Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 230-240
- Give a brief overview. His Special Attack allows him to attack the mark at a greater distance then his normal, even if he moved this turn, which gives him a good opportunity to get a few shots in before anybody can get close to him in these 1-on-1 matches. But he feels well balanced & still has the option to move & use normal attack to get height advantage.

Spoiler Alert!

TEST 1
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: v Superman (400)
(summary)This was just a test really to see if it was possible to stay away from Supes & hit him with the Special Attack. Superman cornered WS on turn 3 of round 1, but WS did manage to get 2 wounds on him before that. Two hits in turn 3 of round 1 & turn 1 of round 2 was all Supes needed to destroy Winter Soldier.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Superman (2 wounds - R2T1)

TEST 2
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units:v Batman (200)
(summary)This was a dance. WS tying to keep out of range of the Evasive Strike but couldn't use the Special Attack to it's full potential because of the constant moving. Batman edging closer herding WS into a corner with his ineffectual Batarangs. With the initiative win for the second round Batman finally engaged WS & put a wound on him. WS cool under pressure managed to 4 skulls on using his Special Attack, this time he didn't move so that was a massive 8 hits Bats had to defend against when he only rolled a 3 for Evasive Strike his meagre 2 shields wasn't enough to save him.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Winter Soldier (1 wound - R2T1)

TEST 3
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: v Batman (200)
(summary)Batman was not toying around this time. WS with initiative put the first wound of the match on Bats in the 2nd turn with his Special Attack. Bats closing the distance threw his Batarang to score 3 unanswered hits. WS camped & rolled 2 skulls gaining the extra 2 but Bats' Evasive Strike kicked in (19) & turned his defense into attack. Bats put the final wound on WS with a 3-to-2 hit.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Batman (1 wound - R1T3)

TEST 4
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: v Batman (200)
(summary)Although the overall results of tests 2 & 3 seemed swingy, they didn't really feel like that, but felt as though it could have gone either way, so I thought I would try Bats again. This match played very similar to that of test 3, except the dice favoured Winter Soldier this time. WS camped, Bats flew at him flinging Batarangs as he could, WS scored 3 wounds with his SA in turn 2. Turn 3 WS moved & only rolled 1 with his SA, but Bats winged found his mark with 2 wounds on WS from the Batarang. It wasn't enough for Bats this time. Winter Soldier won initiative for round 2 & with height & his normal attack put the final wound on Batman who failed the Evasive Strike by only rolling 10.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Winter Soldier (2 wounds - R2T1)

TEST 5
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: v Flash (250)
(summary)Really not much to say about this match that wasn't expected. Flash ran around, avoided attacks & kept peppering WS with his FFSA until he finally wore him down.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Flash (0 wounds - R2T1)

TEST 6
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: v Captain America (Hasbro) (220)
(summary)Don't sneeze or you might miss this one. Turn 2 WS missed a pot-shot, Cap's shield found it's mark for 2 wounds. WS steadied himself & rolled 3 skulls for 6 unanswered wounds on Caps. Game over! (Cap actually rolled 5 skulls on his defense - ouch.)
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Winter Soldier (2 wounds - R1T3)

TEST 7
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units:v Captain America (Hasbro) (220)
(summary)Not greatly different to the previous match but lasted a little longer. Winter Soldier got the first shot off again & failed to leave a mark. Cap threw his shield again but failed also. WS with height & his normal ranged attacked put 2 wounds on Cap. Cap failed another opportunity with his shield, WS managed a flesh wound with his Special Attack. Cap finally engages WS bloods his nose. Winter Soldier tires of the ordeal & finishes Captain America off with his Special Attack.

TEST 8
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Winter Soldier (0 wounds R1T2)

TEST 10
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: v Iron Fist (260)
(summary)At the beginning of this match I thought it was going to be fairly balanced but once Iron fist got him engaged it was a only a matter of time.
WS put 2 wounds on IF with his special without the bonus. IF moves closer & heals. WS misses. IF engages & puts 2 wounds on WS. Next round IF puts another 2 wounds on WS & heals for 1. WS fails to land a punch entire round & IF misses for the remaining 2 turns. Turn 1 round 3 IF lays 4 skulls down & WS goes 1 better with 5 skulls, what a crappy defense.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Iron Fist (0 wounds, 2 healed wounds - R3T1)

Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 220
- Give a brief overview. Skrull Warriors just didn't have the fire power or movement required. If it had been a 3 man squad the story would have been different.
One issue that I thought of that may arrise (it didn't with me as these matches weren't that involved but higher point matches) in squads where the figures are the same sculpt it could get difficult to remember which is the mark.
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: Skrull Warriors x2 (220)

Spoiler Alert!

(summary)Skrull move out, Winter Soldier moves & is range of his mark with his SA but misses the shot. The other pair of skrulls move out. Winter Soldier camps but misses again with his SA. Skrulls move forward, one is in range & shoots grazing a Winter Soldier with height for 1 wound. Winter Soldier buries his mark with his SA. Round 2 & the Winter Soldier doesn't have a mark any more so he moves every turn maintaining height on the closest skrull each turn & killed off 2 more skrulls this round. Turn 3 of that round the last skrull put 3 wounds on WS when he whiffed the defense roll. Round 3 Winter Soldier has 1 life left & there is only one-1 life skrull left, WS gets initiative & finishes the match from height.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Winter Soldier (4 wounds R3T1)

Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: 5th Precinct Beat Cops x3+2 (238.3) (

Spoiler Alert!

(summary)Winter Soldier took the mark out in turn 2 of round 1. WS maintained distance & height for the most of the match whilst the cops slowly moved up in a cornering manoeuvre.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 220-230 didn't feel off
- Give a brief overview. F4 worked beautifully together as normal, as expected. Winter Soldier thought he was doing the right thing it just didn't pay off in the end, unlike the Human Torches perfectly timed Super Nova. Winter Soldier's extra movement when the Mark reveals his OM is cool & gives more of a hunting feel to him. Unlike against the 1-on-1's & the squads where he was alone & his best bet was to camp.
Map: Odin's Colosseum (walls removed)
Units: Team 1: Winter Soldier (230), Kingpin (220), Bullseye (175), Elektra (170), Hand Ninja x2+1 (198.3)
Team 2: The Thing (325), Mister Fantastic (235), Human Torch (225), Invisible Woman (215)

Spoiler Alert!

(summary)
Winter Soldier names Mr Fantastic as his Mark. F4 won initiative & Mr Fantastic rolls 12 for Fantastic Leader, moving Thing, Invisible Woman & himself forward. Hand Ninja reveal OM & Winter Soldier takes a turn hitting Mr Fantastic for 1 wound with his normal attack from height. Hand Ninja move out. Mr Fantastic rolls 7 for Fantastic Leader, Human Torch moves up & destroys a Hand Ninja at range. Mr Fantastic fails his attack on a Hand Ninja. Bullseye takes a turn on the Hand Ninja OM but misses Mr Fantastic. 3 Hand Ninja fail their attacks on Mr Fantastic. Mr Fantastic rolls 14 for Fantastic Leader. Invisible Woman with height takes out a Hand Ninja. Human Torch whiffs his attack on a Hand Ninja. Mr Fantastic engages both Bullseye & Winter Soldier, but his attack fended off by Winter Soldier. On Kingpins OM, Winter Soldier scores 2 wounds on Mr Fantastic using his Special Attack. Kingpin moves forward.

Hand Ninja's OM & Winter Soldier fails his attack on Mr Fantastic as do 2 Ninja on Invisible Woman but one wounds her for 1. Mr Fantastic rolls 14 for Fantastic Leader, Human Torch Flames On to destroy a Hand Ninja then then destroys another. Thing moves forward, Mr Fantastic returns the 2 wound hit on Winter Soldier. Elektra attacks Invisible Woman on the Hand Ninja OM but fails. One Hand Ninja puts another wound on Invisible Woman the other 2 fail. Mr Fantastic rolls 17 for Fantastic Leader, Human Torch flies down to engage Elektra & Bullseye taking a Leaving Engagement wound & destroying the Hand Ninja that wounded him with his Flame On. Human Torch goes Super Nova & rolls 4 skulls. Elektra takes 3 wounds, Bullseye takes 3 wounds, a Hand Ninja burns up, Winter Soldier whiffs & takes 4 wounds to be destroyed, Mr Fantastic takes 2 wounds & is also destroyed. Now I don't know if I played this right, but I reasoned that Mr Fantastic being dead his turn ends & therefore I couldn't take the other turn (from Fantastic Leader) with one of the other F4 team members - either way I doubt it would have changed the outcome much. Kingpins OM & both him & Elektra fails their attacks on Invisible Woman. Number 3 OM for the F4 was on Mr Fantastic so they miss a turn.

F4 win initiative & Thing Clobberin' Times Kingpin for 4 wounds. Hand Ninja OM & Elektra fails against Invisible Woman as does the Hand Ninja. Human Torch with height smashes Bullseye to oblivion when Bullseye whiffed his defense. Kingpins OM & Elektra fails yet again against Invisible Woman, however Kingpin managed to get in 3 wounds to finish her off. Thing puts the final nail in Kingpin's coffin. OM 3 was on Kingpin so they miss a turn.

F4 win Initiative, Thing ends Elektra's life, Hand Ninja fails a ranged attack on Human Torch, who engages the ninja & retaliates with 3 skulls to no shields game over.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Team 2, F4 wins with The Thing (0 wounds) & Human Torch (1 wound) surviving.
