Object Bio - Temperate evergreen forests are common in the coastal areas of regions that have mild winters and heavy rainfall, or inland in drier climates or mountain areas. Structurally, these forests are rather simple. They support an herbaceous understory that is generally dominated by grasses and herbaceous perennials, and are often subject to ecologically important wildfires.

GREAT EVERGREEN TREE

LIFE- 3
DEFENSE- 7

GREAT FALLING TREE
If this Great Evergreen Tree is destroyed at any point during your turn, before removing it from the Battlefield you must choose 3 spaces in a straight line from one of the spaces this Great Evergreen Tree occupies. All figures on these spaces and all adjacent spaces, whose bases are not higher than the height of this tree, receive one wound. Huge figures are not affected.

[Griffin]

Awesome. I was gonna ask you to do this. You even linked the playtest.

[Griffin]

Done with the initial playtest.

Good job, GP.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? N/A
- Give a brief overview. Tested two Ice Mountains, two Ice Glaciers, two Ice Hills, four Ice Rocks, two Great Evergreen Trees, and eight Evergreen Trees for a crowded map!
Map: Custom
Units: Professor X, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Jean Grey (1,000) vs. Magneto II, Destiny, Toad, Avalanche, Mystique (1,000)
[spoiler]One Ice Mountain, one Great Evergreen Tree, three Evergreen Trees, and two Ice Rocks were destroyed, and one Ice Glacier had three wounds, one Ice Glacier had two wounds, and one Ice Hill had two wounds. Lots of damage! Avalanche was a lot of fun on this one, but he has trouble hitting any DOs unless he gets a roll of 3 on his special attack (which he did here once). When he does, though, there’s plenty of mayhem, which is fun! One of the Evergreen Trees put a wound on Magneto and the Great Evergreen Tree put one wound on Destiny and one on Beast (he caused the fall). Blob’s repeated failed attempts to topple a tree instead of just punching Cyclops (who was in Psychic Defense X range) was his undoing. Magneto also got caught up with DOs early and it cost him. Cyclop’s Optic Blast is a great thing to have on a map crowded with these trees and ice structures. Beast and Jean Grey both took two wounds when Toad put the last wound on the Ice Mountain to destroy it. Iceman never healed any wounds here (it was just never worth it to sacrifice his attack).
Who won and how many wounds did they have? X-Men win on Turn 1 of Round 6 with Full life Prof X, Full life Angel, 2 life Jean Grey, and 1 life Beast remaining./spoiler]

Map: Custom
Units: Superman I, Batman (600) vs. Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel (600)

Spoiler Alert!

An Evergreen Tree was destroyed in an early round by Cyclops’ Optic Blast and put one wound on Superman. In the final round of the game, Superman destroyed a Great Evergreen Tree and wounded both Beast and himself (he destroyed it to make sure Beast didn’t first and just wound Supes). Two Ice Rocks were destroyed here (not thrown, but one from an Optic Blast and one when Iceman healed off of it). Iceman healed three wounds in all – one from an Ice Rock, and two from an Ice Mountain. No other ice formations of trees were destroyed, but they definitely made for interesting obstacles and LOS blockers on the map.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Superman wins on Turn 2 of Round 7 with 4 wounds.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- Give a brief summary. Fun battle, the DOs added just enough without being broken.
Units: X-Men: Professor X, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman, Cyclops, Angel and Gambit (1180) VS Brotherhood: Magneto II, Destiny, Avalance, Toad, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (1170)

Spoiler Alert!

(Scarlet Witch was Recruited to the Brotherhood for this battle)
Great match. Brotherhood lead the battle in destroying the map with a combo of Magneto's throwing and Avalance's Earthquake SA. Jean Grey attempted to throw the trees back, but Magneto and gang were often able to get them into posisition and topple them. Iceman was played more aggressively here and he healed three wounds on various Glaciers, destroying one Ice Rock in the process. Avalance never triggered on the Ice Mountain and the Great Evergreen tree did not fall.
Brotherhood victory with Magneto w/ 2 wounds, and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch with 3 wounds each.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- Give a brief summary. This changes the battlefield so much. I often left Heroes right in the paths of Trees because I just wasn't used to thinking about them in that way. I think these DOs will add much needed strategy when playing on many maps.
Units: Avengers: C3G Captain America, C3G Hulk, Wasp, Ant-Man, Fire Ants x7, Iron Man MK IV and Thor (1430) VS Avengers Foes: Ultron, C3G Doctor Doom, Doombots x4 (1435)

Spoiler Alert!

C3G Hulk leads out hoping to get enraged early on. Ultron tries to use the Trees to wound Hulk one wound at a time, but he fails his attack. When Ultron couldn't get a tree to fall on Hulk, he starts to attack him straight on, using his SA to remove OMs if he got too many wounds. Doom joins the battle and has bettle luck felling trees on Avengers and manages to kill Ant-Man and a few Fire Ants. Thor joins the battle by throwing an Ice Rock at Ultron for 1 wound. Thor actually caused the Great Evergreen to fall on Ultron. This battle was a lot of fun and the Avengers pulled it out in the end.
2 Fire Ants and Iron Man MK IV w/ 2 wounds won.

This looks great!

A3n, do you know the hex values for the gray and blue colors used on DOs?
