Spoiler Alert!

Kingpin and his gang of Criminals, now including Taskmaster via the story card, sent the squads to the top height of the map while the heroes went down the middle. At first the Heroes for Hire took some wounds from Henchmen but then Ronin took charge and wiped out a squad over 2 turns. With Ronin getting hot, the Criminals shifted focus to him from Luke Cage and quickly removed the threat. Rhino went after Daredevil, wearing him down while taking a few wounds. The last couple of Henchman defeated Daredevil. Rhino then went after Wolverine doing 4 wounds, but the Henchmen got tied down with Luke Cage and couldn't finish him off. Wolverine took out Rhino quickly. After a couple more exchanges, Moon Knight, Wolverine and the last 3 Henchmen were gone.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Kingpin full 5 life, Taskmaster 3 wounds/2 life left

Spoiler Alert!

Sabretooth went on a mission to go after Doc Ock while the other Mutants tried to keep the other Sinister Six busy. Batroc who was turned into a Criminal took out Jubilee but was put down by X-23. Domino and X-23 then took Vulture and Boomerang down. Rhino and Batroc beatdown Domino while X-23 and Kraven battled. Sabretooth finally made his way to Doc Ock and finished him over 2 attacks. Kraven finished off X-23, but Sabretooth took him and a wounded Rhino down to end the game.

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: 1000 pts – Doc Ock(Sin Six) 250, Bullseye 170, Batroc the Leaper 140, For the Right Price Story Card x2, Rhino, Captain Cold 90, Heatwave 110 VS 1000 pts – Fantastic Four

Spoiler Alert!

Fantastic Four win big. The high defense made it very hard for the Sinister Six to get some hits in. Sue was able to stay protected easily to keep the defensive bonus for most of the game. Torch eventually fell to Bullseye, which allowed for a Rhino charge on Sue finally taking her out. At that point it was too late and Reed and Ben finished off those two and Doc Ock to end it.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Thing 2 wounds/4 life left, Mister Fantastic 4 wounds/1 life left

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: This Story Card was deisgned to help out the Mercenary and Assassin class by allowing them to get into more builds. It hits on theme, giving Assassins and Mercs that “gun for hire” feel. All my tests were in Criminal builds as there aren't any Terrorist builds that make any sense in 2.0 yet. 10 points seems right on. Allowing more than one of these Story Cards in a build also works fine, it gives more options in Criminal or Terrorist armies but at a cost, want to bring 3? Sure but it's at a cost of 30 points, most people aren't willing to give up that much. All and all this card accomplishes what it set out to do, make Assassins and Mercenaries have a thematic way to be put into armies. I should go to public playtesting without issue.

[Ericth74]

No issues allowing more than 1 card into a army. The question is:

Would we call this a common story card? Or just word it that you can more than 1 copy of this story card in your army?

[MrNobody]

I’m fine with either!

[Yodaking]

I think the 'Not what I signed up for' will keep it from being abused. The more you use it the more likely one is the last figure left standing and just bails on you.

[Arch-vile]

Common Story Card makes sense to me. pre-yea

[IAmBatman]

The common/uncommon thing is a bit twisted in my brain when it comes to cards like this. Like I think you'd want to have two separate cards that trigger separately, which to me means uncommon? It gets weird with figureless design, since common (for our purposes) basically means multiple figures sharing one card.

yea for testing

[Yodaking]

We have common & unique spells and are looking to expand that system so other things can use the same format, so I don't see why we don't also have common & unique story cards.

[IAmBatman]

Fwiw, I'm not sure common spells 100% make sense either, by the same criteria. They're not sharing a card.

But I'm also ultimately OK if one-shots and story cards use uniqueness slightly differently than character cards and DOs do.

Figureless cards and figure cards are just functionally different in some ways. And obviously no one brought up issues with common spells in 1.0.

[Yodaking]

I think the idea that common things can be drafted multiple times, where as unique things are one per army, works fine.

Sure. Problem is uncommon things can also be drafted multiple times, so sorting between them and commons are where it gets messy.

[Ericth74]

I don't have an issue calling this an Uncommon Story Card if we want to stay uniform.

I propose a vote for Public Playtesting

Whatever we decide to label it won't effect playtesting. Just needs 2 votes.
