Balance del año 2021 y proyectos para 2022.

 Hola a todos.

Al igual que hice el año pasado, este año vuelvo a echar la vista hacia atrás y hacer un resumen de lo que he hecho este año y mis ideas para el próximo. Vamos a ver en qué he invertido el tiempo:

- Torneos y eventos: otro año más las restricciones han condicionado parte del año, aunque no ha sido el único factor, ya que la reducción de la comunidad también ha influido en que varios eventos no pudieran celebrarse. Este año destaco un par de campañas: la de Batman 2.0 en el primer semestre con 11 inscritos que creo estuvo bastante bien, y la miniliguillade DC/Marvel en los últimos meses del año a la que le falta por concluir la úlitma jornada. 

 

 

También hemos organizado varios torneillos: de DC/Marvel en, de BMG 3.0 con patrocinio de Knight Models y Kingdom Wargames en julio, y otro de BMG 2.0 en Torrejón en noviembre. Desgraciadamente por falta de gente ha habido varios torneos de BMG 3.0 en septiembre y octubre que no pudieron celebrarse.

En 2022 habrá que ver que nos deja hacer el COVID. Lo primero es acabar la Liguilla de DC/Marvel que iba a ser en diciembre pero vamos a ampliar el plazo de juego de la última jornada. A priori haremos una campaña de héroes contra villanos de BMG 2.0, la idea era empezar en enero pero por la situación sanitaria vamos a retrasarla al menos un mes, habrá que ir viendo. También íbamos a hacer un torneo de BMG 3.0 en enero pero por el mismo motivo lo aplazaremos hasta que la cosa amaine.

Para el resto del año no hay nada fijo proyectado pero seguro que organizaremos algún/os torneillo/s de DC/Marvel y otra liguilla o campaña de ese juego (seguramente el último semestre). También haremos torneillos de BMG, mi idea es de 3.0 el primero e ir alternando, pero se verá en función de la recepción por parte de la comunidad.

 

- Tarjetas fan-made: he seguido creando tarjetas este año aunque algo menos que el anterior ya que era difícil mantener el ritmo. He creado algunas para Marvel y así seguir completando las que hizo Juri, pero sobre todo he reforzado las filas de DC, no solo con personajes, sino también con Team Cards. Por otro lado he seguido la conversión de los personajes nuevos que han salido para Batman 3.0 a 2.0 (aun me falta transformar las novedades de Freeze y compañía.

En total ya llevo creadas para Marvel 50, para DC 104, 17 oficiales de DC pero en formato antiguo y 72 tarjetas de conversión de Batman de tercera a segunda edición. 

Para este año la verdad es que pienso seguir con la labor de convertir los personajes de tercera a segunda edición. Igualmente seguiré creando tarjetas para DC y Marvel, aunque lo normal es que según se avanza cada vez se hagan menos ya que casi todos los personajes principales y secundarios tienen su tarjeta (de hecho posiblemente en algún momento haga versiones alternativas de algunos de los ya existentes).

- Pintura: después de más de 15 años he vuelto a tocar los pinceles... y el aerógrafo. De momento mi ritmo de pintura es lento pero sinceramente no tengo prisa. De septiembre ha diciembre he pintado 6 minituras y 1 estatua para escenografia y he imprimado o dado el color base a varias minis más. La verdad que muy contento.

Por el contrario, la escenografía sigue solo con su capa base (igual que el año pasado) y la que no había tocado sigue en el mismo estado.

De cara a 2022 mi idea es seguir pintando minis, viendo el ritmo de 6 en 4 meses estimo que el año que viene serán unas 18... la verdad es que sin presión. También me gustaría acabar de dar la imprimación al resto de la esceno que es coger el spray del chino y ponerme a ellos (¿Quizás para primavera?).

- Libros: pues hemos leído unas cuantas cosas. Empuñapiedras y Orbe, Cetro y Trono de Esslemont (con esto tengo al día todo lo publicado de Malaz en castellano, a ver si siguen sacando todo lo que hay en inglés que no es poco). También la trilogía de El Códice de los Compañeres de R. A. Salvatore (la continuación de la historia de Drizzt me da que tendrá que ser en inglés). El Problema de la Paz de Joe Abercrombie ha sido para mi el libro del año.

A parte de lo anterior el manual completo de Infinity que ha sido denso, y varios comics como El Largo Hallowen, toda la primera Civil War, los 3 Jokers, Batman Año Uno, El Regreso de el Caballero Oscuro, o La Muerte de Superman (este en proceso).

Para el año que viene sé que me leeré seguro el próximo de Abercrombie que llega en marzo y el siguiente de Erikson (coautor de Malaz) que llega en febrero. No sé si comenzaré por fin el Archivo de las Tormentas o incluso si me animaré con algo en inglés. Igualmente algún comic más (sobre todo en vacaciones) caerá.

- Videojuegos: no han sido muchos este año ya que es probablemente la afición a la que le he comido más tiempo. Completé el remake de Final Fantasy VII enero, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Little Nightmares, Kingdoms Hearts III (juego correcto pero de los más flojos de la saga) y ahora mismo ando liado con Yakuza 0, pero aun estoy lejos de completarlo. 

Para el año que viene quiero acabar el Yakuza y luego tengo varios juegos en mente: Spiderman Miles Morales y Ghost of Tsushima encabezan dicha lista.

Ha sido un año completito y espero que cumplamos los objetivos del próximo.

Hasta otro día.

Mission

 

Deployment – Loot boxes

Yves – Blue <> Francois Red

 

 

Deployment

 

Robin was deployed as driver of the Batmobile. Beast-Boy, Nightwing and Com. Gordon were deployed in the centre.

 

Joker, Two-Face , Harley Quinn and Penguin were also deployed in the center.

 

 

Two Penguins were set to the left, one to the right side.

All Infiltrators were set close to the loot boxes. In the DHL area Catwoman was placed to Orphans Box. In the centre Batman and Clayface got their own one.

 

Deathstroke was positioned quite close to Batman in the centre.

Below the bridge Huntress and Batgirl had to face Killer Croc.

 

Let the game begin

 

Orphan could be activated before Catwoman and secured the box. With her Batclaws she tried to put as much distance as possible between herself and Catwoman and blocked the line of sight with a smoke grenade. Catwoman was not impressed, however, and pursued Orphan in close combat, but unfortunately could not knock her down.
Nightwing and Beast-Boy hurried towards Orphan to support her.

 

In the centre Deathstroke took his box and attacked Batman. With two wounds suffered, Batman together with his box retreated towards the bridge to support Huntress and Batgirl.

Clayface also secured his box and moved towards Joker and Two Face. Harley secured his movement.

 

Below the bridge, Huntress and Batgirl couldn't do much to counter the onrushing Killer Croc and retreated with their box.

Com. Gordon joined Robin in the Batmobile and covered their backs. Since Robin was driving the Batmobile alone for the first time, every shot missed.

 

At the end of the first round both teams had at least two boxes under control and got one victory point each. Team Batman got an extra point through Batgirl. This triggered Two Face to flip his coin and get an extra point as well. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side and instead a victory point was subtracted.

 

In the next round, Batman covered Huntress' retreat by removing Killer Croc’s Resistance skill for that round. Facing Batman and the Batmobile, Killer Croc disappeared into the sewers.

 

Deathstroke took this opportunity, dropped his box and attacked the retreating Batgirl.

 

 

In the meantime, Harley was able to secure Deathstroke's dropped box and went towards Two Face.

Together with Clayface she went closer to Two Face and Joker. Unfortunately none of them recognised the approaching Batmobile. So Robin took the chance to fire an explosive rocket right to Harley, got the whole gang and dealt a lot of damage.

 

Everyone moved out of the blast radius as quickly as possible after that and Clayface, supported by two penguins, rushed towards the Batmobile.

Com. Gordon took the opportunity, jumped out of the Batmobile and landed a direct hit on the Joker with his sniper rifle. Unfortunately, Robin in the Batmobile could not repeat this success.

In the meantime, Deathstroke could only be stopped with combined forces.

 

Catwoman was less fortunate. Unlike Deathstroke, she could not withstand the combined forces and was defeated.

Enraged, Joker loaded his One Shot Gun and went bird hunting. Beast-Boy took a critical hit and lost a lot of health.

 

 

Equally angry, Nightwing and Beast-Boy went on the offensive. Beast Boy flew towards Joker, turned into a gorilla, grabbed Joker and threw him at Two Face. Two Face went down and Joker was defeated.
Even the reappeared Killer Croc could not prevent this.

Below the bridge, however, the situation became more and more dramatic. Deathstroke could hardly be stopped even with combined forces. In addition, he now got support from a penguin. Without regard for his own life, Deathstroke ordered the explosion and caused enormous damage to Batman, Batgirl and Huntress.

Batgirl had nothing to counter the further attacks and was defeated.

 

With Batman further tied up in battle with Deathstrok, Robin and Com. Gordon had to deal with Clayface alone. They had no choice but to release a massive EMP. Clayface was hit hard and had to flee.

Since Clayface had not fully recovered from previous wounds took by an exploding penguin, he had to take a Stamina test. The test failed and Clayface went KO.

 

At the beginning of the next round, Clayface tried to stand up. But the Stamina test failed again with a “10”. He was still KO.

Now the time to act had come. The Batmobile rushed up, Com. Gordon jumped out, arrested Clayface and took him away. Both left the game to transfer Clayface to Arkham.

 

After this dishonor, Killer Croc and Harley Quinn went on the offensive with the courage of desperation and attacked Nightwing and Orphan to get their box.

Beast Boy just barely managed to turn into a hawk to avoid Killer Croc's onslaught.

Orphan could not resist this concentrated onslaught and was knocked out.

In the face of this violence, Nightwing had no choice but to activate his Electric Storm. All the figures around were hit. Orphan was defensless and was hit hard. Her sacrifice will not be forgotten and Nightwing took the box from her still hands.

Killer Croc and Harly had to take a Stamina test. Since Killer Croc was more probable to pass his test, Harley dropped her box so that Killer Croc could take it over. In the end Killer Croc went down and the box was no longer owned.

 

 

Faced with this dramatic situation, Beast Boy was seized with the courage of despair. He flew to Penguin, turned a gorilla, grabbed Penguin and threw him away.

Another box was now within reach.

 

Totally unimpressed by this situation, Two Face pulled out his Automatic Handgun and shattered Beast Boy's dream. Beast Boy was incapacitated and the box was free to be taken back.

And Penguin didn't need to be told twice.

 

After four rounds of fierce hand-to-hand combat, Batman and Huntress finally managed to bring Deathstroke down and take him out. Neither Batman nor Huntress would have survived another round without danger.

 

 

Result

 

In the end, Team Batman had three boxes of their own in their hands and were able to take out two models with level >8. Together with extra points from Batgirl, Team Batman was able to score 8 victory points.

Team Joker ended up with two boxes of their own in their hands, but were unable to take out any character above level 8. Two Face tried his luck again and flipped a coin. Unfortunately, his luck was not in this time either and instead of an extra victory point, one victory point was deducted again. This allowed Team Joker to score 1 victory point.

Winner: Team Batman
