Post-game thoughts: Team 1 just really struggled with turn efficiency, which is kind of a recurring problem with these JLD builds. Swamp Thing felt just about perfect though. A tough bruiser, but not too tough, and the plants felt disruptive enough without being annoying.

Portable Toilets didn’t get much use here. Norrin destroyed one early to get a Cosmic Speed boost, but otherwise they went ignored.

Probably could've placed these so they would have been a bigger deal, but they just don't do anything extremely impactful. (Which is fine for a joke DO, IMO.)

[tcglkn]

Cool. Yea they don’t have much of an impact which is ideal.

I propose we move to final editing.

[Arch-vile]

yea

[IAmBatman]

I know you already called for the vote, but I wrapped up my tests today and the Portable Toilet actually came into play in the last match.

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT ( Portable Toilet )

Army Test 1
Set the Stage: The Decipticons have learned about a toxic waste dump site and are interested to see if they can turn it into poisoned Energon cubes they could trick the Autobots into taking. Megtron and Soundwave go to the site, while the Seekers patrol above. The Autobots learned about the plan and have responded to try and stop them, while informing the GI Joe team of what's going down. The situation is developing fast, so the Joes send whatever help they can. Rip Cord is the one guy who could drop in from an airplane too high up and too fast for the Seekers to not just shoot out of the sky. Will he make the difference?
Map: Roxxon Corp. Illegal Toxic Waste Dump Site (2 grassy hills covered in tree DO's on either side of the map, 3 hex truck DO (parked car) in middle, 2 Toxic Waste barrel DO's at the rear, in front of truck 2 Port-a- Potty DO's, and site is surrounded by 4 pre-fad temp (sm. & lag. ruin DO) walls to prevent pics being taken)
Units: Rip Cord @120, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl (w/Commando update) (1000) vs. Megatron, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Ravage (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Occupied! Usage: Never Occupied.
Foul Stench Usage: Not used, considered moving Rip in their at one point though to see if I could use the stink cloud to mess around with Laserbeaks ability to fly over someone and roll unblockables vs. via Observe and Report.
Damage Received: None.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Soundwave w/4W, Ravage w/2W, & Laserbeak w/2W won.

Recap: Optimus Prime fell at the start of R2 and that hurt the Autobots chances for sure. R3 and Bee is the next to fall. Rip runs for the hills, while Prowl moved over by the Chemical Waste Barrels in an attempt to draw the Con's that way before Rip got killed and could no longer detonate the bomb. R4, Laserbeak was ordered to Observe and Report on what the human was up to, which resulted in Rip's death. Looks like I should have tried out that Foul Stench ploy after all, then Laserbeak couldn't have flown over him had he stayed close to the Port-a-potty. OM1 is lost. Prowl finishes off Megatron at the end of the round. R5, Prowl whiffs to end the game, taking 3W from Soundwave.
Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes, no issues outside of maybe remembering which Portable Toilets had been occupied and which ones had not when looking at 4+ of them on the board.

Army Test 2
Set the Stage: Cap & US Agent have found Zemo hiding out at a Toxic Waste dump site and placed him under arrest. They are not the only ones that have found him though. A group of Mercenaries have been hired to hunt down Zemo and take him out before he can betray all the secrets he knows. Cap & US Agent are cornered and outnumbered, so the reluctantly team up with Zemo to escape. A call goes out for help from anyone in the area. Rip Cord just happens to be in a plane 30,000 feet above them, on loan to the DEA. He answers the call and comes to Cap's rescue.
Map: Roxxon Corp. Illegal Toxic Waste Dump Site
Units: Rip Cord @130, Capt. America (C3G), Baron Zemo (Helmut), US Agent (800) vs. Nebula, Silver Samurai, Batroc, Madripoor Mercs x2 (800)

Spoiler Alert!

Occupied! Usage:Never Occupied.
Foul Stench Usage: N/A
Damage Received: None.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? 2 Madripoor Mercs, Nebula w/4W's, Silver Samurai & Batroc at full health win pretty easily.

Recap: Mercs succeed and putting an end to Zemo before he can talk. Portable Toilets don't really come into play here outside of normal LOS blocking. They were used to hide behind a few times from a merc trying to shoot down from the hill, then Cap & Rip had to make sure they could still see each other when Rip dropped in on the hill.
Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes, no issues here.

Army Test 3
Set the Stage: Rip is training for HALO jump, when command informs him of a distress call. Hawkeye leads a small team tasked with finding out what Roxxon Crop has been up to of late. They have stumbled onto an illegal Toxic Waste Dump site that's heavily guarded and now find themselves out numbered. Rip Cord decides to drop in and give Hawkeye a hand.
Map: Roxxon Corp. Illegal Toxic Waste Dump Site (stopped playing the walls as DO's)
Units: Rip Cord @140, Hawkeye II, Hawkeye (Kate), Comedian (600) vs. Lex Corp x2, Wizard, Scorpion (600)

Spoiler Alert!

Occupied! Usage: R3T1, the last LCS decides to hide in one of the Portable Toilets instead of attacking on their turn after Hawkeye and Comedian come flying in their direction on T1. They had all the OM's on their card and didn't want to get taken out.
Foul Stench Usage: Didn't come into play, Hawkeye went down on the same turn it was occupied.
Damage Received: Comedian attacked Scorpion and the Portable Toilet occupied by the LCS with his Flame Thrower SA. 4 skulls were rolled on 4 dice, the Portable Toilet rolled 2 shields on 3 dice, taking 2W's since is was a SA and the auto-shield from being occupied only works on normal attacks. The Portable Toilet was destroyed, but no extra W's were left over so the LCS was just placed on the board.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? 1 LCS, Scorpion w/4W's, and Wizard at full health won.

Recap: They really didn't come into play at all until the very end of the match. Then they saw a bit of action as the last LCS hid in one. It was then destroyed (details above).
Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes, it worked well.

[tcglkn]

You could throw a vote in with that
