In honor of my city’s pro football team’s surprisingly good season culminating in a Super Bowl berth, I put this team together for a 500-point “Heroes and Villains” scenario:

Falcon [Civil War Storyline 023] 70

Falcon [Avengers Assemble 017] 75

Falcon [Captain America: Civil War 008] 85 + “I’m With Cap” 5

Falcon [Captain America: Civil War Starter Set 004] 95

Captain America [Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD 049] 130

Redwing [Captain America: Civil War 007] 20

+ Avengers Response Unit ATA 3 x 6

= 498 points.

It faced a mostly Sinister Syndicate team of Boomerang, Shocker, Lizard, Venom and Baron Zemo, all on my House of Secrets indoor map. My opponent chose the house end of the map, forcing me to go upstairs to him.

 

HOW IT WENT

He tied down AVAS Falcon early with Venom, effectively neutering him with Plasticity. I in turn sent Cap’s Pigeons to frustrate Boomerang’s shooting opportunities. Civil War Falcon engaged early but couldn’t finish. (Like the actual Atlanta Falcons team. )

But the Running Shooters of the Falcons were able to get around Venom for some key shots. KOs: Shocker, Boomerang, Zemo. I lost Civil War Falcon and pigeons.

So at least ONE Atlanta Falcons team didn’t lose last weekend.
