[IAmBatman]

Awesome.

[Griffin]

OK, I didn't get to it last night, I will tonight for sure, along with one of the current playtest units that is standing still.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. I'm working on Skrull Warriors and Battlements right now!

- Army Test
Map: Grundy's Grave (I PLAYED THIS WITH KNOCKBACK AND THE NEW LAVA RULES, BY REPLACING THE WATER TILES FOR LAVA TILES)
Units: Moleman, Moloids x8, Magneto, and Toad VS Hulk and Iron Man

Spoiler Alert!

- Hulk leaps up.
- Moleman uses his Tunnel Surprise and brings 4 Moloids with him. Then he moves closer and attacks Iron Man from height and gives him a wound.
- Iron Man moves up and kills 2 Moloids.
- Moleman attacks Iron Man and misses, Then the Moloids advance and attack Iron Man and sneak one wound on him.
- Iron Man kills 2 Moloids.
- Moleman puts a wound on Iron Man. Then the 4 remaining Moloids advance.

- Iron Man kills 2 Moloids.
- Moleman kills Iron Man, then one Moloid engages Hulk while the other one stays on a hill in the back.
- Hulk advances and kills a Moloid.
- Moleman attacks Hulk and fails, then the last Moloid engages and attacks and fails.
- Hulk safely disengages from the Moloid in hopes of smashing Moleman into the lava, and Moleman takes a wound from the attack, and is Knocked Back 2 spaces (just 1 space shy of Hot Lava Death)
- Moleman moves up in a way that he cannot be knocked into lava and then he puts 3 wounds on Hulk, then the last Moloid puts one wound on Hulk!!!

- Magneto drops his bubble shield and advances and fails his attempt to throw Hulk, then he Throws him in lava, gives him a wound with Throwing damage, and then Hulk Miraculously survives by rolling a 20!!!!
- Fully enraged Hulk punches Magneto for 5 skulls, Magneto blocks 2 from height, takes 3 wounds from the attack, and is pined to a tree and takes his final wound from Knock Back Damage.
- Magneto loses a turn.
- Hulk kills the last Moloid.
- Moloid loses a turn.
- Hulk hits Moleman for 9 skulls!!! Moleman avoids the attack with his Subteranean Scenes.

- Moleman disengages, takes a wound, then from height puts 2 wounds on Hulk. (Hulk is now one away from death)
- Hulk kills Moleman.
- Moleman loses a turn.
- Hulk leaps on height above Toad and punches him and even with 3 less attack dice, rolls 6 skulls and kills Toad.

Hulk wins with 7 wounds. Very close game.

The rules were a nice touch as Lava would clearly be less dangerous to our precious heroes, but the one time a figure did get thrown in (Magneto threw Hulk), Hulk actually rolled a 20!!! However, When Hulk went to return the favor to Magneto, I realized that Magneto and all figures with the flying special power, now have Lava Resistence basically because they are immune to molten lava. FAIL! If a figure like Superman could take falling damage from extreme height, throwing damage, falling damage from Knockback, etc... why are they perceived as flying above the lava? If Magneto or Jean slams Superman into the ground and Superman can take damage from hitting the ground, wouldn't he also be hitting the molten lava if that was the space he was thrown on. I don't like the fact that figures with flying basically have Molten Lava resistance at all. If that line were to go, I could easily support this rule, but not until then.

[IAmBatman]

Wtf? How did that get in there? I could've sworn I copied the text directly from the lava book for everything but the die rolls and I have no conscious memory of putting that immunity in (which I in know way support now or ever). It's changed now. That's really, really weird.

[IAmBatman]

Anyway, with that fix, I propose we move these rules to the Final Editing Phase.

Weird. All I can say is that I definitely didn't do it. Yea

[SirGalahad]

When I asked back in post 9 if that was what you meant, you said no, but liked the other wording changes. I think you must have just made that change also when you were improving the other wording.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I think that's what happened ... I just copied your text for the other improvements and took the flying stuff with it ...
Anyway, it's where it should be now! And I'm proposing we move it forward.
