Unit Summary: Crossbones didn’t do too terribly much here, but he was an addition to a pretty powerful combination (Red Skull, Penguin (II), Hired Guns), so he was certainly able to do what he seems to do best – hang back and act as a Trigger Man, sneaking in additional wounds on big Red Skull turns. It was too much for the Heroes for Hire to keep up with here.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (4) wounds on (Jessica Jones (3) and Daredevil (1))
• TRIGGER MAN: Used (5) times to get in double attack from range with Crossbones.
  [*BRUTALITY: Never used.
• HUMAN SHIELD 12: Never used.
• Damage Taken: Never attacked.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Red Skull, Crossbones, and Penguin (II), all with Full Life, win.

Unit Summary: That’s the second big win for Crossbones. He’s been in some good armies, with solid figures like Red Skull and Robot, but even so, he pairs best with those types of figures, and he makes what they do better by adding a pretty solid ranged attack to what they do. He’s not the sole reason his teams did so well (they also had decent dice luck, it seems) but he’s feeling a bit undercosted as is to me.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (5) wounds on (Iron Man (1) and Black Panther (4))
• TRIGGER MAN: Used for the double attack (3) times.
• BRUTALITY: Used to subtract defense (1) times.
• HUMAN SHIELD: Never used, as he was never attacked from range.
• Damage Taken: None.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Baron von Strucker with 3/5 Life, and Robot and Crossbones with Full Life win.
