Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

No, which is why I did not attempt it this last game. In the VDO rules it is mentioned but I assume that is to cover the possibility.
We probably should rule on that. For now I will play it as you cannot.
If you can stand on a VDO, are you engaged with it, can you attack it?

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

One thing that is a little weird. If an opponent's figure exits a VDO you are driving they take an unblockable attack die if they do not have SS but there is nothing against an opponent hopping into the passenger seat.
Not a big deal but if the idea is the VDO is still moving, then getting in would be tricky.

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

That’s tricky. On one hand, you see people hopping on/in cars all the time, no problem, in these kinds of stories. Indy can do it. There’s a whole ep of YJ S3 that has Dick and Roy hopping all over a bunch of moving trucks. But it’s also hard to imagine Luthor or somebody of similar physical skill doing it and there’s no real way to distinguish between a Nightwing level of skill and a Lex level of skill.

I honestly interpreted the unblockable die as the struggle of escaping the car itself. The guy in charge can lock the door, making it harder for the opponent’s figure to escape. A SS guy can just punch the door down, but a non-SS guy might have to jump through the window or something like that, leading to injury.

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

It may have to be on a case by case basis here.
You should be able to at least climb over/run across a VDO if you have the movement.
Is that allowed with the current rules?

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

Yes. On top of is adjacent, so you can melee attack.

You can walk over anything with height if you have the right move/height/climb yourself.

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

I get that for like a ruin that does not take up a space, but does that apply here?
You are essentially entering the space the VDO is in. It is not just climbing over and dropping down on the other side, you are on top for part of the movement.

So if a figure is standing at the front bumper of a Sports Car, they can walk over it(two spaces) and end up at the rear bumper for 6 Move?

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

Good question. I guess it’s a figure, not an obstacle, under the rules. If you have disengage, can you climb over an enemy figure?

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

I think it's an obstacle and a figure. My junkyard map was definitely designed with being able to climb on top of the parked cars.

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

I was thinking about the climbing over another scenario as well Bats.
We could ask that one out in classic land. :)

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

May have found a worrisome combo. Sue and Atom in the Car cannot be targeted so you have to KO the Car first which is at 8 Defense. Then you still have to engage Sue to take her out which Reed can make quite difficult.

Re: Draftable Vehicles - Waiting for new Initial Test
 

Is the car’s normal defense 6?
