_____________________________________________________________
Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 25.
- Give a brief overview. SWAT Riflemen couldn't do anything here. Graviton's ability to bypass their high-ish defense whilst being nearly unhittable by them (takes at least 3 skulls to make Graviton blink when he has a shield up) made this a pretty bad match-up.
Map: Grundy's Grave.
Units: 6x SWAT Riflemen, Commissioner Gordon, Kingpin, Huntress, Lady Shiva vs Graviton, Iron Man (mk2), Iron Man (Mk 5) .
Spoiler Alert!
(Early Game
Graviton, Graviton, Graviton. He took the bridge and wouldn't let anyone come up and play with him. Between throwing people for easy kills and stopping them from closing the distance, it was quite hard to get anything going. I had a couple Riflemen try to snipe at Graviton from long distance, but his defense was too much. Eventually Huntress is able to get a few decent 5 dice attacks off on Graviton, which breaks through his shield. She gets him to 5 wounds before dies by having her head smashed in by high gravity. Then the Kingpin brings in Lady Shiva. Graviton is able to throw her away once and put on 1 wound, but he knows she will eventually hunt him down. At this point the Graviton gives up on him and starts loading up OMs on the Iron Men.
End Game
Left for dead, Lady Shiva and Kingpin finish off Graviton. Then the Iron Men come to play. Shiva is able to put 1 wound on Iron Man Mk5, but then he instantly vaporizes her with a 6 skull Pulse Bolt. Kingpin is able to withstand quite a bit of punishment from the 2 Iron Men, but after putting a couple wounds on Mk2, he falls as well. After this the Iron Men quickly mop up the last Rifleman and also Gordon, who was tucked into a corner by Graviton.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Harley Quinn (2 wounds), Joker (0 wounds), Hugo Strange (0 wounds), 4 Arkham Inmates.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 25.
- Give a brief overview. Wow, the SWAT members killed a lot of figures this turn. Unfortunately, they were all their OWN TEAMS figures.
Map: Icy Road.
Units: 6x SWAT Rifleman, Gordon, Spider-Man (C3G), Luke Cage vs MODOK, Venom, Puppet Master.
Spoiler Alert!
Early Game
Gordon and his 6 SWAT go for the top right glyph, whilst MODOK goes for the bottom left one. MODOK gets Shrinking Gun and Gordon gets a teleportation belt. At this point Luke and Spidey go for MODOK before he can get back to the SWAT and start hurting them bad with the Gun. MODOK uses his abilities to their max potential, shrinking, mind controlling, and doing everything he can. He ends up putting 4 wounds on Luke Cage and 3 on Spidey before falling to their combined assault. Spidey then grabs the Shrinking Gun and heads up with Luke. Venom has had no luck with his Tendrils (4 attacks, 0 skulls) but Puppet was able to take over a SWAT member a couple times and kill off Gordon and a couple SWAT members.
Mid Game
Spiderman pulls in Venom so that Luke and Spidey can beat on him and shrink him. They're able to kill him off before he can really do anything, and then they turn their attention on Puppet Master, in what may come to be seen as the single greatest comeback of all time.
THE COMEBACK OF THE CENTURY 21
First, Puppet Master mind controls a SWAT member and kills off Luke with him. Then Spidey comes in to try to attack the Master, but he rolls for Reactive Mind Control and makes Spiderman walk away. He then takes over the SWAT member again and puts another wound on Spidey. Spidey tries to attack the Master, this time putting 1 wound on him. However, Master takes over the SWAT member again, and finishes off Spidey. The SWAT member fails to hit PM, who then grabs the Shrinking Gun and shrinks him out of existence.
Then there's just 3 SWAT Riflemen left, back in the right side of the map's ruins. Puppet Master gets on the road and uses the terrain for cover. After a couple turns, the Rifleman is able to take a shot on Puppet but he hits Reactive Mind Control. Then he takes over his mind and makes him attack his friends, but no dice. They try to attack Puppet Master again, this time putting on 1 more wound before he hits his Reactive Mind Control. This time he Mind Controls one and uses him to kill off the other 2 SWAT members. When he comes to his senses and tries to attack Puppet Master again, he hits the Reactive Mind Control and is forced to walk right up to Puppet Master, who punches him in the face with a puny 2 skulls, and the SWAT man only rolls 1 shield. Good game.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Puppet Master (2 wounds).
