Units: MACH-I @190 points, Songbird (370) vs Psylocke, Yukio (370)

Spoiler Alert!

Things are much less lucky for the Charlatans here, and Psylocke cleans house. Diversionary Fire lets Abe reposition himself and Songbird pretty handily, but the dice are working against him.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): not used
• Support Fire: 0 wounds on 3 rolls
• Diversionary Fire SA: 1 wound to Psylocke in 6 attacks. Moved himself and Songbird several times
• Evasive Flying: not used

Units: MACH-I @190 points, Songbird (370) vs Hawkeye II, Meteorite (370)

Spoiler Alert!

Karla shuts down a lot of Abe and Melissa's mojo, but they manage to luck out and punch through her without too much trouble. Hawkeye takes out MACH-I and eventually Songbird as well.

MACH-I probably could have gotten more attacks in during this game, but he got up to 3 wounds very quickly and hung there for a while, so he was not a super-tempting place for Order Markers.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 2 wounds to Meteorite in 1 attack, 1 wound to Hawkeye in 1 attack
• Support Fire:
• Diversionary Fire SA:
• Evasive Flying:
• Damage Taken: 2 wounds from Meteorite in 1 attack, 2 wounds from Hawkeye in 3 attacks (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Hawkeye with 3 wounds

Army Test
Map: Fulcrum
Units: MACH-I @190 points, Songbird, Meteorite, Atlas (850) vs Wrecking Crew, Atom (850)

Spoiler Alert!

Meteorite's ability to shut down clear sight doesn't get as much play as she'd hope when Bulldozer bulldozes her at the first chance he gets. MACH-I sees very light action in this one, as he's mainly hanging back, and occasionally firing on enemies to help reposition allies (mainly Atlas). Atlas goes on a really great defensive tear, no-selling a lot of attacks and coming up with a 17+ on Ionic Imbalance twice to give MACH-I and Atlas the win.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): not used
• Support Fire: 1 wound to Wrecker, 1 wound to Piledriver on 6 total rolls
• Diversionary Fire SA: 1 wound to Thunderball in 2 attacks, 1 wound to Wrecker in 2 attacks, 1 wound to Piledriver in 2 attacks. Advanced Atlas several times
• Evasive Flying: not used
• Damage Taken: 2 wounds from Wrecker in 1 attack

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Atlas with 3 wounds, MACH-I with 2 wounds

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Initial still in progress, but he feels okay so far. Only played him in Charlatan builds as of yet, so the restrictions on Support Fire aren't really coming into play. Really liking how he bounces off Atlas and Songbird, though. Might try that same army of all the Charlatans against an army with more ranged options, before exploring some mixed army possibilities.

Map: Fulcrum
Units: MACH-I @190 points, Songbird, Meteorite, Atlas (850) vs Black Canary, Robin (Dick), Batgirl (Cass), Nite Owl, Catgirl, Green Arrow (Ollie), Speedy (Roy) (850)

Spoiler Alert!

Really uneven luck in this one. The Thunderbolts came out strong and annihilated most of the Star City team (MACH-I never even got a chance to use Support Fire because his team was steamrolling). After Meteorite and Atlas went down, Songbird and MACH-I experienced a reversal of fortune, and they took a couple rounds to bring down a solo Speedy (with MACH-I going down in the process)

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 2 wounds to Catgirl in 2 attacks (destroyed), 1 wound to Speedy in 4 attacks
• Support Fire: not used
• Diversionary Fire SA: 1 wound to Robin in 2 attacks (destroyed). Advanced himself and Atlas
• Evasive Flying: Archers picked different targets a few times when they would have preferred to go after MACH. No direct use.
• Damage Taken: 3 wounds from Speedy in 6 attacks (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Songbird with 1 wound

Spoiler Alert!

The Star City team managed to take down Atlas and Songbird fast, but Meteorite managed to bring down their key pieces before she went down, drawing the match down to MACH-I vs a bunch of ragtag sidekicks. MACH-I had the upper hand, but Robin held out for a long time even by Robin standards, and MACH-I went down before he could take him out.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 1 wound to Black Canary in 1 attack, 0 wounds to Robin in 5 attacks
• Support Fire: 1 wound to Black canary in 3 rolls

Army Test
Map: Sacred Shrine
Units: MACH-I @190 points, Songbird, Luke Cage, Spider-Man (C3G), Scarlet Spider (Ben) (1000) vs Original X-Men (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

MACH-I gets one-shotted in this one as the X-Men take a solid win. It's looking like a big win for the Mutants, but Spider-Man manages to befuddle Angel and Professor X's defensive powers, and his defense rolls come though in a big way on those occasions when his spider-sense fails.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): not used
• Support Fire: 0 wounds in 2 rolls
• Diversionary Fire SA: 0 wounds to Iceman in 2 attacks. Advanced Scarlet Spider
• Evasive Flying: caused ranged X-Men to choose other targets for non-adjacent attacks, not directly used
• Damage Taken: 4 wounds from Iceman in 1 attack

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Professor X unwounded

Army Test
Map: Sacred Shrine
Units: MACH-I @190 points, Songbird, Captain America (C3G), Zombie, Oracle, Ragdoll (1000) vs Original X-Men (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Jean manages to use her tossing to effectively disrupt Cap and Zombie's synergy and the X-Men come roaring out, but a few big lucky attack rolls from the Avengers level the playing field.

MACH-I gets a little more action in this one, including a big hit on Beast to put him down for the count.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 1 wound to Jean in 1 attack (destroyed), 0 wounds to Professor X in 3 attacks (2 1-skull rolls, 1 5-skull roll that was thwarted by Professor X), 4 wounds to Beast in 2 attacks (destroyed)
• Support Fire: 1 wound to Beast in 1 roll
• Diversionary Fire SA: 0 wounds to Beast in 2 attacks.
