Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
A side by side comparison with Superman II could be instructive here.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
It might be tough to get a direct comparison. They’re pretty different units in that they share just 1 power and have totally different power sets.
Totally possible I misplayed that game. Like I said, I think it’s worth about a grain of salt - I could’ve totally misread the units. As the F4, I was definitely trying to go after Kal first. Not only is the bonding not ending if Superboy is destroyed (Superman bonding + GA bonding), but I found that defense boost from Hope In Action to be pretty nasty. Maybe going after Suoerboy would’ve been the best move though. |

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
You only get one bonding per round with each, so killing Superboy would slow the bonding down for sure.
Good to know about Hope in Action feeling strong. Can definitely try and dial that back early. |

_____________________________________________________________ GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: The feel of how they play is great, its just obviously too strong. Not looking to see him go up in cost, but I do think we’re somewhere in the ballpark. I’m thinking on some possible tweaks before going forward anymore (whether its more initial testing or headed to Sanctum testing). The family plays together great, but the amount of momentum they can get off an initiative win (especially if you have Supergirl with him) is real real high. |

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
Just lead into the dominance. Bump him to 530 and make him even better. He'll still fit the same armies, just at 100 points higher.

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Quest for Breathing)
Thinking something like this to maybe echo Heroic Duty a bit and more mirror Kon than Kara.

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
Meh. Feels like you should just give him Heroic Duty then.
I liked how the other one represents him inspiring hope. This feels like a third version of “Superman swoops in and saves you.” Like, that’s obviously totally a thing he does, I was just enjoying the exploration of a different role.

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
The inspiration thing is also on Superman III, so no not really new. He's still as tough to kill as some earlier Supermen, his allies just work together really well.
Edit: Part of me does think just cutting the range on Hope in Action and the binding may already do a lot. 6 is pretty far, and there were several times if it was like 4 or 5 spaces that it wouldn't have worked. |

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
It's a different brand of inspiration, though. This take on inspiration feels pretty different from that take on inspiration, whereas the suggested take on heroic rescuing feels very similar to Heroic Duty, IMO.
Anyway, it's your LD. Just saying, I find that iteration of Hope in Action much less interesting. I guess it's a lot more action, though, which fits the title. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
I do agree that I liked the old one better, just spitballing ways to manage costs here. Thinking of proposing with the reduced range and start adapting as other testers get hands on. I like how it plays a lot! It's just a tough army (and one I'll likely test with a lot if my hoped for 1000 points is accomplished).

Re: The Book of Superman IV (Initial Testing)
How much would you playtest with it if it were 1100 points?
