Team B: Aquaman (II), Mera, Aqualad (170), Aqualad (60), Atlantean Palace Guards – 960 points

Battle Summary
The first 2 and 1/3 rounds were spent by both teams moving and posturing for battle. Aquaman took the first swing attacking Purple Man and inflicting a wound, he attempted to attack Purple Man a second time and Purple Man used his Reactive Mind Control to move Aquaman adjacent to Killer Croc. Black Mask then has Terminator attack Aquaman with his special attack, inflicting 3 wounds on Aquaman. Poision then moves her vines and moves herself with Black Mask’s Underworld Connections and engages Aquaman, but fails on her attack and on Toxic Love. The Palace Guards are able to strike back, inflicting 3 wounds on Terminator and 1 wound on Black Mask. Black Mask has Terminator finish the job on Aquaman, destroying him with his special attack as well as a Palace Guard. Ivy moves her vines and herself and is able to kill off another two Palace Guards with her plant animation. In the 4th round, Terminator finishes off the last palace guard, but not before taking another wound. Ivy is able to place a wound on Mera, but Mera strikes back and almost destroys Ivy putting 4 wounds on her. Things get dark for Mera her with Black Mask using Terminator and Ivy to destroy her before the end of the round. Ivy is able to heal herself once, but loses a Vine before the game is over. Terminator is destroyed by Aqualad (170) special attack in the 6th round before Black Mask and Croc get involved to end the game.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes):
After 6 Rounds, The Criminals win; figures remaining = Black Mask with 2 life remaining, Poison Ivy with 3 life remaining, 2 Vines, Croc all life remaining, Purple Man 3 life remaining.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Drafted into the right team build Terminator punches above his weight of 210, possibly 220-230. Even without the right figure to bond with, his high life and Combat Shotgun Special Attack keep him fairly draftable. 3 Defense feels low for a figure that is supposed to have a nearly indestructible skeleton, but his unstoppable resilience keeps him in the game.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I really like him with the low point leaders I used in the playtests as his charges. I find it funny how he pairs well with crime lords and masterminds, but it is completely Lex to have a reprogrammed Terminator fighting his battles for him.
