Subject: Nightcrawler/Quicksilver 'Shotgun' Strategy - Joel L. 


Lets get to business first. This team is a 200 pt. team I usually play in 
casual games. Also please note it works best on Indoor maps .

First, Figures:
Nightcrawler (Unique) (Clobberin' time) 83 pts.
3x Quicksilver (Vet) (Infinity Challenge) 23 pts. (x3 = 84) 
Shield Medic (vet) (Infinity Challenge) 16 pts. 
A.I.M. medic (vet) (Clobberin' Time ) 17 pts. Total Points: 200

Now, The basic strategy: This is a pretty offensive Team.
First you want to place your figures fairly spread apart. Put 2 Quicksilvers 
near the far end of the figure placement area. Put the  medics near the back 
middle. Put nightcrawler in fonrt of  the medics. Then place the final 
Quicksilver opposite of the other two.
The Idea is to keep your Quicksilvers around to harrass the enemy close 
range and long range attackers.
Meanwhile Nightcrawler (via Hypersonic Speed) should be able to get in close 
and knock out all but the toughest figures. The Medics should usually just 
stay in place (together, so just incase your opponent is packin' a 
medic-whackin' Nightcrawler of their own). Retreat your units only when they 
need healing.
As far as figure-specific targets should go, Nightcrawler should go take out 
Enemy Medics first, Quicksivlers should tie-up range Attackers, and the 
Medics should stay put.

Notes:
-Rarely should you push! Pushing means your guys are slowing down, and that 
should not be the problem.
-But if you must push make sure you're only doing it to escape. -Use common 
sense! No way tieing up a behemoth like Hulk with Quicksilver is 
good.
-Don't underestimate Flurry!
-If you aren't on the offense you aren't winning.
-Tieing up with quicksilver is just a  way of buying time to Nightcrawler 
gets over there.

Incase Nightcrawler or 2 or more Quicksilver's kick the bucket: Play defensive 
and pray. Pull back what units you have and make your Enemy's 
come to you. If you lose blame it on the dice rolls =P

Indoor Map strategy: You should have an easy time, since flyers won't be 
able to evade. If you keep the nightcrawler and quicksilvers together it can 
go more quickly. Find any small room with plenty of cover for your medics.

Outdoor Map strategy: The only fear here is that any sort of sniper unit may 
get hard to get to. Luckily even if that happens, Quicksilver has Shield 
Def. Roof your medics. Keep nightcrawler bouncin' around.

Modifications:
As far as Team tweaking goes, sometimes switching out for a figure with 
Leadership may be a good idea (move actions mean the plan goes faster and 
more smoothly).  Try using more multiples of the Avengers version of 
Quicksliver for a 'free move' idea . Adding figures for a larger game (300 
pts.) should Have the same idea (Leadership and free move). If you want 
throw in a cheap taxi (Like rookie Vulture for example.)
