Friday: Powered Core Event

Well, gentlemen, it's time to get back into the swing of things. This Friday is the Powered Core event, the warm-up for the Secret Invasion. The WizKids website has posted these rules:

Powered Core Format (all other standard rules will apply):
1) This is a 300 point Unrestricted event. Any HeroClix figure or Bystander token can be used, as well as standard objects.
2) All tactics are banned - Feats, BFC, Double-Base, Giant, & Colossal characters, Theme Teams, and Special Objects.
3) Special Powers and Traits have no effect.
4) Team abilities have no effect.

I think the idea here is to play a version of the game that's not too much more complicated than that presented with the Alpha rules. This way, new players introduced via the Alpha rules can get used to the non-Alpha rules. It doesn't look like new players are showing up this week according to the website, though, so the suggestion that we all bring in older figures to give to newer players...well, I'll bring in a Deadman figure or two, but I think I'll be going home with them, too. I notice this is one of the few opportunities to mix DC and Marvel and Indy figures in an official event.

Also, did anyone pick up the new rulebook?
