This passes.

Is it intentional that you can place a friendly tiny figure, that may be across the map, onto the glyph?

[tcglkn]

No it's meant to be adjacent. Same with the water, must have gotten lost in an edit at some point.

Tidied up the wording a hair. Removed the "if there are no figures or water tiles on this card" clause cause I never had it come up that I really even wanted to use this Glyph much less scoop up multiple water tiles.

Unit Summary: Gleek was a decent addition to the Wonder Twins here, running interference, but he brought nothing on offense and little staying power, so he certainly didn’t give them that much value. So far, I even think his attack could go up to 3 and his points would still be fine.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (0) wounds.
• WONDER TWIN COMPANION: Choose (Wonder Twins). Took (5) turns.
• DARING DECOY: Temporarily useful.
• WATER BUCKET: Unused.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Nightwing with 3/4 Life wins.

Looks on track to me.

Yep. Nightwing whiffed all his defense in that second match so probably should’ve been closer.

Army Test
Map : Dark Dimension (No Glyphs)
Units :
Gleek (50), Wonder Twins (150), Hawkgirl (225), Hawkman (225)
= 700

VS.

Rocket Raccoon II (205), Groot (275) Venom *Rocket Raccoon* (210) Beast Boy *Cheetah* (20)
= 700

Spoiler Alert!

Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview : The fire power from the Rockets and Groot’s durability should be tough to handle. I think the hawks will have to handle Groot, while the Twins and Gleek work on the Rockets.

Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Used 2 times, 1 wound to Venom.
Wonder Twin Companion : Used everytime after a Twin turn to reposition.
Water Bucket : Carried Zan forward in the early game.
Daring Decoy : Forced Venom to attack him, buying Jayna some time. Probably his biggest asset.

Gleek chooses the Twins for his Companions.

ROUND 1 : Red Team initiative.
Early game movement. Groot and the Rockets take control of the center height.

ROUND 2 : Red Team initiative.
A few wounds are dealt to Rocket and Hawkgirl in the early goings of this round. The Twins and Gleek move up, Zan fails to wound anyone with his Ice Missiles and Venom responds with a Symbiote Salvo, dealing a wound to Gleek and Jayna. Blue Team focuses their damage on Hawkgirl, dealing 4 wounds to her this round. Rocket is nearly dead with 3 himself.

ROUND 3 : Blue Team initiative.
Venom disengages and takes a wound from Gleek. With 1 Scrap marker, he attacks Hawkgirl but she lives. Hawkgirl flies out, and crushes Rocket with a 7 attack roll. Groot immediately retaliates and takes out Hawkgirl. Hawkman and the Wonder Twin crew move up, Gleek deals 1 wound to Venom.

ROUND 4 : Red Team initiative.
Hawkman drops two attacks of 8 on Groot, but he weathers the storm and only takes 2 wounds. For the rest of the round its essentially Groot vs. Hawkman/Venom vs. Wonder Twins + Gleek. The heavy hitters trade, Groot takes 3 wounds (heals 1) and Hawkman takes 2. Venom deals 4 wounds to Gleek and kills him in one attack, then deals 4 wounds to Jayna.

ROUND 5 : Blue Team initiative.
Round starts with Groot and Hawkman continuing to fight, both nearly killing each other. Venom scurries away from the Wonder Twins, and fires at Hawkman for the kill.

ROUND 6 : Red Team initiative.
Jayna carries her brother into the fight, and the Twins clash with Groot. It ends with Jayna dead, and Zan heavily wounded.

ROUND 7 : Blue Team initiative.
Groot delivers a mighty swing, and takes Zan out. Blue Team wins!

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Groot 3/7 Life, Venom 3/6 Life, Beast Boy Cheetah 1/1 Life

Post-Game Thoughts : This was looking pretty good for the red team at first, but they couldn’t finish off Venom and Groot. Groot’s resilience was the real winner for his team here, Hawkman couldn’t take him out even after being buffed by Hawkgirl’s death. Gleek did his job here, he carried Zan up and used Daring Decoy to force Venom into attacking him..

Army Test
Map : Dark Dimension (No Glyphs)
Units :
Gleek (50), Wonder Twins (150), Wonder Woman III (310), Batman III (250), Sif (230)
= 990

VS.

Big Barda (320), Mr. Miracle (280), Superman I (400)
= 1000

Spoiler Alert!

Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview : I’ve got pretty high expectations here for red team, I think it looks good. As soon as anyone dies, Sif takes their OM’s and is throwing two attacks.

Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Used 0 times.
Wonder Twin Companion : Used whenever a twin took a turn.
Water Bucket : Carried Zan forward in the early game.
Daring Decoy : Forced Mister Miracle to attack him before he could get to the Twins.

ROUND 1 : Red Team initiative. Sif teleports forward 5 spaces with Batman.
Primarily movement. Superman flies over to Bats and punches him, but Bats matches his skulls.

ROUND 2 : Blue Team initiative. Sif teleports forward.
WW moves up and delivers a wound to Superman. Not much else happens this turn, although Supes deals 2 wounds to WW.

ROUND 3 : Blue Team initiative. Sif teleports back. WW activates Ambassador of Justice.
Barda and Miracle move up on Bats and WW, Barda deals 1 wound to Bats. Big assault from Bats deals 4 wounds to Miracle. Miracle breaks off from Bats to go after the Twins, an attack of 3 one shots Gleek. A big attack from Barda takes out Bats. Supes deals some wounds to WW, and Sif does the same to Barda.

Sif takes a lava wound.

ROUND 4 : Blue Team initiative. WW activates Ambassador of Justice. Sif teleports to center with WW.
The fighting starts fast this round. Barda/Miracle chase WW and Sif onto the center height. WW goes down in Blue T2, and Sif takes her OMs. Sif retaliates and deals 4 wounds to Barda, taking her out. Superman swoops in and kills Jayna in one attack. Sif finishes the round dealing 3 wounds to Superman.

ROUND 5 : Red Team initiative.
Superman and Sif spend the round brawling. Superman comes out on top, but Sif dealt a few wounds to him. Zan is the last one alive on the red team.

ROUND 6 : Blue Team initiative.
Zan tries his best, but Superman rolls over him fairly easily. Blue Team wins!

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mister Miracle 1/5 Life, Superman 2/7 Life

Post-Game Thoughts : Blue Team had some solid durability. Miracle and Superman are fairly tough to dislodge, and Barda deals some serious damage. I think I should have sent the Wonder Twins up as cannon fodder in the early game, to activate Sif’s powers and let her do some fighting, and then pull her out.

Thoughts on the Tested Unit's Cost, Balance, and Draftability : He feels fine. He didn’t do a ton in either game, but he’s a 50 point unit. Having Daring Decoy at the low price feels like it’ll make taking him with the Twins pretty worth it most of the time. He won’t see use without them and maaaaaybe a Companions build, but that's no surprise.

General Thoughts on the Tested Unit : 3 Life/4 Defense is fairly solid for 50 points, especially when paired with Daring Decoy. Most games he’s going to carry Zan forward, and then you’re just gonna throw Gleek at an enemy you want him to slow down for a turn or two. Having 3 activations with the Twins (Even if none of those are particularly great by themselves) kind of makes them a team within the bigger picture, which I think is a fun dynamic. It was two losses, but realistically, Gleek wasn't doing much to change either of those. That and Twins are fairly complex, so i probably didn't play them super well!

Thanks for the tests!
