The Book of Rogues Revolution

[IAmBatman]

I'm not sure there's any need to restrict it to Sanctum Testing unless you're just worried the public doesn't have enough access to Rogues?

I mean, they don't really. At least not the big ones. Also this is a brand new concept, so wasn't sure how open people were to just throwing it out there willy nilly.

[IAmBatman]

If it’s something we want to expand, it’d be useful to indoctrinate the public.

[Tornado]

Agreed.
Some of them have already tried out weird stuff like the Astral Plane and Space.
It is such a cool new bit of design space, I can see it getting people excited.

[LordVenoc]

Works for me.

Let's go to Public testing at 250

Archie, Tickle, and Bats, are there any of your Rogues you wouldn't want sent out with this/any you definitely want sent out/tried out?

[IAmBatman]

I mean, if the one or two testers who potentially grab this want a sneak peek at Blacksmith, by all means.

[tcglkn]

Yea, probably wouldn't send out WW II, the Glyphs are a lot and I don't think he's too important to test with this. I don't think I have any others On Deck.

[Arch-vile]

Feel free to send any of the Rogues you want tested. I’m no stickler about spoilers. Yea

[IAmBatman]

yea

[Tornado]

Yea

[LordVenoc]

This passes.

Wallace might be a good one to put out there, but other than that Max Mercury stands out as the only Speedster maybe worth giving a shot here, but I may just save him for a Sanctum tester.

Version Tested:

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = ROGUES REVOLUTION
REQUIREMENT = Speed Force or Superspeed Special Power
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE SCENARIO

SCENARIO CONDITIONS:
All Unique Heroes with the Speed Force or Superspeed Special Powers inyour army are considered Speedsters.
Opponent must have at least one Rogue in their army.

POINTS = 250

FLASH HEALING
At the end of the round, you may remove a wound marker from each unengaged Speedster you control.

RAPID ROTATION
Before moving with a Speedster you control you may choose an opponent’s adjacent figure, or two figures if one of them is a Rogue Hero and subtract 6 from your movement. Immediately place the chosen figures up to two spaces from their original placement. Placed figures will not take leaving engagement attacks but will take any falling damage that applies.

FLASH TIME
Once per round, after revealing a numbered Order Marker and before taking a turn with a figure you control, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on a Speedster you control to take an immediate turn with any Speedster you control.

Tested using this post as the SP was not updated, FYI.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Rogues Revolution Scenario

Army Test
Map: A Couple Puddles
Units: Rogues Revolution (250), Flash Barry, Kid Flash Wallace (640) VS Captain Cold II, Heat Wave, Weather Wizard I, Tar Pit, Pied Piper (640)

Spoiler Alert!

Flash uses a double turn early to burn Cold’s Flash Freeze then engage him and deal him 4 wounds, while the slower Kid Flash attacks the other, closer Rogues. Tar Pit locks down Kid Flash and Weather Wizard deals him 3 wounds (protecting Cold is an impossibility at this point). Despite that, Cold survives a Fist Fusillade, so Kid Flash uses Rapid Rotation to escape Tar Pit’s sticky body and deals Heat Wave a wound from height. Kid Flash heals one wound.

Weather Wizard takes out Kid Flash. Flash kills Cold then uses Flash time to wound Weather Wizard. The Rogues can’t do much to Flash while Flash takes out Weather Wizard. Flash uses rapid rotation to send Tar Pit flying then uses Flash Time to kill Heat Wave and heavily wound Pied Piper. Flash then takes out Piper and Tar Pit one after another, they struggled to keep OMs on them as Flash killed Rogues so quickly.


Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Flash (0 wounds) wins.

Army Test
Map: A Couple Puddles
Units: Rogues Revolution (250), Tornado Twins, Flash Jay (690) VS Blacksmith, Murmur, Plunder, Magenta, Weather Wizard I (690)

Spoiler Alert!

Plunder’s Bounty is Flash.

Flash and the Tornado Twins fail their initial attacks, though the Rogues don’t fare much better - Magenta’s lone throw wound on Flash is healed by Flash Healing. On round 2, Dawn has Don get the extra turn (so 3 total Tornado Twin turns) then they both go after Magenta, but Magenta throws Dawn. Plunder puts 3 wounds on Flash then Blacksmith puts a second wound on Dawn, who is out of Flash’s defense boosting aura. Magenta’s throw kills Dawn Allen, though Don finishes her off. Plunder takes out Flash. Plunder and Blacksmith then easily take out Don.


Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Blacksmith, Plunder, Weather Wizard, Murmur (all full life) win.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Fun stuff. I really loved how Rapid Rotation allowed speedsters to send Tar Pit flying, thus avoiding the drawback of Stuck. Flash Time was very powerful. Flash Healing gives the speedsters a little more survivability but speedsters ultimately live or die by their dodge. One win and one loss, so I think this is fairly balanced.
