Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

@TREX and I did a video battle recently and 2 rules came up we were 100% on:

1) For road bonus movement does a double-spaced figure need both sides of the peanut on road? or can one half be on road and you still get the movement bonus?

2) The Hydra's special ability states that they can add 1 to their range and attack figures within 2 spaces. It does not indicate clear sight or anything. Our question was can the Hydra legally make this attack as shown in the images below? The hydra has no sight, and it's the same height as the ice glacier...but the special indicates that you can attack figures within 2 spaces. Does the addition of the extra space make it a ranged attack? and therefore a ranged attack would necessitate clear/line of sight? I gave the Gorillitroopers as an example with their autocannon special ability. They can add to their range number for a ranged attack, but they still need clear sight. Is it the same with Reach?



thanks guys

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

For the Hydra, Reach is considered a Ranged attack and would need to satisfy the requirements for a ranged attack, one being clear line of sight to the target's hit zone.

From the Book of Fen Hydra:
REACH = Ranged Attack
Q: If the Fen Hydra Attacks a figure 2 spaces away using its REACH Special Ability, does the Reach-ed figure receive the Defense Bonus from Jungle Trees and Brush?
A: Yes. REACH gives the Hydra a normal ranged Attack with vertical limitations. A Reach-ed figure Defends against a normal ranged Attack, including any bonuses to its Defense which it would normally get under those circumstances. This also means that melee Attack-bonuses (such as those offered by Finn the Viking Champion and Sir Gilbert) cannot modify an Attack made using REACH.


Just checked the FAQ. The entire move must be on road spaces to get the bonus. So, a double spaced figure must occupy 2 road spaces for its entire move to get the bonus.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

For #2, adding +1 range turns the attack into a ranged attack. All rules for ranged attacks apply as normal.

@Sir Heroscape . @Tiranx confirmed that also at the tourney. Makes sense. I think it was just over thought out.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Concerning rating blog entries:

I recently asked the readers of the Codex to rate the Codex articles they liked, so we could get a better picture of what to deliver. However, I realized today that I can't actually see any ratings. I rated an article to test it out, and though it says the rating was added, I see no change. The same is true for both this account, and the one I use to post the Codex articles.

How do I see ratings? Is it something that requires 2+ to show up?

Great question btw.

Yes, but probably more appropriately asked here since it is a site usage question rather than a gameplay question. More likely to catch the eyes of site admins who can provide answers in the right forum.

Sorry, I can't be of more help than that.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

If I am activating a squad, shouldn't I have to specify exactly which squad members I am activating and moving, even if one moves 0? This is something I see (and have done) all the time in online tournaments where you move one or two squad members and attack with them but otherwise you decide as you need to which remaining squad members to attack with. This is clearly done to your advantage where you have the option to attack with a certain squad member if your first attack fails but are able to switch to another engaged squad member if the attack was successful.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Although it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, you're playing it correctly. You don't have to declare moving 0, and you can decide during your attack phase which units attack.
