Army Test 1
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 200
- Give a brief overview. The Apes had a tough time of it here, as The F4 were able to grab the height and hold them off. Mikhlo did a fair amount in the little time he had. Especially with almost always attacking someone rolling 10 dice for defense. He also managed to Super Throw twice, despite always attempting it on someone with Super Strength. Enhanced Durability held off at least 2 wounds, which helped to keep him around.

- Give a brief overview. Boomerang forced Cap out of the startzone early, which really hurt the Avengers. Mikhlo did well enough, even though a Ninja managed to get on top the wall and slowly took him out. He would have done much better if not for an all-shields defense roll from Elektra and a bad Initiative roll.

Mikhlo is the kind of simple-but-fun design I love. I didn't get to use Super Throw very often, but it was fun when I got it. Enhanced Durability gives him some nice survivability, which makes it easier to put Order Markers on him, knowing that he's not going to go down quick. He had a string of bad (or at least mediocre) attack rolls, otherwise I think he would have done a lot more damage in these games. I'm interested to see how he does with the other Super Apes, but he stands well enough on his own to merit his 200 points. He's not the best choice with the Gorilla City Warriors, but he's a fun one.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? NO! - What should be the unit's point value? ??? POINTS - Give a brief summary.Good showing for everyone else. Bad showing for Mikhlo who was killed in two attacks by the Cosmic Blast and didn't get to do anything.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? YES! - What should be the unit's point value? 190 POINTS - Give a brief summary.Definitely in the right ballpark here - he killed a squad and a half of Skrulls (~165 points) and acted as a big target/protector for Solovar. Maybe a bit less than 200 but still good.
Map: Dark Dimension
Units: Super-Ape, Solovar, Gorilla City Warriors x4 (960 Points) vs. Super-Skrull: Kl'rt, Super-Skrull: Rl'nnd, Skrull Warriors x3 (950 Points)
Spoiler Alert!
[B63536]Apescapades win; 4 Wounds on Solovar, 2 Gorilla City Warriors remaining, all others destroyed, 9 Rounds.
ROUND 1: Everyone moves out.
ROUND 2: The Gorillas advance slowly, but so do the Skrulls. Mikhlo tries to throw an Ape up onto height but fails. The Skrulls kill a Warrior. Mikhlo comes in and kills a Skrull in return.
ROUND 3: Mikhlo fails to harm Super-Skrull, but kills a Skrull with his throw. Super-Skrull tries to hit Mikhlo from above but fails, and an Ape hurts him next turn. Solovar moves up a bit. A Skrull hits Mikhlo for one. A Warrior is killed by Rock Wall Bounce Back. Super-Skrull flees and hits Solovar for three.
ROUND 4: The Skrulls hit Mikhlo for another wound. The Warriors swarm Super-Skrull, dealing two more wounds and leaving him with a sliver of life. He falls back and tries to hit Solovar but fails. A Warrior is killed by Bounce Back, but Solovar comes and Negotiates Kl'rt into inaction. The Gorillas come in and kill him shortly after. Mikhlo runs over and kills another Skrull.
ROUND 5: The Skrulls miss Solovar and hit Mikhlo for one. Another Skrull is iced. Rl'nnd finally moves into action and slaughters Mikhlo with his Furious Claws. The Warriors deal two wounds to Super-Skrull. He in return kills them both. The Apes move in but don't quite reach or harm him.
ROUND 6: Monkeys fall back, the Skrulls kill another Ape. Rl'nnd puts another wound on Solovar. He continues to push, killing more Apes and not taking any wounds himself.
ROUND 7: An Ape puts two wounds on Rl'nnd while Solovar Negotiates another Marker off of him. The Apes kill him next turn and then move in.
ROUND 8: The last Gorilla charges, but the Skrulls are able to put him down before damage is done. They approach, leaving one squad of Apes against one squad of Skrulls... with Solovar hanging on.
ROUND 9: The Gorillas kill a Skrull. The Skrull kills a Gorilla. The last Skrull is killed.[/B]
FINAL THOUGHTS: He's VERY vulnerable to special attacks... but otherwise, not bad. His throw is a nice post-attack touch, enough to either mess with the battlefield or straight up kill a guy. He goes well with the Warriors, too - a nice frontline figure. I'd drop his points a bit, maybe, pending the Red Ghost and other tests.
Re: The Book of Super-Ape (Mikhlo): VOTE for Final Editing
yea to editing
Based on the discussion in Abom's thread:
SP said:
SUPER THROW 12 After attacking, you may choose an adjacent figure that is not Huge. Roll the 20-sided die, subtracting 4 from the roll if the chosen figure has the Super Strength special power. If you roll 12 or higher, you may throw the figure by placing it on any empty space within 4 spaces of this Super-Ape. After the figure is placed, roll one unblockable attack die for throwing damage. If the figure is thrown onto a level higher than the height of this Super-Ape or onto water, do not roll for throwing damage. The thrown figure will not take any leaving engagement attacks.
Griffin took 2 separate takes for me and neither of them turned out well. I'm just gonna put this on Hold until I get better shots. Worse case scenario I take them myself in a couple weeks when I get home.
