Harder than it sounds!

As someone who played FFG games almost exclusively for several years, including lots of competitive Xwing and Imperial Assault (second place in Nationals in the former, National Champion in the latter)... Just 'doing what it says on the card' sure _seems_ simple. I remember, for example, that in IA it eventually turned out that, in the nitty gritty of the rules, there is a huge mechanical difference between 'moving two spaces' and 'gaining two movement points' in regards to action limits, out-of-sequence actions and interrupts. Fine, that's not exactly elegant, but okay, I guess there could be a use for that sort of distinction. Only problem was, appearently no one on the design team bothered with understanding the distinction in their own game and just used either wording at random on various cards, whether it worked or made sense or not...

Coming from Warmachine I am surprised how in GW games bending the rules at random places is expected and gentlemanly, while playing according to the rules (and with neat measurements) makes you a rules lawyer 0o

Magivmc the Gathering is the king for rules interaction.

@@robertchmielecki2580because its about having fun!

Thanks! I get it right sometimes!

I can't just do rule mistakes videos. It's a limited quarry I'm mining here!

Because it was today or never as I'm going away for 2 weeks tomorrow xD

@@GlassHalfDead I don’t know where to respond or comment on podcasts, so I’ll do this right here: I have to Agree with you, that I felt a little disconnected from the game. I consumed all the KT content out there. But then I picked up a few models for the Warp Coven team and suddenly list building was awesome again!! What bothers me is that you usually “take all the specialists” and that’s it. I feel like they’re slowly picking up the pace though. Wyrmblade offers the choice of specialists and legionnaires actually have more choices than you can field, plus choices of marks. So im really looking forward to what’s to come and where they go with it. Oh and wherever you go.. have a nice trip 💪😊

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

In fairness there diagrams for climb and drop are very misleading!

@@GlassHalfDead The way it talks about starting the climb within 1" also leads people astray.

@@reubenmccallum3350 we all played it wrong for a time, no doubt! A lot of confusing terms

Happy to help!

Film the fight to get more views!

Vantage point rules are very clear that you can't receive cover from the building you're standing on so essentially you just need visibility.

@@GlassHalfDead Does the 6" range count horizontal, or do you need to measure diagonal through the building?

I give the template to my Patrons :)

That's right, you will have already used a shoot action and can't do that twice. The psychic action there is essentially just temporarily giving you a weapon that you can shoot with. Likewise overwatch specifically says perform a shoot action, so you can't perform a psychic action first.

@@GlassHalfDead Cheers! It was clear to me but some chaps that are new to skrimish games like this found it confusing. Thanks for the stellar content

It's morally illegal!

If you have fly you can just move on to it yeah

You are correct that three Comms must be activated to use his ability. The Nob's rule works slightly differently and it stipulates when it must be used because it's not an action that can be used when you want (actions are defined in the core rules, abilities are unique and need to tell you exactly when and how to use them)

Thats right, "Listen In" is an action that costs 1 AP during the Comm Boy´s activation. "Get it Dun!" on the other Hand is a "free" ability your "LEADER" Character can use once it is activated. Since both are actions of your operatives you need them to be activated first to use them.

@@konsi88 Thanks both. I found it confusing that both rules have the same practical effect but one explicit and one implicit about “during activation”. Strange choices by the drafters at GW, why not just write both rules the same and tweak only the text that is intended to be different.

They are designs reserved as rewards for my $10 patrons along with extra videos and my objective markers! Alternatively the creator of then has alternate designs of you search for Dovakruz Kofi he'll be the top result!

That's correct as all of the octarius terrain is 3" high which requires 2 circle to climb so they must move and dash.

Since it costs 2Circle movement to climb the octarius terrain it would use up all the (necorn) operatives movement just to clear the vertical way. So you would need a dash to finish. Another possiblility would be the use of the strategic ploy "IMPLACABLE MARCH" when not in conceal.

@@GlassHalfDead Do you / others tend to play the doors and hatches in Octarius with the rules from Chalnath (as in, they open)? If so, does climbing up the hatch count as scalable? (Or is the only scalable terrain the ladder to the oil rig)? Appreciate that can all be done by agreement at the start of the game with friends. But would be keen to get a vibe of how folk tend to do that in a tournament / at a FLGS.

@@OurCognitiveSurplus I never do but I know that the London TOs do 🤷‍♂️

@@GlassHalfDead thank you sir, love your information 💪

Special rules in this case are the Lethal 5+ and AP1. The MWx is a critical hit rule. The way it works is discussed in the Compendium Designer's Commentary here: www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/hJ51bJHjCztOiS5h.pdf

Hi bud. I give a tutorial here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r-B-gJuKsLuohp8.html There are of course alternatives!

Dat's de 'ardest kulor!

Anything is possible!
