Army Test 1

- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 170-180
- Give a brief overview.Bouncing Boy did his share of damage here, but Superboy was the MVP.
Map: Country Road
Units: Boy's Club: Bouncing Boy (170), Cosmic Boy (260), Superboy (330), Krypto (80) (840) VS Luke Cage (190), Blue Beetle (160), Iron Fist (260), Shang-Chi (230) (840)

Unit Summary:
Damage w/normal: None; w/SA: 1 wound to Luke Cage, 2 to Iron Fist, 2 wounds to Blue Beetle.

Spoiler Alert!

R1: The Legionnaires take the bridge while the Fighters advance.

R2: Bouncing Boy does his thing, dealing out wounds to Luke and Danny. Blue Beetle drops, deals 2 wounds each to Superboy and Bouncing Boy and is then quickly KO'd by the two of them. Iron Fist takes out Krypto while Luke finishes off Bouncing Boy.

R3: Cosmic Boy and Superboy (who rolled 6/7 skulls THREE times in the round) take out Luke and Iron Fist, then begin beating up Shang-Chi.

R4: Cosmic Boy finishes Shang-Chi.

Wrap-up:The Legionnaires definitely had luck on their side here (and Blue Beetle certainly didn't!), Cosmic Boy hit has Magnetic Defense rolls at the best time and Superboy rolled almost nothing but skulls. Some early placement mistakes from the Fighters left plenty of openings for Bouncing Boy to use his SA, so he bounced around to his heart's content, hitting 3 figures in one turn plenty of times.

R4T2: Cosmic Boy with 0/4 wounds, Superboy with 3/6.

Army Test 2

- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 170-180
- Give a brief overview.A test against a swarming army to see how well Ballistic Ricochet will do.
Map: Custom
Units: Bouncing Boy (170), Cosmic Boy (260), Saturn Girl (220), Lightning Lad (180), Bishop (1000) VS Sage (190), Deadpool (285), X-23 (220), Multiple Man x10 (300) (995)

Unit Summary:
Damage w/normal: None; w/SA: 4 Multiple Men, 3 wounds to Deadpool, 2 to Sage, 4 to X-23.

Spoiler Alert!

R1: The Legionnaires take the high ground and KO two Dupes. Deadpool advances and deals a wound to Saturn Girl.

R2: Deadpool goes down, as well as two more Dupes, but not before Cosmic Boy takes two wounds and Saturn Girl another.

R3: Bouncing Boy deals a couple wounds to Sage and takes out a Dupe.

R4: The Dupes finally take down Cosmic Boy, X-23 joins the fray.

R5: Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl fall.

R6: Bouncing inflicts a few wounds to X-23.

R7: X-23 Frenzies and kills a friendly Dupe and is then destroyed by Bishop. The Dupes (now just two), deal a wound to Bishop.

R8: Bishop finally KOs the last of the Multiple Men.

Wrap-up:Bit of a seesaw battle here, the Legionnaires had the early lead and it looked like they were cruising to victory but X-23 and the last few Dupes really made a good push. Bouncing Boy got a lot of use out of his SA against a swarming army. X-23 whiffing against his 3/6 skull roll was a major turning point.

R8T4: Bishop with 4/5 wounds, Bouncing Boy 1/5.

Not a lot to say here, a fairly simple but solid unit. His SA is a lot of fun, and strong in the right situations. I geared the tests towards giving him those opportunities, but I got plenty of use out of it. That paired with the fact that it can do a good amount of damage, makes me think his cost could use a bump. He feels more like a 180-190 figure in his best-case scenarios and the SA should have some nice uses against podding armies like Puppet Master, Mastermind or John Stewart, so I'd say at least 170. A nice addition to the Legionnaire faction.
