F.U.N. Forces: SHIELD Six-Pack

The event: 6 @ 600. 600 points Modern Age, six figures. No more, no less.

It seemed a good chance to try out this figure and trait:

dp041-2

SIX PACK RECRUITING: When you build your force, if G.W. Bridge and exactly four other characters share a keyword, you may choose one friendly character with a point value 150 points or less and that character has the shared keyword.

 

I’ve also wanted to use all the figures with the “Espionage” traits from the Captain America: Winter Soldier Gravity Feed set in a single force:

Nick Fury [Captain America: Winter Soldier 015] 98p
Captain America [Captain America: Winter Soldier 001] 125p
Black Widow [Captain America: Winter Soldier 003] 114p
Agent 13 [Captain America: Winter Soldier 013] 55p

then the aforementioned G.W. Bridge [Deadpool 041] also shares the SHIELD keyword and can lend it to the sixth member to make this a SHIELD Six Pack:

Falcon [Captain America: Winter Soldier 006] 105p

= 565 points. That’s pretty short on points. I decided that SHIELD had confiscated the Mandarin’s Power Plant resource (after his latest defeat at frequent SHIELD collaborator Tony Stark’s metal-clad hands) with the following attached:

Matter Rearranger
Black Light
Vortex Ring
Impact Beam
Disintegration Beam
Flame Blast

at a total of 22 additional points. I filled 9 of the remaining 13 with Avengers Response Unit ATA on Cap, Fury and Widow.

The basic strategy for this team was to find a decent patch of hindering from which to shoot from. Thanks to all the SHIELD TA on the force, range probably won’t be an issue. But only half the team is Stealthy, so taking fire could be a problem, especially against Energy Explosion, since the crew has to bunch up for best effect.

And, of course, the main reason for running this team is to see what sort of shenanigans occur from the four members with “Espionage” traits! I can’t wait.

Check out a future installment of F.U.N. Fights, usually posted Wednesdays, to see how the Six Pack fares in the field.
