Agreed. I'd prefer for his cost not to go up, so if the other results are similar, I'll look at stat changes. Dropping his Attack down, probably.

Army Test 1
Does it pass, Yes or No?
-Yes
What should be the unit's point value?
-360
Damage:
-6 wounds on Carnage, 1 wound on Hulk, 5 wounds on Red Hulk, 1 wound on Lizard.
Give a brief overview:
-This was definitely a strong showing for A-Bomb. I really like the Smash Landing special, and it helped get Hulk unengaged to end the round, thus making it easier to hurt him the following round. There's a good amount of potential with him, and the bigger the opponent's army, the better his Smash Landing will be. I dig it.

Army Test 2
Does it pass, Yes or No?
-Yes
What should be the unit's point value?
-360
Damage:
-1 wound on Thing, 2 wounds on Invisible Woman.
Give a brief overview:
-It was off to a good start with Abomination, I had the tactic in mind to really hurt all 4 of them as they usually travel together. However, after a decent Smash Landing at first, Mr. Fantastic got a lucky roll which allowed him to take a turn with all 4, and with Thing's double attack of 10(2nd one delivering 9 skulls), it was too much for A-Bomb to handle. I don't feel he wasn't up to par, I just feel he got in a bad situation, and was on the receiving end of some lucky rolls.
Map: Country Road(No Superstrength or Destructible Objects)

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes

Spoiler Alert!

A-bomb loses initiative and during his 2nd turn smash lands vision and spider woman for 1 wound, close to their starting zone after 2 super leap. Cap engages him, then he disengage and bomb cap and spider woman for another damage.
Loses the initiative again and vision approaches, a bomb disengage almost returning to his starting zone, cap and vision advance. A bomb smash lands again and inflict a wound on cap and vision.
Loses again, spider woman approaches,a bomb super leaps and smash lands vision and spider woman for 1, modok reaches the center of the map and attack cap for 4 killing him. Vision hits a-bomb for 3, a-bomb disengage taking 1 hit, and failing his smash land

Spoiler Alert!

Lost all the initiatives, and vision fail all his disruption rolls. A bomb was really lucky with his 5 smash landing, only failing one always attacking 2 figures, this won the game.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? A-Bomb with 4 wounds and none on modok

_____________________________________________________________

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 350
- Give a brief overview. Your average hulks beat down, a bomb can measure up to him but I'll even recommend dropping his point value to 350. Against powerful opponents he doesn't shine, it's always better to use his super strength punch instead of the bombing. I think Abomination Hasbro is a little better than him point by point
Map: Sewer Labyrinth
Units: A-Bomb vs Hulk and Doctor strange vs a bomb, she hulk and skrull infiltrator

Spoiler Alert!

Initiative lost. Hulk super leaps twice, engaging a bomb, a-bomb hits for 2, strange advances, she hulk engages hulk and hit him for 0 but knocking him back to avoid the rage for next turn marker.
Doctor strange wins initiative. A bomb smash lands mid map on Stephen strange hitting him for 1. Strange misses a bomb. She hulks corners hulks hitting him for 2 and knocking him agains the wall against the wall. Hulk is angry, retaliates for 3. She disengages hulks to calm him down and then hits strange against a wall. He only gets one wound. Hulks cools down.
A bomb smash lands and misses. . Hulk goes after a bomb. 1 wound. A bomb disengages and misses his smash land after getting one wound. Strange hits for 2 she hulk, she hulks hits strange for 1.
A bomb misses his smash landing again. Hulk engages she hulk killing her. No turn for her. Strange flies to hunt a bomb. A bomb engages hulks. Stranges hits a bomb for 3 after engaging.
A bomb hits hulks for and the knock back kills him, skrull infiltrator enters the gameno turn for hulk. A bomb hit strange for 0. Strange kills a bomb. Strange then kills the skrull.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Only strange is left on the board with 4 wounds.

_____________________________________________________________


Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass, in my opinion.
- What should be the unit's point value? He did 346 points in damage.
- Give a brief overview. A-bomb killed Arkillo and attacked an SCS, then Sinestro and Frankenstein squared off with Dragon Man bringing support. Dragon Man killed Frankenstein and Sinestro and the Last SCS.
Map: Alkali Lake
Units: A-bomb, Frankenstein, Dragon Man vs. Arkillo, 3x Sinestro Corps Soldier, Sinestro

Spoiler Alert!

Arkillo kills a SC Soldier and another SC moves up. A-bomb moves up with Super-Leap and Smash Lands for one wound. Arkillo eviscerates for three wounds on A-bomb and the SCS gives him one more. A-bomb gets height on Arkillo and rolls four skulls against one shield (three wounds on Arkillo). Arkillo and the SCS give A-bomb two more wounds. A-bomb kills Arkillo causing the loss of motivation.

Next round, Frankenstein moves up and takes a shot at the Yellow Lantern rolling two skulls. The Yellow Lantern in a fit of cockiness (and probably me being tired). Thinks it can defend and whiffs. Lost Om's for the first part of the round! Frankenstein moves up and now shoots at Sinestro and is blocked by a good defense roll. Frankenstein then moves into engagement and attacks, causing Sinestro to lose a battery. Dragon Man moves up. Sinestro and a SCS attack with Sinestro's Force of Fear twice giving Frankenstein three wounds after Undead Resilience.

New Round, Frankenstein makes Sinestro lose another marker and Dragon Man blasts with Fire at the SCS causing it to lose it's last marker. The SCS and and Sinestro bring Frankenstein one wound from death (again). Frankie removes Sinestro's last marker and Dragon Man blasts them both with fire bringing the Frankie to Death and Sinestro to three wounds (it was part of the plan). Sinestro attacks Dragon Man but only gives him two wounds. Dragon Man returns the favor with death to Sinestro. The SCS does nothing as he had no orders.

Dragon Man kills the last opponent.

Results: two wounds Dragon Man and a six wound A-bomb.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass, in my opinion.
- What should be the unit's point value? 396 points in damage dealt
- Give a brief overview. A-bomb killed Commander Rogers, and Thanos pretty much killed the rest, after meeting up with some moderate resistance against both of them.
Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Thanos (C3G), Oracle, A-bomb vs. Nick Fury, Commander Rogers, Black Widow, 3x Shield Agents, 3x Skrull Infiltrator

Spoiler Alert!

A-bomb super leaps towards the middle of the map. Nick Fury and his team drop (Nick, Black Widow, Rogers) and Black Widow attacks A-bomb, but only gives one wound. The Shield Agents put A-bomb into a kill-box, bringing him to three wounds. A-bomb disengages with his leap and smashes into two of the agents. Commander Rogers engages and attacks giving two more wounds. The killbox occurs again, but whiffs. Oracle gives A-bomb a boost in tactics and it's enough to get past Cap's shield with a massive attack of six-skulls versus two shields bringing him to 4 wounds. Cap and the agents give A-bomb more wounds bringing him to six wounds.

A-bomb smash lands and kills Rogers and two agents in a two hex radius. Some revealed to be Skrulls. Black Widow, moves towards Oracle and gives her two wounds and the agents kill A-bomb. Thanos kills Black Widow with Oracle's help. A Skrull appears in her place and tries to attack Thanos. Three more agents try to set up a Kill Box on him. Thanos disengages and uses his Permanent Death on two more agents killing them.

The last squad of Agents tries to put a bead on Thanos and roll four skulls, which is mostly blocked. (Two wounds). Thanos repays them, by killing them with Permanent Death. Nick Fury puts two more wounds on Thanos, before he also is killed.

Results: six-life A-bomb, five wound Thanos, two wound Oracle

[IAmBatman]

Hmm, well only one with the adjustment. HG's definitely shows that his cost was too low with the attack at 7, so I'm glad we made that adjustment.

In omael's, he went 1 and 1, but, man, he still wins big when he wins.

[TrollBrute]

Yeah, but it still only one win and rolling 9 out of 10 on Smash Landing while Vision failed all his rolls probably helped. We'll see what ZJ has to say and go from there.

[IAmBatman]

For sure. We definitely need more results with him at 6 attack.
