Dreadnought

[Lord Pyre]

Why not just do:

Underworld protection
Adjacent Maggia and Hydra allies have +1 defense.

It’s more useful and more like what we’d typically do? Save the obstruction stuff for more like terrain figures like the giant plants?

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, that's probably the right call

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: 1000 pts – Silvermane 240, Eel 170, Hammerhead 150, Maggia Goon x4 240, Dreadnought x2 200 VS 1000 points - 1000 pts – Luke Cage 190, Swordsman 160, Iron Fist 260, Tigra 170, Jessica Jones 220

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: Jessica Jones 2 wounds
Jessica Jones 2 wounds
Tigra 2 wounds – dead
Iron Fist 1 wound



Both teams moved toward the center. The Goons got some shots off early and took doing wounds to Iron Fist and Cage. After a few Goons went down the Dreadnoughts moved in and did some damage to Jessica Jones and Tigra. The Dreadnoughts had much more utility this game than in the first version. That had a reason to be activated.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Silvermane 4 wounds/2 life left, Eel full 4 life left

Army Test
Map: Cell Games Arena
Units: 1000 points – Red Skull 240, Crossbones 160, Baron Von Strucker 220, Hydra Agents 80, Dreadnought x3 300 VS 1000 points – Iron Man 270, Captain America 240, Hawkeye 220, Wolverine 270

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: Captain America 2 wounds
Wolverine 2 wounds
Wolverine 1 wound
Captain America 1 wound



Baron and the Agent went out fist and the Agents got dropped right away by a Cap Shield throw. The Dreadnoughts then moved forward and put some wounds on Cao and Wolverine. Wolverine One Shot a Dreadnought but the other 2 stood tall for a little while. They did tie down both Wolverine and Cap so Crossbones could get some shots in from range on then. He eventually took them both out. After that Iron Man went on a rampage and dropped the other two Dreadnoughts on one turn. After that Iron Man and Hawkeye were able to defeat Red Skull and Baron to end the game.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Hawkeye full 4 life left, Iron Man 2 wounds/2 life left

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I'm much happier with where these guys are now. They feel like they have more of a purpose/use in builds. The Tough power with the drop in defense to 4 seemed like it helped them to stick around just a tad longer without them being annoying. The defensive Buff they offer is nice but didn't come up as much as I thought it would. Also they can't give the bonus to each other as they aren't in a Faction and that's probably okay. I believe these guys are ready to go into Public Testing.

Bumping this, still need 2 more votes.

[Arch-vile]

yea

Would say "once per round" in the first ability.

I might reword this one, as-is it could be read as any adjacent Maggia, and any Hydra allies, get +1 Defense.

UNDERWORLD PROTECTION
Adjacent Maggia and Hydra allies have +1 defense.

It's a little lengthier to spell out that they both have to be adjacent allies, but makes the interpretation more airtight. (And Defense is capitalized.)

UNDERWORLD PROTECTION
Adjacent allies in the Maggia or Hydra faction have +1 Defense.
