The Book of Giganto (The Mole Monster)

[IAmBatman]

When in doubt, you could just go with "them."

[Splash]

Them is good, but I think in this circumstance considering most big monsters ripping up Times Square would get relegated to he if not it, and we have that 90s comic more or less confirming, using she may be the best bet.

I'm fine with what people think is best. I went with it, but happy to switch to she.

[Splash]

Moloids have it on their cards, could go with it.

GIGANTIC AMBUSH
Once per game after revealing an Order Marker on this card, instead of moving, you may place Giganto on any non-water spaces that Giganto could end her movement on that are within 6 spaces of a Human Ruler that you control. If there are figures on those spaces, you may first move those figures 2 spaces each, ignoring leaving engagement attacks. Place Giganto on the chosen spaces and roll 2 unblockable attack dice against each figure adjacent to Giganto.

Giganto may add 2 to her range when attacking a figure whose base is no more than 10 levels higher than her height or 10 levels lower than her base. Giganto may attack non-adjacent figures when she is engaged, unless it is adjacent to an opponent's huge figure.

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: R2T3 Mr Fantastic 1 wound
R3T1 Mr Fantastic 2 wounds
R3T2 Mr Fantastic 1 wound



In Service of the Master: Used everytime when Dr Doom took a turn.

Tunneling: Did not get to use because he got looked down by Mr Fantastic early

Gigantic Smash: Used once to attack Human Torch but missed.

Bad stuff happens when the thing starts rolling 2 attacks of 10. Giganto and Doom started of fine putting wounds on Mr Fantastic and Invisisble Woman early in the fight. Dr Doom was able to power drain Invisible Woman and help protect Giganto. But that is also when the trouble started, Mr Fantastic was able to avoid taking a final wound from iganto and that lead to a powered up Thing. Hit het Giganto with 7 and 9 skull rolls taking the Mole Monster out. Doom then dropped Invisible Woman on his turn. Thing was able to avoid a Doom Pit Trap and pummeled Doom with 2 more attacks of 10. Doom missed the Doombot roll and the Fantastic Four finished off the Bots pretty quickly.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mr Fantastic 4 wounds/1 life left, Thing 1 wound/5 life left, Human Torch full 5 life, Energizer 1 wound/2 life left

Army Test
Map: Custom Map – Sokovian Aftermath
Units: 800 pts – Mole Man, Giganto, Moloids x14, Electra VS 800 pts – Luke Cage, Moon Knight 150, Daredevil 200, Iron Fist

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: R3T2 Luke Cage 1 wound
R4T1 Daredevil 1 wound
R4T3 Daredevil 1 wound(ignored)

In Service of the Master: Used often with Mole Man. A little trickier because you also want to take advantage of the Moloids before they go down.

Tunneling: Very hard map to use it on.

Gigantic Smash: Used most of the time with all the Moloids on the map.

Crime Fighters outlast Mole Man and co. Moloids did their best to swarm Luke Cage and eventually took him down. Giganto rolled awful the entire game, only having 1 attack where he rolled over 2 skulls. Also rolled poorly on defense and went down quickly once Daredevil started attacking him. Moloids also rolled bad never activating more than 5 at a time.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Moon Knight 1 wound/4 life left

Dropped points to 350 based on under performance.

Army Test
Map: Turtle Training Dojo
Units: 700 pts – Mole Man, Giganto 350, Moloids x10, Stilt Man VS 700 pts – Captain Cold, Abra Kadabra, Plunder, Rainbow Raider, Weather Wizard

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: R2T1 Plunder 2 wounds – Ambush
R2T1 Weather Wizard 1 wound – Ambush
R2T1 Plunder 2 wounds – Normal Attack
R2T2 Weather Wizard 1 wound – dead
R3T1 Captain Cold 2 wounds
R3T2 Captain Cold 3 wounds – dead


In Service of the Master: Used with Mole Man every chance.

Tunneling: Used and did wounds to Plunder and Weather Wizard.

Gigantic Smash: [COLOR=blue]Used often to hit Captain Cold and Weather Wizard.

Plunder picks Mole Man.
Mole Monsters Ambush was the difference in the game. She popped up next to Plunder and Weather Wizard doing wounds to each then attacking and killing Plunder, The game swung pretty quickly at that point. Mole Man one shot Rainbow Raider right before the Ambush. Giganto took out Weather Wizard and Captain Cold a few turns later and the game was pretty much over.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Giganto full 7 life left, Stilt-Man 4 wounds/1 life left, Moliods x6 left

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Giganto is a fun figure to use along with a Human Ruler. She feels like a giant Mole Monster with her stats and powers. The Ambush power really has the ability to swing a game if it hits with a few of the auto wounds. The 3 spaced base does make movement challenging on some maps. The Gigantic Smash range really helps getting around some of the base size limitations. I like that she can pair well with Mole Man and the Moloids to bring them back to usefulness. Doom might be the better pairing but I found Mole Man more fun.

Giganto is too big for Mister Fantastic to rubber wrap.
