Yeah I'd probably just sent them together. Did you not test them together?

No I ran them separately so they'd both have independent initials in case people wanted to slow roll them.

Anyway, I'm going to propose sending them to Public Playtesting together as a unit.

Yea, looking good here.

Alrighty, I think the synergy section is up to date now which should make testing him easier.

If Archie doesn't test him now, it's just because he doesn't like you.

Had a question about the “move at least four spaces if able” part. Is there ever a situation where figures should be using that to move more than four spaces? I played it as a static move of four, but the “at least” struck me as confusing.

Units: Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch (Johnny), Crystal (900) vs Judge Cal (125), Deputy Fish (25), Deadpool (285), Domino (225), Silver Samurai (240) (900)

The whole Fantastic Four advance.

Judge Cal rolls a 9 after a Fish reroll and moves Deadpool out of Silver Samurai’s attack range and moves up Domino, then heals a wound (after moving his “X” to Fish), and attacks Mister Fantastic, who fully whiffs to take one wound.

Round 2: Initiative Living Lawyers. Deadpool engages Invisbile Woman and hits her for two wounds, then heals.
Human Torch takes a swipe but Flames On Deadpool for two wounds, then punches him for another. Mister Fantastic Stretch Walks over, but can’t finish Deadpool.
Deadpool hits Invisible Woman for two wounds and heals one of his own.

Unit Summary: Some defensive gaffs by the Fan Four made this look closer than it was. On the initial try, Judge Cal was tough to use without (literally) shooting yourself in the foot. I’ll try to be a lot more careful with placement in the second game and see if he can be worth more of a positive. His impact on this game was probably negative points.

Round 6: Initiative Living Law. Judge Dredd KO’s Atom and then Doctor Fate with Incendiary Rounds.

Unit Summary: Felt kind of like the Mercenaries won despite Judge Cal here (and Fish was basically just a DO once Cal fell). I managed to keep him more separate from his team this time and arrange factors so his team didn’t have to hurt themselves. They didn’t do terribly much on his Order Markers but he got in one auto-wound against the enemy, so that’s something.
Doctor Fate felt pretty cool as a Mystery Man, getting the bonus from Flash and activates from Hawkman. Even though his Helmet of Nabu and Teleportation Spells weren’t ideal fits with this exact team, he was fun to run with these synergies and enjoyable, but hardly busted.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Judge Cal inflicted (0) wounds.
• THE LIVING LAW: Rolled (1-10) (2) times, (11-20) (2) times, (odd number) (2) times, (even number) (2) times and inflicted (1) wound on (Doctor Fate (1))
• MOST TRUSTED OF ALL ADVISERS: (Judge Cal) chosen as companion, D20 roll rerolled (1) times
• SEEK THE MOST WISE COUNSEL: Activated (1) times
• GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: Removed (0) Order Markers

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Judge Dredd with 1/5 Life, Silver Samurai with 1/5 Life, and Judge Fish win.

Yeah it's supposed to just be static 4 spaces. The 'at least' is just an errant bit of text.

Thanks for the tests,
