@midgieboy3 We ask for some kind of game summary for all playtest reports. Whether turn-by-turn, round-by-round or just a brief rundown, we can't evaluate the unit without information on the games. We also ask for you to list the end result of the game, including which team won, which figures were left and how many wounds those figures had. A summary of the unit's performance is also very helpful, something like Ronin had:

Normal attack: Bill suffered from lousy rolls. Across eight normal attacks he only dealt damage with two attacks, inflicting a total of 4W to destroy Surfer.
2W taken from Reed, 1W from leaving engagement attack, 2W taken from Mass Master, destroyed by Lightspeed
Stormbreaker (ranged: 3 uses): 1W on She-Hulk
Stormbreaker (melee: 2 uses): 3W to Mass Master, destroying Mass Master; 3W to Energizer
Back to Back: 5 uses. Very helpful even with some poor attack rolls. A little better luck could have made this a very scary match for the Adventurers.

The code for spoiler tags is: {spoiler}whatever you want to put in the spoiler{/spoiler}, just replace { and } with [ and ].

I completely understand I took notes round by round but not as in depth as I should. My brother in law and I are going to try to get another 3 games in tonight. I'll record move by move round by round.

Last time I mess up

[IAmBatman]

Make sure to include the results too - who won, which figures they had left, how much life those figures had left, and what round it was when they won.

I will, I wrote round by round turn by turn. I was just so excited to play test I didn't read all the threads necessary. I have, and this mistake will not happen again. The same goes with posting in the wrong thread. I don't know about spelling and punctuation because I was never really that good at it to begin with, it's like they say if you skate around better skaters your going to get better. If you hang around the best Heroscape players your going to get better. The more I use this site(like I've had the past four or five days) the more I will understand. Thanks for everyone's patients.

No problem. The Heroscapers community is very kind in general. Sometimes the only way to learn is trial and error.

[Midgieboy3]

I enjoyed this process, it's just hard to get games going because of the limited amount of people I have to play with.

Beta Ray Bill is a great add to the C3G world. All the games I played were played smoothly. All wording was good to me I could understand exactly what to do with him.

Heimdall senses Jane Foster is in trouble she was cashing her check at the bank the same time the Wrecking Crew was trying to rob it. Heimdall tells Thor that Jane is in danger, Thor and Beta decide to finish there debate at another time.
Map: Turret Rocks
Units: Beta Ray Bill and Thor. (850) vs Wrecker, Thunderball, Piledriver, and Bulldozer. (800) The battle went 7 rounds.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1 went to the Wrecking Crew. Two of the four members successfully rolled a 14 or higher for WC14 or WC10 for Wrecker. Thunderball attacked Bill this round with 2 skulls to 0 shields, Bill had bad rolls all night and the first one started it off. By the end of the round Thor was adjacent to Bill.
Round 2 had way more action, both Vic and myself (Vic is the guy I was playing with) wanted to play as many games as we could get in so neither of us ran from a fight, it was kind of an unspoken rule. Thor and Bill began the round winning initiative 16 to 14. Thor throws Mjolnir at Wrecker Thor's attack was 3 Wrecker rolled 2 defense that took Wrecker down to 5 life. Wrecker continued to move up the rocks and tossed his crowbar at Thor, attack 2, Thor's only came back with one skull. It was a bad day for the both of them. Bill then hit Wrecker with Stormbreaker attack. Bill rolls 4, Wreckers defense was 3 and lost 1 more life bringing him down to 4. Wrecker tries to return damage but bill blocks it. Attack 3 defense 4. My 3rd and final mark for this round was Bill, he moved up to higher elevation and get +1 for height then attacks Wrecker with his normal attack. Bills attack was 5 Wrecker rolled 1 shield. He loses 4 life and is out of the game quick.
Round 3 started with Thor and Bill winning initiative 18 to 17. Thor uses Mjolnir and attacks Piledriver 3 attack to 2 defense Piledriver looses 1 life and is down to 5 life. Thor ended his turn adjacent to Bill so the ability back to back would work if Bill was in range. Thunderball moves into the water, uses WC14=13. Thor moves 6 atop the rocks and now has a hight advantage +1. Thor attacks Piledriver with 5 Piledriver rolls one skull. -4 for Piledriver, he has 1 life left. Piledriver returns the attack 4 skulls to 3 skills Thor looses 1 life, he lost 1 more to Piledriver special attack. Left with 6 life. Piledriver WC14=8. Thor disengages and recives no leaving engagement. Thor throws Mjolnir but misses 0 skulls. The final move of the round is Bulldozer he moves 6 into the water WC14=12.
Round 4 initiative went 18-16 me, Bill was my first mark he moved 5 and has hight advantage and attacks Piledriver, it was 5 skulls to 2 shields. Pile driver DIED.... Next Thunderball went, he moved 3 onto the Glyph of Astrio. Thunderball uses WC14=10 so it is ineffective. Bill moves 1 space and uses Stormbreaker, 2 skulls to 1 shield. Bulldozer has 5 life left, next Bulldozer moves onto the sand and uses WC14=17 Thunderball then attacks Bill, 4 skulls to one shield. Bills loses 3 life Bill has 1 life left. Thunderball uses W.C.14=9. My last attack for this round was Thor, Thor uses Mjolnir on Thunderball but gets 0 skulls. Betta gets to go next because Thor ended his turn adjacent to Bill, Bill gets to use back to back, but misses Bulldozer, 0 skulls. Vic's final move was Piledriver but since he died earlier I. The round, round 4 is over.
Round 5 started with initiative going 6-2 Wrecking Crew. Thunderball goes first and attacks Bill 3 skulls to 4 shields WC14=5. Thor moves 3 still adjacent to Bill, and throws Mjolnir 1 skull to 1 defense. Bill uses back to back and throws Stormbreaker at Bulldozer 3 skulls to 2 shields, Bulldozer looses 1 life to bring him to 5 life. Then Thunderball attacks Bill 2 skulls to 2 shields. WC14=14, Bulldozer moves back into the water. WC14=4 does not work. Thor moves onto the sand now engaged to both Bulldozer and Thunderball, Thor attacks Bulldozer 4 skulls to 2 shields, Bulldozer is down to 3 life left. The Wrecking Crews final move was Bulldozer, He moved 4 spaces and get +1 skull for charging. 3 skulls to 2 shields, plus 1 for charge and takes Bill out of the game!!! WC14=2+3 for killing Bill, still doesn't work. My 3 ,ar was Bill, he died, end of round.
Round 6 started initiative 14-16 Me, Thor uses G.O.T.S. On thunder ball but is unsuccessful. (rolled a 4) Soon after Thunderball went, He attacks Thor 1 skull to 2 shields, WC14=8 so Thor returns blows, 3 skulls to 2 shields. That brings Thunderball's life to 5. Thunderball attacks back 2 skulls to 3 shields. WC14=8. Thor returns blows with Thunderball rolling 3 skulls to 2 shields. Thunderball has 5 life left. Thunderball attacks Thor unsuccessfully 2 skulls to 3 shields. WC14=18 so Bulldozer moves 4 and attacks Thor. Bulldozer get +1 skull for charge and rolls 4 skulls to 2 shields Thor gets -2 life and is down to 3 life left. Bull ends his turn with WC14=12. Thor uses Mjolnir against both Thunderball and Bulldozer. The roll goes 1 skull for Thor, 1 shield for Thunderball, and 3 shields for Bulldozer. Bulldozer moves 2 into the sand and attacks Thor, 3 skulls to 1 shield. Thor losses another 2 life and brings him to 1 life left. WC14=13. That ends the round.
Round 7 (Final Round) was very short I won initiative 20 to 17. Thor went first and attacks Thunderball 5 skulls to 2 shields, Thunderball losses 3 life and is down to 2 life. Bulldozer goes next he attacks Thor 5 skulls to 0 shields. That ends the match, WRECKING CREW WINS!!

Okay, I know this one is sub-par it was my first one, and when I was doing it I had to use my iPad for everything, now I'm all set up, got everything I need Etc. Then next one will be a gem.
