The Book of Crimson Dynamo

[johnny139]

By the way, a few Class suggestions if we're still on that (not a huge fan of Student personally): Marauder, Thief, Rebel, Interloper

And Personalities (I prefer reuse to innovation): Brash, Reckless, Daring, Greedy, Devious, Opportunistic, Rebellious

I'm happy with it otherwise.

I'm fine with any of those, though probably not Thief, as aside from "stealing" the armor somehow, I don't know that he would otherwise be considered a Thief like our other Thieves.

Well, it said he was expelled from school for stealing batteries, so he's sort of a klepto. I can see why we'd want to avoid synergies there (same may be true of Interloper).

[Hahma]

Yeah, no need to create synergies that don't belong for this guy


Anyone else have any comments on Johnny's ideas for Class/Personality, or are we fine with what we have (Student/Careless)

[quozl]

I like Careless Student.

[IAmBatman]

I'm OK with that. And also OK with Opportunistic Rebel.

I'm fine with both of these, or a combination: Opportunistic Student.

Sounds like a nice combination. Will make that change.



I also slightly changed the special attack so that it could affect DO's and his second attack with it is "may" instead of "must". I don't think the "must" is necessary and didn't want him to have to attack friendlies. No reason for that IMO.

ELECTRICAL BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4 and 3.
Choose a figure to attack. You may also choose one other figure within 2 clear sight spaces of the targeted figure to be affected by this special attack. Roll 4 attack dice once for all figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Figures with the Electrically Charged special power are not affected by Electrical Blast Special Attack. After attacking with this special attack, Crimson Dynamo may attack 1 additional time, rolling 1 fewer attack die for the subsequent attack.

Spoiler Alert!

TEST 1
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units:Crimson Dynamo vs. Tigra (170)
Tigra wins with 2 wounds on T3R2/ She's able to leap onto roof with CD and when she gets wounded, multiple attacks of 5 are better than what CD has to offer.

TEST 2
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Tigra (170)
Tigra wins with 0 wounds on T4R2/ .CD just rolled terrible all the way around in this match.

TEST 3
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Huntress (170)
Huntress wins with 3 wounds on T6R1/ . CD got height on the rooftop, but Huntress was able to get within 2 spaces and her double crossbow attack of 5 was too much for CD even with his height advantage.

TEST 4
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Huntress (170)
Huntress wins with 3 wounds on T2R2/ Another close one, but again, her double attack is better than his double attack and he doesn't want to engage her to use normal attack of 5 for fear of RCS.

TEST 5
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Shocker (160)
Crimson Dynamo wins with 1 wound on T1R2/.. Height advantage helped against Shockers attacks of 4.

TEST 6
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Shocker (160)
Shocker wins with 0 wounds on T5R1/ Shocker hit him for a 3 wounds while CD was on the ground and then finished him off on his next turn with CD on the roof. CD rolled very poor..

TEST 7
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Plastic Man (145)
Plastic Man wins with 0 wounds on T4R3/ This one lasted a bit as Plastic Man doesn't have a great attack, but his defense and poor attacks by CD dragged this one out..

TEST 8
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Plastic Man (145)
Crimson Dynamo wins with 0 wounds on T4R1/ CD put one Rocket wound on PM early and then was able to get an adjacent attack with height to get a huge 5 skull attack vs. 1 shield for PM that ended the match.

TEST 9
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Electro (135)
Crimson Dynamo wins with 2 wounds on T1R2/ Getting initiative helped CD. He had to use Rockets vs. Electro since Electric Blasts wouldn't work vs. Electro and CD didn't want to risk wounds from Electric Skin. But multiple attacks with the rockets are able to chip away at a lower defense and no special defense figure like Electro...

TEST 10
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Crimson Dynamo vs. Electro (135)
Crimson Dynamo wins with 0 wounds on T5R1/ Good rocket attacks and poor dice for Electro.

Squad Test

Spoiler Alert!

Who won and how many wounds did they have? 3 of 6 Agents live to win on T6R1.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No?.YES
- What should be the unit's point value? .160
- Give a brief overview.. . Crimson Dynamo did really good vs. the Skrull Warriors, though he benefited from the OM flex offered by Commander Rogers.

Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: . Crimson Dynamo (150) Commander Rogers (250) Diamondback (160) and Falcon (140) for 700 points vs. Super Skrull Kl'Rt (340) Skrull Warrios x 3 (330) and Skrull Infiltrators x 3 (30) for 700 points.

Spoiler Alert!

Skrull Warriors were getting OM's 1 and 2 for the first 3 rounds and did lots of damage. They put 3 wounds on Diamondback and 2 wounds on Commander Rogers. They took out Crimson Dynamo with a 4/0 attack when CD had 0 previous wounds. But the OM flex that Rogers provided allowed Crimson Dynamo to be the main offensive threat vs. the Skrull Warriors and Infiltrators. Crimson Dynamo took out 3 Skrull Warriors and 2 Infiltrators with Electric Blast and 1 Skrull Warrior with Rockets.


Diamondback had 2 turns early on, but rolled terrible attacks and did no damage. Falcon didn't do much but run interference between Super Skrull and Rogers, but that bought the 2 wound Rogers some time to attack Super Skrull later. Rogers took out 1 Skrull Warrior with his Photonic Shield. He put all 4 wounds on Super Skrull, 1 with his Photonic Shield, but he took 1 wound from SS's Rock Wall Bounce Back, and final wounds from SS's normal attack.
.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Super Skrull with 4 wounds, 1 Skrull Warrior and 1 Skrull Infiltrator win on T1R5.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? .YES
What should be the unit's point value? .140
Give a brief overview. . Crimson Dynamo was kept back as the opponent's had some hard hitting femme fatale heroes. He could have done well vs. Spider-Woman, but she stayed back after early 3 wounds from Hydro-Man. So Titanium Man and Wonder Man did the bulk of the fighting after Hydro-Man did so well early on, but once She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel were in close together near Zemo's SZ, their tag teaming was nasty. Once Zemo got killed to lose his team OM's 2 and 3 in round 5, it was all down hill for his army. Crimson Dynamo didn't have much offensive firepower vs. the likes of She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel.

Map: .X-Marks The Spot
Units: .Crimson Dynamo (150) Baron Zemo (170) Wonder Man (350) Titanium Man (240) and Hydro-Man (190) for 1,100 points vs. Ms. Marvel (350) She-Hulk (310) Hawkgirl (225) and Spider-Woman (210) for 1,095 points.

Spoiler Alert!

She-Hulk and Hawkgirl had Avenger Markers.

Hydro-Man led out early, placing water tiles and then did 3 wounds to both Ms. Marvel and Spider-Woman with his Tidal Wave attack of 3 skulls and both opponents whiffed defense. Spider-Woman and Ms. Marvel got Hydro-Man up to 4 wounds on their separate turns, and then MM had Hawkgirl Swoop down and finish Hydro-Man off.


Titanium Man was able to kill Hawkgirl after she gave him 1 wound. But then MM put 2nd wound on Titanium Man and She-Hulk finished him off. Zemo burned his X early in the round to allow Titanium Man to not get attacked by She-Hulk and allowing Wonder Man to get 1 more wound on a 4 wound She-Hulk (Wonder Man was hoping to finish her off). Ms. Marvel moved and attacked with height vs. Zemo and killed him with a 7/1 attack! All skulls baby! So Zemo's team lost OM's 2 and 3 that round, which allowed She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel to pile on some wounds on Wonder Man.


Crimson Dynamo only rolled 1 skull for his first Electric Blast attack vs. MM and SH that was blocked and his 3 die roll for the second attack that turn was a whiff. Wonder Man got MM to her 4th wound and gave SH a wound here and there, but she kept healing 1 off each round. After Wonder Man got killed, Crimson Dynamo managed to put 1 wound on She-Hulk, but then She-Hulk hit him for 2 wounds, followed up by final 2 wounds from Ms. Marvel.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Ms. Marvel with 4 wounds, She-Hulk with 5 wounds and Spider-Woman with 3 wounds survive to win on T2R7.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, 150 looks like it's probably the best for playtesting. Nice job knocking this one out, Hambone! We're gonna miss you for sure, buddy.

Pre-yea to Playtesting!
