_____________________________________________________________

Army Test 1

- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 100-120
- Give a brief overview.FanFive VS a hardcore version of the Secret Avengers.
Map: Ravaged Road
Units: Lady Blackhawk (110), Mister Fantastic (235), Invisible Woman (235), Human Torch (225), Plastic Man (145) (930) VS Commander Rogers (250), Livewire (260), Titanium Man (240), Punisher (180) (930)

Unit Summary:
Damage: 2 wounds to Punisher.
Adept Operator: 0 extra spaces moved.

Spoiler Alert!

Titanium Man grabs the bridge and attacks the camped F5. He is not able to do much and Livewire is forced to move in earlier than planned. Together they are able to take down Human Torch and Plastic Man before falling to Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman. A couple extra activations allows Lady Blackhawk to move in on Punisher and deal him 2 wounds. She falls quickly when he returns fire. The Reed/Sue duo runs strong for a while, finishing off Punisher and bringing Rogers to 4 wounds Their luck couldn't hold up forever though, and a bad defense roll KOs Reed with Sue going down just after.

R8T5: Commander Rogers with 4 wounds out of 5 Life.

Army Test 2

- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 100
- Give a brief overview.A larger map with a couple VDOs for her to use.
Map: Muspelheim Melee (with Sports Cars added outside the SZs)
Units: Lady Blackhawk (110), Ms. Marvel (350), Black Tarantula (300), And-Man (O'Grady, 60) (820) VS Hawkeye (II, 160), Red Arrow (150), Obsidian (280), US Agent (230) (820)

Unit Summary:
Damage: 3 wounds to Hawkeye.
Adept Operator: 1 extra spaces moved.

Spoiler Alert!

Blackhawk and Black Tarantula are made Avengers.

Lady Blackhawk was used early to drive her and Ms. Marvel to the top of the hill. She got 1 attack as she stepped out of the car and made full use of it, dealing 3 wounds to Hawkeye (3/4 skulls+1 automatic VS 1/5 shields) she died a round later after a wound from lava field, 1 from Hawkeye and 2 from Obsidian. That big hit kept Hawkeye from making a large impact on the battle, but he wasn't needed, as Obsidian nearly won this game for his side, he wasn't quite able to finish off Black Tarantula though, and Tarantula just went nuts afterward, tearing through Red Arrow and US Agent.

R8T4: Black Tarantula with 3/5 wounds and Ant-Man unused in the SZ.

Not a whole lot to say here, pretty simple but fairly fun. She'll be very glad to see more VDOs. I would drop her cost to at least 100 as, even in FanFour armies, there are other options at 100 points that I'd probably draft over her. One other tweak I would make is to add in something like this:

ADEPT OPERATOR
When moving a vehicle after revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may move that vehicle one additional space. When rolling the 20-sided die for a vehicle that Lady Blackhawk is occupying, you may add 2 to your roll.

Adept Operator just doesn't have a lot of 'pop' right now and I think this would help.

Thank you, TB! I like that addition to Adept Operator! I'd want to keep her at 110 if we added that though.

Everybody want to weigh in on the change?
