I remember it being discussed in the Road rules thread with the flying issue....

I, also, seem to remember the Road/Flying issues being discussed on .net, and it was determined by Rob & Craig as an either/or ... To bad they were never Archived!!!

hehe - i'll back up that seething hatred and raise you a "How could anyone forget the legendary Flying/Walking/Disengagement attack" rules thread which introduced Chris the rules guy of Customer Service to the HS community?"

If it was on .net, I didn't see it either, as I hadn't joined the community yet. Like netherspirit, though, I don't recall seeing that ruling on HQ. Granted, I agree with it (I think flying/walking should be an either/or). And because the main time where this really applies is with the Wind glyph, I think it's somewhat fitting, even if a LITTLE off-topic

Interestingly this just came up today as I had a Senitnel on the Wind glyph and we agreed he had to first step off and then could fly from the next tile.

Rulings aside, it makes sense to me logically that you could take two walking steps and then fly two or any combination thereof. Why, logically, couldn't you do some of both? I can choose to run part of a trek and walk part so I would think a flying creature could do both.

Me two cents worth........

Maybe the rules clarification well has run dry (or I have false memories of quicker responses ):

Are figures with the flying ability able to interchange between flying and walking during the same turn, or must a decision be made to do one or the other? Only time this really matters that I can come up with is when a flying figure leaves the wind glyph - after stepping off is the figure able to resume flying?

Thanks,

Looks like Rob and Craig are getting some time to address the questions to Chris:

1. When a flying figure steps off of the glyph of Rannveig, they cannot fly and must walk, but after they take that first step, can they then start to fly since there is no figure on the glyph?
A: Yes. Flying figures may choose to walk, or fly, but they can also switch how they move mid-turn.

Yeh! Answers, plenty of answers!!!!
