Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

Do you have to move both figures first and then attack with both or can you move and attack one at a time?

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

My guess is move both first then attack with both first, as if it was a partial squad. Whether creatures get to use all their powers might be debatable as they are not taking a full turn, only moving and attacking, so only powers related to move and attack should come into play. So not quite as powerful as "bonding" in heroscape.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

The kicker is it could be figures from different squads and even different PWs but they are supposed to be treated like a normal squad?
If it was required that the figures be from the same squad I would be more inclined to agree.

I think it is more like the Elementals and their leader where each figure moves and attacks on its own.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

Was this ever addressed? I interpreted the card as saying that both figures must be from the same squad, but it would be significantly more powerful if it can affect two different squads.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

My current thought is that it is one squad, otherwise it would say 'squad creatures' instead of 'creatures from a squad'.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

Agreed. Up to 2 creatures from a unique squad, sounds like they have to be from the same unique squad

Thanks for the quick answers! I'm considering trying out AotP fairly soon, so I wanted to make sure that I hadn't interpreted the card wrong.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

Very cool. I’m a big fan of the game. Only thing I recommend is use HS maps if possible, the cardboard maps leave a little to be desired.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

All the times we've ever played AOTP has been on a heroscape map. Old habits die hard. Though there are some cool uses of the boards.

Re: The Book of Welcome to the Fold
 

Unfortunately, one of the main reasons that I finally tried out the game is because I had to leave my HeroScape collection at home for a couple of weeks until I can bring it back to my campus, so we only had the cardboard mats and other AotP terrain available.

That said, I actually enjoyed the game a lot more than I anticipated. I wouldn't say that I enjoy it more than classic HeroScape, but I can see my group making some time for this game every now and then (especially with how much shorter set-up is). I'll have to look more into the various factions beyond just Blue for next time. :)

Try Black, I think that might be my favorite.
