I was about to ask the same thing!
Hoping this is in that 28mm (Ha!) to 32mm (more or less) range that we seem to be living in these days...

Probably?
I'm hoping that "40MM Scale" here is 'close enough to the exaggerated 32mm/35mm scale that many games live in?
I hope...

And there's Thor!
Also, I kinda get what they're trying to do here - terrain is (allegedly) a big part of the game, so maybe by 'forcing' us to a 'new scale' they'll 'force' us to buy a lot of terrain?
Always a balancing act between that and alienating a big part of your potential customer base and turning them off from the get go though...
I seem to remember KM's Marvel line had the figures slightly bigger too, maybe?
Either way, I think I'm going to be ridiculously all in here...
Was there a release date announced?

Baron Zemo. Captain America villain. The MCU had a very different version of him as the villain in Civil War.
Maybe he'll be more like his comic book counterpart when he shows up in "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" TV Series?

Do we know exactly what's in core set, in terms of characters and terrain?
I don't think I need extra dice or measuring sticks, but all of the other available options are tempting...

Found it!
Box Contents:
10 character miniatures
10 bases
1 Daily Bugle stand
2 cars
2 dumpsters
2 traffic lights
2 lampposts
170 Tokens
20 team tactics cards
3 map cards
2 affiliation cards
10 character stat cards
6 crisis cards
3 movement tools
4 range tools
10 dice
So aside from the miniatures available separately, looks like the terrain pack is a duplicate?

And I’m already looking forward to what will get released beyond what we’ve already seen previewed!
Can’t wait for the FF and Dr. Doom.

The main attack/defense mechanic seems a little convoluted, with all the different dice symbols and all the steps. and it seems like the choice of mechanic doesn't fit the super hero theme well. I know you don't want to have characters that are impossible to harm in a game, but they don't seem to be able to represent the characters well with the stats they have. Looking at the character cards, there seems to only be two different levels of defense, as almost all the defense stats are either 3 or 4 for everyone. Leading to things like Baron Zemo being just as hard to damage as Ultron.
I guess it's really the special abilities at the bottom of the card that are going to do the most to differentiate the characters, but a lot of those don't seem that different.
That’s not encouraging!
I hope there’s more to it then what you’ve seen...

I'd bet...movie?
Or Old School Comic - too early for Jane Foster version, especially as she'll be doing the Thor thing for 'most people' in the movies first!
Thank you NewTruthNeomaxim for that list - very helpful and informative.
There are a surprising number of releases that I'll be OK with skipping in that list.
And we need more villains - too many heroes in 2019!

There's quite a few classics that are shockingly not on the 'release at release' or even in 2019 - I'm stunned!

OK...
Anyway, here's hoping it isn't any of that.
Or, even if it ends up 'only' lasting 3 to 5 years, here's hoping all the characters I'm looking for - and then some - get releases!
(I do like Pulp City too though! And they just re-opened their webstore - and there's a discount now too!)

If this is really the case, and combined with the odd scale choice, well, I might have to rethink all this and stick with Pulp City.

Anyone know more?

I've been blown away by this game in general. I've gotten in more games of it than everything else combined since Thanksgiving. It's got one of the most fluid and varied scenario and list building systems I've played, which has gone a long way to get every model on the table for multiple games.
Initial reviews were rather mixed, with more leaning negative then positive.
It is good to read that you're having fun with it - I really want to have a good superhero game that is supported and...the Marvel Universe is a bonus, of course!

You only 'need' to do that if you 'want' to do that?
Though I guess what you're asking is "Do I need to do this in order to win/be really competitive?"
Maybe? Automatically Appended Next Post: Longstrider wrote:The main thing is that various boxes have team tactic cards (your roster includes 8 and of those you select five at the beginning of a game) and scenarios. So that may be a reason for completionists to get boxes they dont otherwise want.
I do believe there's an online resource that can help in regards to this...

A classic villain - before his return, overuse and...well.
Still, glad to see him here, and hope to see all the other classic Spidey villains eventually!
