The Book of Capt. John Varan
 
The Book of Capt. John Varan


C3V Wave 1 – "Thormun's Reprieve"


PURPLE HEART
When a Human you control who follows Jandar and is adjacent to Capt. John Varan receives one or more wounds from an attacking figure who is not adjacent, you may instead place all of those wound markers on this Army Card.

BATTLE VALOR SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 2.
Instead of moving and attacking normally, Capt. John Varan may use Battle Valor Special Attack. When using Battle Valor Special Attack, Capt. John Varan may move up to 3 spaces before attacking. When moving and attacking with Battle Valor Special Attack, Capt. John Varan may move and attack one additional time for each wound marker on this Army Card.



There are two figures that can be used for this unit:
  1. A Heroclix figure from the Cosmic Justice set. Its model number and name is (019, 020, 021/Sgt. Rock).
  2. A Heroclix figure from the Cosmic Justice set. Its model number and name is (207/Gen. Frank Rock).

-Rulings and Clarifications-

Purple Heart:
Q: Which figures must be "not adjacent" for Capt. Varan to be able to use Purple Heart?
A: The opponent's attacking figure must be "not adjacent" to the defending figure you control. Capt. Varan may use Purple Heart to protect a figure from a non-adjacent *ranged* attack, but not an adjacent attack.

Q: If an unwounded Capt. Varan is adjacent to a Jandar squad member or hero with one life left, and a ranged opponent attacks that figure and rolls two more skulls than shields by the defending one-life figure, and Capt. Varan uses Purple Heart, does he get one or two wounds?
A: Capt. Varan takes 2 wounds. The adjacent figure never receives any wounds. "All" the wound markers go to Varan, like the card says.

Q: Are the wounds Capt. John Varan receives from Purple Heart inflicted by the original attacker? For example: if a Protector of Ullar attacked someone and Varan Purple Hearted the wounds, would the other Protectors get the Combined Arbalest bonus dice if they attacked Varan?
A: No. The wounds inflicted by the normal attack are ignored. The wounds inflicted on Capt. John Varan are inflicted due to the special power Purple Heart and are not considered to be inflicted by the attacking figure.

Battle Valor Special Attack:
Q: If Capt. John Varan takes a wound from an Engagement Strike or falling damage while moving and attacking with Battle Valor Special Attack, do those wounds count when determining whether Capt. John Varan may move and attack again with Battle Valor Special Attack?
A: Yes. Check whether Capt. John Varan has more wounds on his card than the number of times he has moved and attacked with Battle Valor Special Attack this turn after completing each move and attack sequence with Battle Valor Special Attack. If he has more wounds, you may move and attack with Battle Valor Special Attack again.

Q: If Capt. John Varan has wound markers on his card, but steps on a glyph of Kelda while moving and attacking with Battle Valor Special Attack, do those wounds count when determining whether Capt. John Varan may move and attack again with Battle Valor Special Attack?
A: No. Capt. John Varan has no wounds on his card, so he cannot move and attack again with Battle Valor Special Attack.

Great work, Filthy. Great precedent, too! I'll add the powers text to Zogross like Quozl suggested.

Now this is a fantastic, flavorful, playable figure! I can just imagine him taking a blast for his men and going Rambo across the battlefield. Very cool, very cool indeed. :D

I really like the powers with this unit -- really fits well with the overall Jandar theme.

One question on Purple Heart, though.

Not adjacent to who? the Human you control or to Capt. John Varan?

Not adjacent to the figure receiving the wounds.

Not adjacent to the Human you control.

Not adjacent to whomsoever is being attacked (which in this case means the Human you control who follows Jandar and is adjacent to Varan).

Re: The Book of Capt. John Varan
 
When using battle valor special attack are you forced to follow the sequence of move, attack, move, attack; or can you use all of your movement value followed by all of your attacks?
