AE with both teams dropping

[Nwojedi]

I was just curious, what happens if both sides have AE, and both end up droping the same turn. Who places first? And if the higher roll places first, does he get to place one figure first, then the other side, then another and so on? or is the entire squad, and then the opponent?

Don't know that there's any official ruling on this scenario, but I think by applying the general rules for how situations like this are handled in the game I would think you're right about higher roll placing first and then alternating until all are placed.

No, no no. You do the whole power first. Not one at a time.

You roll a d20 to see who gets to try for the drop first. The player who wins that roll then gets to roll for their drop. If they get to drop, they do their drop, then the other player rolls for his drop....

Or that :)

That's a lot of do droppings :D

[Nwojedi]

you sure nether? I'd figure it would be who has the higher drop roll. So your thinking it would be

Roll to see who drops first
Roll drops
Place
other place
initative
GOtime?

How are we going to run it at the tourney? These are things i'll want to know.

No it goes like this
Roll to see who drops first.
First dropper rolls to drop, if succesful they drop.
Second dropper rolls for drop, if successful they drop.
Initiative

I bet it will be played By the rulebook? :P

Its on Page 16 of the 2nd Edition rule book. A section called "Simultaneous Special Powers"

2nd edition rulebook can be found here... http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=432

I am 100% sure thats how it works. If I am wrong I will eat an order marker.

What is the smiley for this? Oh yah! :rtfm: :gencon:

[netherspirit]

HAHA!!! Very nice smiley usage GB.

actually, i didn't know they even had anything about that in there. I'm not used to playing multiple uniques, so it's never really came up before. but now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

I don't play mulitple uniques either, but I have an uncanny ability to remember rules when I read the book, even if they don't pertain to the way I play ;):)

I don't think many play with multiple uniques, but it certainly comes up when you start playing tournies with pre-built armies.

I think there will be a lot of AE in Indy this August.

[Command-and-Conquer]

I don't play with double uniques. But overall I think netherspirit it right. (and they said you were bad) :D
