C3G INITIAL PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Big Man

Version tested:

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = BIG MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = FREDERICK FOSWELL

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CRIME LORD
PERSONALITY = CONFIDENT

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 125 would be ideal

BIG MOVES
After revealing an Order Marker on the Army Card of a figure you control with The Enforcers special power and before taking a turn with any figures you control, you may immediately move Big Man and all figures you control with The Enforcers special power up to 3 spaces each. Figures will not take any leaving engagement attacks when moved with this special power.

MOBSTER CONTINGENCY PLAN
While Big Man is in play, when a Criminal or Enforcer you control is destroyed, you may immediately rearrange all unrevealed Order Markers on Army Cards in your army.

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt (1 random glyph in the Fortress)
Units: Big Man and the Enforcers (600) VS Spider-Man (Otto), Spider-Man (Assassin), Spider-Woman (Ashley) (600)

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: None

Big Moves: Man this was great for the Enforcers, they took advantage of it most turns. I'm gonna drop it down to 2 spaces though because it does make them feel very fast at the start of the game.

This game was the worst luck for Otto I've ever seen. Even regularly getting +3 to init while subtracting 3 with Ashley, the Spiders lost ever init to the Enforcers and just couldn't keep up with the turn efficiency.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Ox 3 wounds, Montana 1 wound, Big Man unwounded.

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt (1 random glyph in the Fortress)
Units: Big Man and the Enforcers (600) VS Cosmic Spider-Man and C3G Spider-Man (600)

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: None

Big Moves: Still felt great at 2 spaces, just enough movement to let Montana and Ox get unengaged for their powers and keep Fancy Dan engaged with only one figure.

Cosmic Spidey was a house in this matchup, he took out Ox in one turn, but Montana was able to tie him up with the Lasso and let Fancy Dan get a couple of wounds on him before Montana fell too. Fancy Dan finished off Cosmic only to immediately get Web Slingered by Spidey and die. Same happened to Big Man.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Spider-Man unwounded.

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt (1 random glyph in the Fortress)
Units: Big Man and the Enforcers (600) VS Spider-UK, Ghost-Spider and Spider-Man 2099 (600)

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: 2 wounds on Miguel

Big Moves: Felt great in this game too

Gwen and 2099 popped out of the time stream as soon as UK got into range and they took out Ox early. Dan and Montana were able to take out UK though and put Gwen to one life and put a couple wounds on Miguel before Dan and Montana fell. Which left Big Man to have to take on Miguel with 3 life and Gwen with one. He left them both with one life.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Gwen and Miguel with one life each.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Really like the ability to not have to stress about OM placement on the Enforcers. But the big (no pun intended) gain here is the free movement. It just works so well with their powerset. It still felt a little fast at the start of the game for the characters so I may go back up to 3 spaces and just only have it trigger if an Enforcer is engaged. Thoughts on that front? Happy with the overall cost though, they make a fun and relatively competitive 600 point squad.

[tcglkn]

Any thoughts on Big Moves letting them move 2 spaces or only triggering when at least one Enforcer is engaged but letting them move 3 spaces? I think I have a slight preference for the latter.

[Lord Pyre]

If you think that the engagement clause would still feel good on them, I'm fine with it. I think I wouldn't really be able to answer it without feeling it out hands-on, so I'm happy with what you think, having played him.

Real excited for this guy. Love this mini-faction. I think we need a Ditko Goblin and something else from that era to make a fully cohesive 1000 point army

[tcglkn]

Happy with them as a 600 point squad, they're fun. I went with the engaged requirement so it only helps them maneuver around enemies when the fighting starts.

I propose we move to public playtesting here (after Recruits)
