Hey Carcosans, we’ll be running our first Marvel: Crisis Protocol slow grow league beginning on March 18th. The league will run for 8 weeks and culminate with a three-round tournament (date TBD).

For anyone who has never slow grown before, it pretty much meant to do what it says on the box—give players an outlet to learn the game/start a new force and slowly grow it along with the rest of the group. So, whether you’re a new player looking to check out MCP or an existing one looking to start and/or add onto a force, this is for you. The rules are free and can be found in pdf form here.

To make buy-in a bit less daunting, we’ll be running the league as a “three-box challenge,” which means that you may only use models from the core set and an additional three character boxes of your choice (affiliation boxes either can count as 2 choices or can replace the core box. However, if you replace the core box you also forego the use of any core box tactics cards). Note that the number of characters in a given box is immaterial (beyond the affiliation box exception), so a box with one model, say Hulk, is treated exactly the same as a box with two models, say blade and moon knight, for the purpose of the league restriction, so choose those single big fellas wisely.

The full league rules and schedule are available here.

This kickoff event is free to members (non-members must purchase a daily membership pass) but there will be an event ticket to provide prize support for the league overall.
