Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 170.
- Give a brief overview. Swordsman seemed pretty fair for a Fighter. He bonds well with Luke Cage and likes to be an Avenger. He got fairly lucky this game when a prime initiative switch allowed him to get a HUGE 7 dice attack on Azrael, followed up by a big 6 dice attack against Rhino. So other than the dice rolls favoring the Avengers, this game felt REALLY balanced.
Map: Icy Road.
Units: Swordsman, Captain America, Blink, Emma Frost, Dagger, Luke Cage (1000) vs Kingpin, Rhino, Azrael, Clayface, Elite League Assassins (1000).

Spoiler Alert!

Blink helps move Captain America really far up the field, while Luke Cage and Swordsman head east on the road. The original plan was to head to the starting zone the long way, but allowing Rhino and Kingpin to face Captain America alone was not an option, so they cut down the road, and ended up having a huge clash between the two glaciers where the road S curves.

It started out as a bit of a stalemate, with Rhino landing one wound on his initial charge on Luke Cage, but then they couldn't do much to each other as they traded blows. Captain America had good position on the high ground in the back, where he could throw his shield and no one could get to him due to the path being choked off on both sides. Azrael comes into the battle after losing a turn and starts to tip the scales. He and Kingpin start wearing down Luke Cage slowly. Then he loses a turn and is forced to attack Kingpin, Rhino and Luke Cage. He takes out Luke Cage, but also puts wounds on Rhino.

This is when things go very bad for the Criminals. Captain America lands 4 skulls on two of his shield throws in a row, putting a couple more wounds on Kingpin (killing him), and also 1 on Azrael. The OM on Kingpin goes to waste, and Swordsman gets the chance of a lifetime, landing a big 7 dice attack (6 skulls) on Azrael (dead), and 6 dice attack (5 skulls) on Rhino (dead).

Swordsman moves up towards the hill, but a good initiative switch allows Clayface to Smother Swordsman on the low ground. The go toe-to-toe for a while, and Clayface manages to put 3 wounds on Swordsman, but due to the Avenger bonus and Counterstrike (along with getting to attack so much), Swordsman takes out Clayface. Captain America tries to take out some Elite League Assassins, but they land both of their Vanishes and close the distance. Captain goes from 0 wounds to dead in 3 turns, while Swordsman tries to close the distance. Without his Avengers boost, Swordsman is much less able to withstand punishment, and gets taken out by a 4 skull attack from the Assassins (however he does manage to take one of them out). Blink easily handles the last 2 Assassins before they can get close to anyone.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Blink (0 wounds), Dagger (0 wounds), Emma Frost (0 wounds).

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 150.
- Give a brief overview. This game really showed the difference between an Avenger Swordsman and a non-Avenger. Without 6 attack and 6 defense, his Swordsplay and Counterstrike aren't nearly as fearsome. He still good, but he doesn't dominate like he does when Cap is on his team.
Map: Icy Road.
Units: Swordsman, Luke Cage, Morbius (590) vs Wonder Man and Winter Soldier (590).

Spoiler Alert!

Wonder Man cuts off Luke and Swordsman on the road. His first attack puts 2 wounds on Swordsman. Wonderman hits a bunch of middling numbers, so even with multiple attacks Luke and Swordsman only manage a couple wounds. Wonderman only gets one wound on his next attack, but then during the next volley by Swordsman he hits a 19, and wounds both Luke Cage and Swordsman (killing him). Luke Cage and Wonderman go toe to toe, and Luke Cage ends up living with 3 wounds. Winter Soldier is able to pick off Luke Cage before he can close the distance, so it's just Morbius vs Winter Soldier (Morbius is marked by Winter Soldier). Winter Soldier manages to get the first strike and land 3 wounds, but once Morbius closes the distance he eats Winter Soldier up, healing off anything more that Winter Soldier pumps out.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Morbius (3 wounds).
