BIOELECTRIC MANIPULATION
Once player per turn, when combat dice are rolled for an opponent’s figure within 5 clear sight spaces of Ion, you may choose one die rolled, or two if that figure is an Android, Cyborg, or has the Electrically Charged power. All chosen dice must be rerolled once.

TELESTATIC TELEKINETICS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 4 + Special.
If Ion inflicts at least one wound with this special attack, he may attack again, rolling one additional attack die. Ion may continue attacking with this special attack until he does not inflict a wound, to a maximum of three attacks per turn. Figures may only be targeted for this attack once per turn.

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Ion (155), Rocket Racoon II, Star-Lord, Baron Zemo (Helmut) (800) vs Wrecking Crew (800)
Unit Summary
Damage: 3 damage dealt.
Abilities: 2 rerolls used. 1 saved a wound, other ineffective.

Spoiler Alert!

General Flow:
R1: Star-Lord takes 3 after putting 2 on Piledriver.
R2: Star-Lord goes down to strong hit from Wrecker, and Ion follows shortly after.
R3: Rocket is dropped, and Bulldozer and Piledriver take out the Baron.
General thoughts: Not enough real power in this build to leverage against the Wrecking Crew. I think he likes Star-Lord, so we will tweak and try higher point teams for him to work in.
Unit Summary:
R1 T1: Advances
R2 T2: Puts 1 on Thunderball and 2 on Wrecker with SA (no reroll used). (OT: Makes Wrecker reroll a skull so he misses SL)
R2 T3: Makes Wrecker Reroll, but SL whiffs and dies. With the lost stats, Ion goes down to Piledriver’s fists.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Wrecking Crew ins, 2 wounds on Wrecker and Piledriver, 1 wound on Thunderball, 3 wounds on Bulldozer.

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Ion (155), Rocket Racoon I, Baby Groot, Onomatopoeia, Star Lord, Magik (1000) vs Fan 4 (1000)
Unit Summary
Damage: 0 damage done.
Abilities: 3 productive rerolls.

Spoiler Alert!

General Flow:
R1: Quick converge, no wounds.
R2: Onomatopoeia gets a quick 2 wounds on Fantastic. He goes down to the Flames of Torch as Rocket whiffs his BFG. Thing smooshes Ion.
R3: Torch and Reed kill Rocket. Magic poofs past Reed, attacking Sue. They retaliate and Star Lord goes down.
R4: Fan 4 win initiative and they quickly dispatch Magik and Groot.

General thoughts: Still a blood bath. A bit too hodge podgey to act appropriately here. Had more than a few rerolls getting the same thing, which stunk, but definitely keeps him in check. He’s not too bulky, but he definitely can inhibit the foes, which puts more of a target on him than he probably likes.
Unit Summary:
R1 T1: Moves up.
R2 T3: Whiffs SA. Killed by Thin.

Rerolls:
R1 T2: HT Attack Skull to Skull
R1 T3: MF Attack Skull to Skull
R2 T1: MF Defense Shield to Skull MF Attack Skull to Skull
R2 T2: Thing Attack Skull to Shield.
R2 T3: MrF Defense Shield to Shield. Thing Attack Skull to Blank.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Fantastic 4 win. 4 wounds on Reed, 3 on Torch, 1 on Thing, 2 on Sue

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Ion (145), Red Skull II, Crossbones, Cheetah (Barbara), Red Hood (1000) vs Fan 4 (1000)
Unit Summary
Damage: 3 damage done.
Abilities: 3 productive rerolls.

Spoiler Alert!

General Flow:
R1: Cheetah Quickly jumps to the back, but doesn’t do much. No wounds dealt by the Fan 4 either as things get tight together.
R2: Crossbones and Red Skull fail to scratch their foes. Red Hood sneaks a wound on Thing thanks to Ion. Torch burns Skull and Bones, but Cheetah is a wall that can’t be hurt.
R3: Fan 4 win initiative and roll an 18 on Leadership. Skull goes to 1 life left, and Cheetah is smashed. Torch’s Nova kills Crossbones and puts 2 on Ion.
R4: Hood fails to get a wound on Sue when he goes after her, then is squished by Thing. Ion also whiffs his defense and dies.
General thoughts: The rerolls from Skull are nice for keeping survivability, but obviously an initiative loss can be massive. Round 3 it all went to crap when Red Skull’s team lost initiative and subsequently saw both he and Cheetah drop, putting a massive damper on the team.
Unit Summary:
R1 T2: Moves up.
R3 T3: Kills Torch and puts 2 on Fantastic.

Rerolls:
R2 T1: Thing Attack Skull to shield
R2 T3: Thing Defense Shield to Blank. Thing attack Skull to Skull.
R3 T1: Thing Attack Skull to Skull.
R3 T3: Thing Attack Skull to Skull. Fantastic Def Shield to Skull.
R4 T1: Thing Attack Skull to Skull.

R1 T3: MF Attack Skull to Skull
R2 T1: MF Defense Shield to Skull MF Attack Skull to Skull
R2 T2: Thing Attack Skull to Shield.
R2 T3: MrF Defense Shield to Shield. Thing Attack Skull to Blank.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Fan 4 win. Reed 2 wounds, Thing 1 wound, Sue unwounded.

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Ion (155), Red Skull II, Torque, Peter Stanchek, Faith Herbert (1055) vs Xavier, Wolverine, Deadpool, Jean Grey, Angel (1055)
Unit Summary
Damage: 0 damage done.
Abilities: 4 productive rerolls.

Spoiler Alert!

General Flow:
R1: Team Psiot stands strong, and Pete and Faith do serious damage to Wolvie.
R2: Faith is killed by Wolverine. Red Skull gets a hit on Xavier. Wolverine does damage to Pete. Ion is near death and Torque is brought up after Wolverine is Stung. Ion is killed by Jean’s throw.
R3: Initiative Psiots. Red Skull goes after Xavier but is blocked by the X. Pete takes control of Deadpool after stinging Wolverine, and uses him to kill Xavier and wound Jean.
R4 and on: Wolverine is blocked by Pete’s field, and Red Skull kills Wolverine. The back and forth goes on, as the Psiots and the skull slowly whittle down their foes. Deadpool can’t keep up with his foes blocking his attacks and stinging him, and the Mutants eventually go down.
General thoughts: So making it two dice does increase the amount of a target he is. I do think this was still kind of an awkward swing of a game, but it felt a tad better. But I also may be over prioritizing him given the thought of the potential of him.
Unit Summary:
R1 T2: Carried up by Faith.
R2 T2: Killed by Wolverine.

Rerolls:
R1 T3: Deadpool Attack 2 skulls to 1 skull 1 shield. Wolverine Defense 2 shields to 1 shield 1 skull.
R2 T1: Wolverine Attack 2 skulls to 1 skull 1 blank.
R2 T2: Wolverine Attack 2 skulls to 2 blanks. Wolverine defense shield to skull.


Who won and how many wounds did they have? Psiots and Skulls win. Pete with 2 wounds, Torque unwounded, Skull with 3 wounds.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: His disruption is nice, but puts a target on him. I think it will be a good building block for Harada’s faction, but he struggles a bit in practice. Got some tweaks to propose we move forward with now after feeling out how he plays.
