C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: MACH-I @200 points

Army Test
Map: A Couple of Puddles
Units: MACH-I, Meteorite, Songbird, Atlas (860) vs Martian Manhunter I, Flash (Barry), Batman I, Robin (Dick) (850)

Spoiler Alert!

Support Fire was key in the early rounds helping the slow moving Atlas get engaged. This looked like it would be a steamroll early with the T-Bolts rocking the Justice League but MM and Robin ended up lasting long enough to take out Songbird and after she went down the defense rolls cooling off in combination with the loss of the Defense boost had the T-Bolts sweating.

After that the JL focused on MACH-I and once he was gone they picked off Atlas at range.



Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 1 wounds to MM in 1 attack
• Support Fire: 1 wound to Robin, 1 wound to Flash in 5 total rolls
• Diversionary Fire: 1 wounds to Flash, 1 Batman on wounds to Iron Fist in 2 attacks. Moved Songbird, Oracle. Disengaged Songbird from Luke Cage and moved her to height.
• Evasive Flying: not attacked from range
• Damage Taken: 1 wounds from Flash, 3 from Martian Manhunter

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

Army Test
Map: A Couple of Puddles
Units: MACH-I, Songbird, Luke Cage, Firestar, Speedball (840) vs Super Skrull X, Super Skrull F4, Skrull Warriors x2 (840)

Spoiler Alert!

Wanted to check him out in a Crime Fighter build and he was just as fun. DF again played a nice roll and Support Fire was useful. Mach-I got taken out mid game or he could have done more damage probably. This was our first game with the Skrulls actually so I'm not sure if they are typically this strong or if I was just playing too stubbornly against them. Particularly SS4 and his rock wall bounce. I tried to use Luke to engage him so I could fire from range with the rest of the team and probably took a few too many attack attempts with Luke vs the Super Skrull when I should have just passed on the turn. However when Luke did go down after another 3 shield roll from SS4 Song Bird is a great back-up option for Luke in a Crime Fighter Build.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 1 on SS4
• Support Fire: 1 on SSX
• Diversionary Fire: use two turns (4 attacks) for 2 total wounds on SS4 and moved up Firestar 3 times.
• Evasive Flying: avoided 1 wound
• Damage Taken: KO'd

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Skrulls win with 1 Warrior left and SS4 4/6 wounds, SSx 4/5 wounds

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: First off, Great work with this faction.
It was an absolute blast to play. My only wish was that Sonic Constructs was a "may" power since there were times I didn't want to roll that extra die for Atlas. MACH-I however was a great support piece. I used his Special Attack typically even though I didn't get many wounds in.
The ability to move figures in this team was great. Moving Meteorite into engagement to set up her Manipulation power and helping Atlas keep up with the flyers and engage with some opponents in hopes of triggering his imbalance power was a lot of fun. Even though I was never able to trigger Atlas at the right time. The game did tend to drag on a long time due to the high defense and defense bonus Songbird brings. This was one of my favorite faction games in a long time.
I was originally worried about them but the second test eased my mind. I like him a lot and feel 200 works.
