Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus
I've read through the FAQ and couldn't find a direct ruling on allowing an army to harm its own. Thank you, Xn FM, for the links but I didn't see anything official in them, only personal opinions and reasonings.
Unless someone can show me an official ruling that allows this action, I am going to say, that for this tournament, it won't be allowed. You are a friendly or you are not a friendly. |

If you couldn't attack your own units then Hasbro would not have had to issue errata on the Deathreavers. They would have simply stated that by rule, you cannot attack your own figure; to do otherwise would have been nonsensical. The Rules Team's stance on rules questions is that they only step in when the community cannot answer a question on their own. I'm well aware of the fact that just because that wasn't refuted in either of those threads doesn't mean it's necessarily the correct ruling. But the official procedure for rules questions on this site is to bring them before the community before taking them to the higher ups. If the community can come to a consensus on the proper procedure, we're not supposed to bother the big guys. I'm going to be upfront here, one of the armies I was considering taking can do the Zelrig/Iron Golem trick (which none of the design team refuted during the pre-release discussions) so I'm a little biased. But if you need an official ruling to support the community one, there's more than enough time to email WotC. ~Xn I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

What I said was that there was some kind of rule for double spaced figures and I couldn't remember what it was, but that it didnt matter since you had none. I knew it was something about how they landed. The rule that I couldn't recall correctly is that a double spaced figured would count the landing space as two whether they were landing on one or two slippery/heavy terrain. In other words you wouldn't count the landing as 4 only 3, one for flight and 2 for the one front space (which is where I got confused about the front). I think it is very clear logically that you may attack your own army based on the rules (which don't expressly forbid it and further by the language on the cards). If you are not able to attack your own troops the errata would not be necessary for the rats and other figures that distinguish an opponent's attack from your own when defending. This is the exact argument I made to you the other day wnfb. 1. If you can not attack your own troops then the only attacks would be from opponents. 2. Certain abilities stipulate that the attack must be made by an opponent in order to use them. 3. If you can not attack your own troops then there is no reason to clarify if the attack is from an opponents figure or not. Therefore, you may attack your own figures. I am missing various figures, probably borrowed and never returned. My initials SMT are on the underside of the base on all of my figures, thanks in advance for returning them upon discovery...

Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus
Here is Robert's response from Wizards.com to my e-mail on targeting your own;
Support Agent)09/28/2010 10:23 AMHello Greg, Thank you for contacting us. After doing some research on the topic of attacking friendly figures in Heroscape, we've been able to find the answer. Because the rules as written do not specifically prohibit targeting friendly units with an attack, you are legally able to attack them. Triggers, like the Deathreavers you mentioned, may have restrictions that prevent them from happening during harm caused by friendly figures. There are also specific figures that may prevent them from attacking friendly figures (like the MacDirk Warriors "Highland Fury" ability). It is also important to note that you cannot have a figure attack itself. I can understand the written rules are a bit confusing, but these are the accepted rules that were used at GenCon this year. I will definitely forward this issue to the appropriate department for possible inclusion in future versions of the FAQ for the game. I hope this helps to clear things up. Take Care! |

Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus
Anyone know of a good map that employs the new DnD pieces?
Anyone have an 'in' to hit up companies to donate to the prize table? |

Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus
Is WotC providing some support? With donations from players we had lots last couple times.
Are we having trophies again this year? I have suggestions if we do. |
