Event Ideas for the Rest of the GSX Cycle
I'd like to go ahead and plan out the rest of the GSX tournament cycle but I want to give y'all a chance to help design it. So post any ideas you may have here and I'll get the schedule laid out by next week.
No Tournament on 23 April
One of the members of the WNC Pokémon League has graciously offered to take us to the pre-release next Saturday so I will not be at Hillside. You can, of course, feel free to play at Hillside but I will be unavailable for rules questions by phone since I will be in a tournament myself and will therefore have my phone turned off.

Planet Hulk Event Dial – 600 Golden Age – 30 April 2011
You can look up the even dial using HC Realms Units search: http://hcrealms.com/index.php?page=units
You'll need a 600 point Golden Age team (but no BFCs since there will be an event dial in play). You can also bring up to 400 points of "Reinforcements" which can cost no more than 40 points each.
Starting with the dial's tenth click, the following ability comes into effect:
------------------------------
REBELLION: At the beginning of each player's turn, that player must choose a character from his or her Reinforcements and put it into his or her starting area. Once the character enters the game, it is considered part of the player's force.
------------------------------
There's a lot going on in this event so I highly recommend you go check out the event dial so you'll be adequately prepared.

Good vs Evil -- 700 point Golden Age -- 5 March 2011
You must bring two separate 700 point GA teams. One team must consist entirely of good guys, and the other must be only villains.
To choose who plays which team, roll initiative as usual but without any theme team benefits. The winner gets to choose which of his teams to play and his opponent must use the opposite alignment.
If either player now has a theme team, then a second initiative roll must be made to determine which player goes first and therefore gets to decide which map will be used. If neither player has a theme team, then a second roll is not necessary.

March Events
We'll have two events in March before the release of Giant X-Men but nothing is currently scheduled so I'm soliciting ideas for this rare opportunity to run some Silver* or Golden Age events.
Giorgio and I were discussing it on the WNC Heroclix facebook group and came up with these ideas:
We could also run an Event Dial or any other scenario. I've got dozens and I'm sure y'all could think of more.
Any other ideas?
* As a note to our new players and a refresher for the rest: Silver Age means that all figures are allowed but no feats or BFCs because the Silver Age of comics came between the Golden Age and the Modern Age.
Giorgio and I were discussing it on the WNC Heroclix facebook group and came up with these ideas:
- high point (800+)
- 600 point Silver Age but you can only use two figures
- really low point (200ish)
- 500 point good vs. Evil teams
You build a team using all good and a team using all evil the person that wins the dice roll decides which team he will use and his opponent uses the opposite.
(Frank's Note: This reminds me of our old annual Battle of the Sexes Valentines events so I think it would be a lot of fun.)

500 point Floor 50 Modern Age Team-Up - 19 Feb 2011
$5 entry fee per person.
As with all of our events, Winners and Fellowship both receive prizes from WizKids as usual but each member of the winning team also receives a DC 75th Anniversary booster.
And as always with Team-Ups, I highly recommend that you choose a teammate ahead of time and build your 250 point forces together (and don't forget about the Floor).
