The Book of Gorilla-Man

[quozl]

Looks ready for an initial.

[IAmBatman]

Agree, but just letting you guys know it's not one I'll have time for any time soon. So hopefully one of the other guys can grab it.

[tcglkn]

I have other testing I need to do for the guys in the sanctum before I go back to school. If I have time I'll grab it, but I'm doubtful.

Mind adding these to the OP?

Those look a tad too dark and far away, Scapey. Nice attempt, but I'll be surprised if those pass the A3n test.

The first couple are dark, but I especially like the last one and how the light really shows off the character's features.

[IAmBatman]

It is sharply in focus, I'll say that.

[Griffin]

Bats was right to begin with. Too dark and too far away. It happens.

Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? PASS
- What should be the unit's point value? 150
- Give a brief overview. G-M took out 2 Hydra with Machine Gun, but quickly fell after that. His defense isn't enough to go up against a 4 man ranged squad.
Map: Swamp Lab
Units: G-M vs Hydra Agents x2

Spoiler Alert!

Hydra won initiative. On turn 2 they gave G-M 3 wounds. G-M fired back and killed 2 with Machine Gun. Turn 3 G-M died. For fun I rolled the d20 and got a 3 which would have brought G-M over to Hydra's forces.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Hydra Agents with 6 of 8 remaining in R1 T3

The ninja's short range really cost them. G-M was able to keep height and shoot with Machine Gun taking out 4/5 and then went down to finish the last one with his normal attack.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? PASS
- What should be the unit's point value? 160
- Give a brief overview. G-M did great early game for his team mowing down Civies with his special. He also got right in the mix with Luke Cage and Iron Fist and gave each of them one or two wounds a piece with great melee attack. G-M makes for some very difficult in game decisions for both players.
Map: Swamp Lab
Units: Gorilla-Man, Gorilla Grodd, GCW x3 (780) vs Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Civilians x2 (780)

Spoiler Alert!

Civilians weren't much but a cheap distraction for the Gorillas to tear through. G-M was the champ for his team bonding with the GCW for some serious melee clobbering. Iron Fist did all the work for his team taking out like 5 GCW with his Whirlwind attacks and then taking out Gorilla-Man at the end of round 4. I had Iron Fist at 4 wounds so it seemed a good option to try and swap him for a fresh Gorilla-Man. Iron Fist leaped to height and rolled a sick 6 skull attack which pulverized G-M. I rolled the d20 and got a 12 transform Iron Fist into the new Gorilla-Man. After than Spider-Man still seemed a better OM choice because of his mobility and survivability, so I piled the OMs on Spidey in Round 5. The Gorillas knocked G-M around and quickly killed him in R5 T3. Meanwhile Spidey took out a GCW and put a wound on Grodd. Then in R6 T1 a full health Spidey took a tremendous dive, biffing his roll for Spidey-Sense and defense against a 4 skull attack and then taking a wound from knockback to end the game. Ouch!
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Gorilla Grodd with 1 wound and 3 GCW win in R6 T1

_____________________________________________________________

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? PASS
- What should be the unit's point value? 160
- Give a brief overview. Gorilla-Man never used his curse power in this game. I used Black Widow early on because she has a better ranged attack than G-M, but later switched to G-M after she fell. He put some key wounds on opponent's Heroes both Green Goblin and Wendigo.
Map: Swamp Lab
Units: Nick Fury, Gorilla-Man, Black Widow, SHIELD Agents x3, SHIELD Sniper x2, SHIELD Spotter x2 (1,000) vs Captain America, Green Goblin, Punisher, Wendigo (1,000)

Spoiler Alert!

Army 2's heroes had some nice multi-attack options, but ultimately the couldn't stand up to the firepower of SHIELD. Green Goblin was taken out pretty early in R1 T3 by Gorilla-Man who attacked GG on height for 2 wounds taking him out. Gorilla-Man used his Machine Gun just once as he moved up the road towards Wendigo to engaged him. Captain America and Black Widow put eachother at 4 wounds a piece and then were finished off by other members of opposing team. Punisher had a good run with his Shotgun killing 2 Agents and putting 3 wounds on Fury who was camped on top of the building in the middle of the map. Snipers and Spotters never moved and weren't needed in this game. The Agents were able to get the job done on their own.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? G-M full health, Fury 3 wounds, 2x Snipers, 2x Spotters and 3x Agents remain in R4 T2
