Islandscape is Here!

Today's Trivia Hint #2:

The name of the old show contained a close variant of a character name which is in my army; and its from C3V!

For those of you that can make it, or are arriving early and want a place to hang out until the store opens at 11:00, I will be at the Panera Bread, one block from the game store, from around 10:30 or so, until 11:30. Come have a little breakfast, or lunch, and talk Heroscape!

The address of the Panera Bread is: 1082 Old Country Rd, Plainview, NY 11803

Well met!

Had a good time; had a question:

If a squad figure moves onto the Summoning Glyph and summons another member of that squad, can the summoned unit then move on the same turn?

I do not expect to win, or even place, as my army is mostly melee with one B+ shooter. However, due to our extensive practice, I have a good feel for how to play it, and may surprise . . .

Well met!

My best showing at Islandscape was with WoB. My one loss was to [???], who tied them up so they couldn't use Pounce. If only Morgoloth had been released then . . .

You can't possibly be bringing Mok, can you?

@kolakoski I believe you are correct; you can summon an enemy figure and attack with another member of the squad (if they have range and have enough movement to reach engagement). The glyph reads:

"When one of your figures stops here, you may “summon” any other figure (yours or your opponent’s) by moving it to a space adjacent to the figure on the Glyph. The summoned figure does not receive a leaving engagement roll if it was engaged. Note: If there is no empty adjacent space, you can’t use the Summon power."

I'm talking about summoning another of my own squad figures, and moving the summoned one in the same turn.

I believe the summoned squad figure still gets to move and attack.

Do we round down for kills on partial squad points, like we do here?

[chas]

Warbanner,

No, its not Mok. Interesting guess, though. I wonder what cartoon could be a variant of his name!?!

Any other guesses?

[WarBanner]

If it's less than 1/2, round down, otherwise round up. I'm a math teacher.

In the past, we never gave points for anything other than killing a full squad. So, if you have 2 of the 3 stingers in a squad, you don't get points until you've killed the last stinger.
