Unit Summary: Efficient auto-wounding, plus efficient figure movement, plus the ability to nullify the effects of engagement is a pretty powerful combination. The VDO rules were fun here but not only do I think the lowering to 4 Life and 5 Defense was a good idea, I’m leaning towards going further to make the occupants of the car more vulnerable. They get a lot of benefits for being in the car, so I favor there being risk. Especially since a sports car should not feel like a tank. :2cents:

• FIGURE MOVEMENT: Excellent for moving Martian Manhunter up fast with Oracle and Green Arrow and Red Arrow together. The fact that it doesn’t get engaged and that it’s large (and gets around Rubber Wrap) made it a great way to hunt down Invisible Woman.
• FIGURE PROTECTION: Used more for mobility than protection in this match. However, it kept Green Arrow and Red Arrow out of engagement so that their powers could be maximized.
• HIT AND RUN 11: Blue Car (1 of 1) for (1) Wound against (Invisible Woman). Black Car (1 of 3) for (1) Wound against Mister Fantastic.
• WOUNDING OF OCCUPANTS: Oracle takes 3 Wounds from the car’s destruction.
• Damage Taken: Blue Car destroyed near the end of Round 2.

Unit Summary: This one felt pretty close, but the cars had a definite impact. The cars didn’t feel like tanks here, which was great, but had huge utility for movement and were big for the auto-wounds on Robin, which was very handy. I’d say they’re feeling very close to just right and the rules are still shining for me.

• FIGURE MOVEMENT: Great for keeping Ms. Marvel together with another attacker.
• FIGURE PROTECTION: Not a huge deal on this front as the car was easy enough to attack and wound.
• HIT AND RUN 11: Blue Car, never used. Black Car (3 of 3) for (3) Wounds on Robin.
• WOUNDING OF OCCUPANTS: Captain America (1) Wound, Wasp (1) Wound
• Damage Taken: Both destroyed.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Beast with Full Life wins.
