Boy Did We Hear From You!
Our mail room guy used to be a happy, peppy sorta dude... that is, until Issue #6 of the Venture hit the street. Then, when he had to start sorting all the tons of mail every day with member's articles and responses to the caption contest, well, he kinda went a little ballistic.
Anywhoooo...

How to get the most out of battlesites
by Jeff Briel
I'm sure that by now you have all heard the ruling about Location Cards and Any Heroes/Characters (in fact it's most likely printed in this issue of the Venture somewhere!). Now, I'm already aware of the displeasure this has caused a great many players, but fear not! Battlesites can be fearsome in their own respect, and this article will example the best possible ways to prepare your Battlesite and prepare against your opponent's Battlesite.
Firstly, lets examine why Battlesites are preferable (some might say superior) to Any Heroes.
Since cards placed under the Battlesite are not character specific, they are just as effective as Any Heroes, in that you do not need to worry about Sentinels getting KO'd before you can play their good Specials. (I know what you're thinking "Battlesites can be destroyed!" Well just hold on and we'll discuss that point leter.) Using Sentinels from the previous example, assume you have both Sentinels "Master Mold," and "Robot Mentality" placed underneath your Battlesite. Now, when you draw a Sentinels Activator card into your hand, you have options... Do you need offense or defense this battle??? Never again will you say, "Stupid Gamma Terror! I wish you were a Guardian Angel!!!" Now you can chose which will enhance your hand more.
Now that we've evaluated the worth of the Battlesite, let's examine how best to enhance your deck. While it may be tempting to include a multitude of Specials under the Battlesite, remember that each Special needs a corresponding activator which will take up a place in your deck. With Negate Specials running rampant these days, you don't want to overdo the amount of Specials in your deck. The best thing to do is to examine what weaknesses your deck has and attempt to make up for said weaknesses with your Battlesites. Below I have outlined three potential Battlesite choices and what enhancements they can bring to your deck.
