PASS

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 180-190?
- Give a brief overview. Ozymandias wasn’t incredible in this test. He managed to put 1 Wound on Superman, and he was able to use Smartest Man in the World once, but other than that he didn’t get to do much.
Map: Swamp Labyrinth
Units: Ozymandias, Captain Marvel (Billy Batson), Billy Batson, 4x Civilians (800) vs. Superman II, Batman (Bruce Wayne) II, Robin (Dick Grayson) (800)

Spoiler Alert!

The Civilians acted as shields, engaging Bats and Supes and rolling little attacks against them. Bats and Robin were taken down, leaving only Supes who easily destroyed the rest of the Civilians without taking a single wound, then destroyed Ozymandias and Captain Marvel/Billy Batson.
Who won and how many wounds did they have?
Superman: 5/8 Wounds

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 180-190
- Give a brief overview. Ozy was more useful in this test, taking down several thugs and helping take down Luthor. Smartest Man in the World was also used twice, but I still feel a point drop could definitely be used.
Map: Swamp Labyrinth
Units: Ozymandias, Nite-Owl, Comedian (490) vs. 3x Street Thugs, 3x Bodyguard, Lex Luthor, Two-Face (500)

Spoiler Alert!

The criminals swarmed towards the Watchmen, most of them being destroyed by Comedian while Ozy stood back, staying away from most of the action until necessary so as to keep Smartest Man in the World going. Eventually the criminals overran them, but it was fairly close at times.
Who won and how many wounds did they have?
Street Thugs: 9/12 Destroyed
Two-Face: 3/4 Wounds

[Lord Pyre]

Maybe we should change it so it hits more often, like Joker?




SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD
Ozymandias may never have Order Markers removed from his card by an opponent. Once per round, before rolling for initiative, if you have at least two Order Markers on this card, you may remove an “X” Order Marker from this card. If you do, you may remove an Order Marker at random from any one opponents’ Army Card, and place that Order Marker on any army card you control. If it is a numbered Order Marker, you may reveal it normally on your turn, and then reveal and remove your other Order Marker of the same number.

Basically it nixes the die roll, and requires him to have another OM on his card. Think that might work out better?

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I like that. I think that's enough of a trade off to get a freebie. That type of reliability should raise his cost, though, IMO.

[Lord Pyre]

I really don't care where his cost is, I could see him anywhere from 160-230ish and I'd be fine.

Should I send the new wording to the testers, or is it a significant enough change that I should redo the initial?

[IAmBatman]

Cool. I dunno, I think if we get three or so more testers, we should be in good shape. That power mostly affects army tests anyway.

[Lord Pyre]

I'll let them know.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. By 3 or more tests, btw, I mean including people already signed up of course.
