C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Citizen V

Army Test
Map: Sauron's Eyrie (Glyph of Orbital Laser Control)
Units: Citizen V @190, MACH-I, Atlas, Meteorite, Songbird (1050) vs Professor X, Angel (Warren), Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Storm (1050)

Spoiler Alert!

The Thunderbolts manage to quickly take out Jean, but Storm sticks around and uses her placement power to make things tough for Citizen V. Charlatan Coordination doesn't come up because she manages to keep MACH-I from being in position and Atlas never takes more than a wound at a time.

I threw the Glyph of Orbital Control into this one and the X-Men managed to retain control of it, giving them a critical edge.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 2 wounds to Iceman in 6 attacks (1 each @ 6 dice, 5 dice, 4 dice, 3 dice, 2 dice, 1 die), 2 wounds to Cyclops in 2 attacks (1 @ 5 dice, 1 @ 4 dice)
• Justice Like Lightning: used 3 times
• Charlatan Coordination: not used
• Damage Taken: 1 wound from Cyclops in 1 LEA, 1 wound from a Sotrm-induced lava bath, 1 wound from Glyph of Orbital Laser Control, 1 wound in 1 special attack from Cyclops

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

Map: Sauron's Eyrie (Glyph of Orbital Laser Control)
Units: Citizen V @190, MACH-I, Atlas, Meteorite, Songbird (1050) vs Fantastic Four, Wasp I (1050)

Spoiler Alert!

Human Torch's damage is very contained here (fortunate for the various Thunderbolts that are only 4-Lifers) as he goes down very early, and Meteorite shuts down Sue's defense boost for a couple rounds, leading to a fair win for the Thunderbolts.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 0 wounds to Thing in 3 attacks (1 each @ 5 dice, 4 dice, 3 dice)
• Justice Like Lightning: used 3 times
• Charlatan Coordination: made a difference 0 times on 4 rolls
• Damage Taken: 1 wound from Rock Wall Defense, 0 wounds in 1 attack from Thing

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Atlas with 1 wound, Songbird with 1 wound, MACH-I with 2 wounds

Army Test
Map: Sauron's Eyrie (no glyph)
Units: Citizen V @190, MACH-I, Atlas, Meteorite, Songbird, Captain America (C3G), Emma Frost (1460) vs Frankenstein, Living Mummy, Judge Mortis, Solomon Grundy, Jason Voorhees, Zombie, Blanka, Skrull Infiltrator x5 (1460)

Spoiler Alert!

Steve and Emma provide some serious extra firepower for the Charlatans here. Living Mummy goes all-in on a Citizen V assassination attempt. Zemo gets the better of him, but Frank is there to finish him off, and Zemo goes down early.

Despite Citizen V going down hard, the T-Bolts got out to a big lead here and dominated for most of the match. Sauron's Eyrie gave the high-flying Charlatans a big advantage over the ground-pounding creature/undead army. It actually looked like it was going to be a pretty big blowout, but the Skrulls/Jason/Grundy combo dragged out the endgame and gave the Undead a chance to pick off some of the remaining Charlatans.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 5 wounds to Mummy in 4 attacks (destroyed) (1 @7 dice, 1 @6 dice, 1 @5 dice, 1 @4 dice)
• Justice Like Lightning: used 2 times
• Charlatan Coordination: not used
• Damage Taken: 1 wound from lava courtesy of Mummy, 2 wounds in 1 attack from Mummy, 2 wounds in 1 attack from Frankenstein (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Captain America and Emma Frost unwounded

Spoiler Alert!

Martian Manhunter and Superman managed to take out Meteorite and Citizen V quickly, and the JL managed to control the map with some key movement powers. Superman went down a little earlier than expected, but the Justice League were still able to keep up with the T-Bolts, giving them a respectable win.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 1 wound to Superman in 1 attack (@ 6 dice) (destroyed)
• Justice Like Lightning: used 2 times
• Charlatan Coordination: made a difference 0 times on 2 rolls

Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Citizen V @190, MACH-I, Atlas, Meteorite, Songbird (1050) vs Professor X, Angel (Warren), Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Storm (1050)

Spoiler Alert!

Meteorite and Songbird go down weirdly early, but so do Professor X and Angel, more or less evening things out. Cyclops is able to marshal the remaining X-Men and take down the Thunderbolts, by just a hair.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 1 wound to Storm in 3 attacks (destroyed) (2 @ 6 dice, 1 @ 5 dice)
• Justice Like Lightning: used 5 times
• Charlatan Coordination: made a difference on 0 of 3 rolls

Spoiler Alert!

Rematched the Capbolts against the Creature/Undead army on a map where all the Flying figures didn't give the Capbolts as big an advantage. Capbolts still hit hard, but playing whack-a-mole against the resurrecting Undead figures eventually wears them down.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 12 wounds to Jason Voorhees in 8 attacks (2 @ 7 dice, 2 @6 dice, 2 @5 dice, 1 @4 dice, 1 @3 dice) (destroyed twice)

Army Test
Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Citizen V @190, MACH-I, Atlas, Meteorite, Songbird, Joker I (1240) vs Fantastic Four, Iron Man (Hasbro) (1240)

Spoiler Alert!

The FF have one big opening to take down Meteorite and Reed comes through on his d20 roll, activating three Adventurers. They take her down, and without her interfering with their clear sight, Sue and Ben manage to really take the fight to the Thunderbolts. The Thunderbolts get some good hits in, but they lose some key OMs when Meteorite and MACH-I go down, and they can't quite seal the deal and take down any of the Adventurers.

Joker slows down the FF steamroll by chucking a few Order Markers onto Sue's card, but he doesn't stop it.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 0 wounds to Human Torch in 6 attacks (1 @6 dice, 1 @5 dice, 1 @4 dice, 1 @3 dice, 1 @2 dice, 1 @1 dice)
• Justice Like Lightning: used 4 times
• Charlatan Coordination: made a difference on 2 of 6 rolls (Once bumped Atlas from a 5 to a 6, preventing him from taking a wound. Once bumped Atlas from a 17 to a 16, having him take a wound instead of inflicting one on Citizen V, Songbird and MACH-I)
• Damage Taken: 1 wound in 2 attacks from Invisible Woman, 4 wounds in 5 attacks from Iron Man (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mister Fantastic with 4 wounds, Human Torch with 3 wounds, Thing unwounded, Invisible Woman with 3 wounds, Iron Man with 1 wound

Army Test
Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Citizen V @190, MACH-I, Meteorite, Songbird (780) vs Green Arrow, Black Canary, Batgirl (Cass), Robin (Dick), Speedy (Roy), Oracle, Skrull Infiltrator (780)

Spoiler Alert!

The Thunderbolts managed to get on one of hte bridges and use that as a chokepoint to limit Team Arrow's ability to engage with them. Black Canary also had trouble stringing attacks together. Ollie managed to bring Zemo down to at least restore a little dignity to Team Arrow. Songbird was rolling really well on defense and came up with a couple really good rolls to cling to life and keep herself in the game.


Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack/Swordplay): 2 wounds to Robin in 1 attack @6 dice (destroyed), 2 wounds to Black Canary in 1 attack @5 dice (destroyed), 0 wounds to Batgirl in 1 attack @6 dice
• Justice Like Lightning: used X times
• Charlatan Coordination: made a difference on 0 of 3 rolls
• Damage Taken: 1 wound in 1 attack from Robin, 1 wound in 3 attacks from Black Canary, 1 wound in 1 attack from Green Arrow, 0 wounds in 1 attack from Speedy, 0 wounds in 1 attack from Batgirl, 2 wounds from Defensive Premonition (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Songbird with 4 wounds, Meteorite with 1 wound, MACH-I unwounded

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Definitely a strong leader. Somewhat relies on Songbird and Meteorite to protect him, but that's what I was shooting for. Justice Like Lightning has a lot of built-in flex, and you can gamble on it pretty safely when Zemo is low on Life, since he only needs the X.

Plays really well with Cap. Joker is nice, but Zemo can't leverage him to the same extent - Joker isn't worth any more here than he is in any other army that doesn't have a special use for the X.
