Critical Hit Tokens where
appropriate). No ship may be placed within 4”
of any Token, Ship or any edge of the play
area. NOTE: All ships that were damaged or
destroyed prior to the Captains’ Battle remain
equally damaged or destroyed. The battle in
space resumes between the remaining ships
and play continues until one player is
eliminated or the time limit is reached.

The Planet Token and all remaining ships are
then removed from the play area. All Tokens
that were beside those ships are returned to
the Action Token Supply. The battle in space is
suspended and the Captains’ Battle begins
0(see ‘Captains’ Battle’ below).
– PLANET TOKEN – Treat this as a regular
Planet Token (see page 23 in the Rules of
Play). Any ship within Range 1-2 of the Planet
Token may perform the following Action:
“ACTION: Target 1 of your Captains in your
Away Team. Roll 1 attack die for every point of
that Captain’s Skill Number. For every [Battle
Stations] result, place 1 Raw Materials Token
onto that Captain’s Card (min 1).” NOTE: Each
Captain in your Away Team may only be
targeted by this Action once per round.
– CAPTAINS’ BATTLE – When the last Mission
Token is removed from the game, the players’
Away Teams are forced to battle each other.
Captains attack one-at-a-time in descending
order of their Captain Skill (high to low). If 2 or
more Captains have the same Skill Number,
resolve their attacks following the same
initiative rules used in Ship Combat (see pg 21
in the Full Rules of Play).
Follow these steps for each Captain’s attack
starting with the player whose Captain has the
highest Skill Number:
1) The attacker spends one RMT from the
Captain Card and rolls 6 attack dice. If there
are no RMTs on that Captain Card, the attacker
rolls 3 attack dice.
2) The defender must then assign damage to
one of his Captains (of his choice) equal to the
number of [Hit] and [Critical Hit] results. Mark
the damage to the Captains with face down
cards from the Damage Deck.
– ONLY ONE CAPTINS BATTLE PER
MATCH
– you get 2 battle points per match win
or bye and 1 point for a loss
– parings are random for the first wound
and then determined by battle points
with fleet points as a the breaker
– a player who gets a buy gets two battle
points and what ever the average
number of fleet points is
– at the end of the match each player
gets fleets points equal to the build limit
minus the number of points remaining in
your opponents fleet
at the end of three rounds the winner of
the event will be the player with the
highest total of fleet and battle points
combined

July 2014 Heroclix Events

for Comix City, Too!

7/12/2014 – Zero G

500 Point Constructed

All characters have leap/climb.
All attacks do knockback (even
if a character would normally be
immune) and characters do not
take extra damage from knockback.
If a figure hits a wall, obstacle or
another character, they “bounce”
in the opposite direction for the
remainder of the knockback distance.
Anytime a character moves or is
moved, roll 1d6 at the end of the
action. On a 1-3 they will continue
half the distance they moved in a
straight line from the last two
squares they moved through. When
this happens, you are required to
yell “wheeeeeeee!” in a falsetto voice.
No resources, team bases or colossals.

7/19/2014 – War of Light, Month Two

300 point Booster Draft

Information and signup can
be found at:

first-come-first-served with regard to
signups and product.

7/26/2014 – General Purpose

300×2 Point Constructed

Build two 300-point teams. All figures
on each of these teams must share
the same generic keyword (though
they can be a non-generic theme
team if they also share a non-generic
keyword). The two teams may each
use different generic keywords. The
player who does not pick the map
may pick to play at the 300 or 600
point level. No tactics except
theme teams.

success of the first one we
