Black Mask Tournament Crew

My second tournament, my second tournament crew!

After being dissatisfied with the game-play of the Poison Ivy crew, I decided to take a different tack, reusing a couple of models to form this crew.

This is the crew that I will take (350 Reputation; $1500):

• Black Mask
• Riddler 
• Deadshot
• Anatoly - Bribe (Informer)
• Goon - Grapple-gun (Batclaw)
• Goon 2
• Turk - Magazine (+1 Ammo to 1 weapon), Brass Knuckles (Reinforced Gloves)
• Prisoner 03 
• Prisoner 04 

Principally, my main threats are from Deadshot and the Henchmen, except Prisoner 04 who will primarily Bodyguard Black Mask. Riddler is mainly included for game control, but that will require me getting to grips with him!

I have had one test game with part of this crew, but I woefully failed to rely on the non-combat strengths of the crew, namely:

• Black Mask: I need to try and ensure I am using Inspire and No Mercy! in most rounds.
• Riddler: using his Confusion and/or Disarray abilities to limit major threats.

That said, even though I neglected to use No Mercy in the test game, it would have made no difference as even with Brutal re-rolls for the collateral dice a few times in the game, I could not get a '6' to save my life. Hopefully I will make maximum use of those 4 key abilities in future.

In all the crew has a number of abilities (Personal Traits and Special Traits) for me to remember in game: Bodyguard; Brutal; Confusion, Criminal: Disarray; Dodge; Expert Marksman; Football Gear; Gunman; Inspire; Let's Go; Mob; Night Vision; No Mercy; Order; Rapid Fire; Puzzle Master; Shooter; Strategist; Street Guy; Tireless; and Trickster.

So yes, quite a lot to remember, 22 Traits there by my count. Definitely a feature of Confrontation-inspired skirmish games, and BMG does show some of that kind of lineage.
