The Book of Hannibal King

[IAmBatman]

Claw Carry doesn't work. Nightstalkers Blade wants to at least be positioned well for Stake Execution.

[Tornado]

Cool. Thanks.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, read through a bunch, but not finding any passive moving type stuff that doesn't require a normal move. Like Avengers Hulk can do stuff, but instead of moving normally, for instance.

[Karat]

Could also help you keep Multiple Men close to your Investigators for bonding purposes (when paired with Madrox).

I forgot about them during the initial, but the build with Occult Batman was the most cohesive of the armies I ran.

Cool

R7: Chimp finds OMX. Wendigo misses. Cap KOs Wendigo.

Wow, Blade made mincemeat out of Frank. Should have lead with Wendigo to take out Blade first. CapWolf failed his first 5-6 rolls to go on to make his last 5-6. CapWolf and Chimp was a nice combo especially when he found the 2 to allow Cap to double turn and double heal.

Hannibal was pretty effective. You have to set things up to get the Rat Information Network going but that was really nice for moving Hannibal to high ground, CapWolf to where he could defend(though he failed every roll to help another) and Blade to set up Stake Execution or to flee afterward. Two terrible dice rolls sealed his fate.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): CapWolf(3/5wounds), Chimp(Full) and Rats(6 of 11 left).

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Pretty good. Could maybe drop some points. He has some interesting powers and synergy webs that can be expanded on in the future.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I used way too many Rat Swarms. 3-5 is plenty unless you are adding Vermin into the mix. I really enjoyed the combo with Chimp and CapWolf, they both could help out with static powers and Rat Information Network is great for getting everyone into position. Blade was the workhouse and things start to unravel once he goes down.

[Karat]

Thanks for the tests! Looking good so far and your experience matches my own. Glad you seemed to enjoy what he is bringing to the table!

[Tornado]

I was going to go with either a Multiple Man and Judge Mortis build or an Occult Batman build for the second game but I enjoyed that team enough that I wanted to play them again.
Chimp is pretty nice for adding static boosts.

[Karat]

He is. It does look like a good one and not one I would have generally thought of so it's definitely cool to see

[Tornado]

Could probably go with 3 rats and add in Angel.
He could really help to keep the rats in position.

[Karat]

Maybe, the only problem there is keeping them safe for long enough to get to us RIN. Though Angel could move them around after one of them is attacked. They're just a pretty squishy target in general. Seemed to me like 4-6 was the optimal amount if you don't have Vermin.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Angel cant do anything for Rats as they be tiny.
