_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - An empire as vast as that of the Kree, with hundreds of worlds stretching across the Magellanic Cloud, has resource needs even vaster. And so, there must be conquest - and where there is conquest, there must be leadership. The Kree Captains are the foremost of their forward officers, and the best suited for such missions. Green-clad, proud bearing, on the front line of every assault, calling shots and choosing targets: these are those Kree.

KREE FORWARD OFFICER
A Common Kree figure you control may add 1 to its Range when attacking a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of this Kree Captain, to a maximum of +2 Range for all Kree Captains you control.

COORDINATED ASSAULT
When a Common Kree figure you control attacks an opponent's figure that is within 4 clear sight spaces of this Kree Captain, you may re-roll one attack die that did not show a skull.

[Scapemage]

Nice and simple design. I like it. Forward Officer is a simple leadership power. I would consider allowing them to get a grand total of +2 move if there's numerous Captains nearby.

Coordinated Assault is nice. No complaints there.

[Karat]

I can see that. I forget why we went with 1 to begin with.

[Ronin]

Nice!

One problem with him having a class of Soldier is that it creates some ambiguity with the Kree Soldiers - where their powers shout out 'Kree Soldier', that could now be interpreted as either referring to the unit name, or to the species/class combo.

This is also a problem that came up on the Amazon Warriors recently - I've been thinking of suggesting we go back and tweak the names of units that are just named [species] [class].

Super psyched to see you bringing these guys back! Stats and first power look solid.

The "may choose" prevents this from being too much of a problem, but just because it's possible, what happens if I have, say, four Kree Captains in different corners of the map and activate this power on all of them, for different targets. Can my Common Kree figures just not attack at all?

It seems like a passive power on an Uncommon Hero should be more stacking friendly. Would there be anything wrong with cutting the "can attack only the chosen figure" part and just doing the attack boost?

[tcglkn]

I agree with the point that uncommon heroes should probably be able to stack better. Wish the move got boosted to a max of +2-3 instead of +1.

[Karat]

The only reason was because I didn't want it to be too overpowered, and the Soldier thing was intentional and a FAQ could cover that.

[Yodaking]

It's been a while since I have used the Kree common figures. I'll need to review what they can do already. Excited to see that faction expand though as I know they needed some love.

[Yodaking]

Looking at how Kree Invasion works on the Kree Soldier card, I'd give him at least 3 life, if not 4.

Not sure I'm sold on the idea that they need more move, the Scouts move 6 already and can teleport others up to their locations, the Soldiers move 5 and have a swarm/group movement power when fighting alongside a Kree unique (or uncommon) hero. Maybe a range boost for the soldiers from 5 to 6, and the Scouts range of 7 bumps up to 8? Then either eliminate or extend the aura for Coordinated Assault's target choices. Have the Capt. choose a target farther away and the extra range allows more Soldiers to hit that target without moving off high ground gained via the Scouts.

[quozl]

Might be able to take something from the SHIELD Spotter.

Here is what I am currently thinking.
