Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
@Joseph Sweeney
From Book of Marcu and FAQ:
ETERNAL HATRED : If Marcu is the last figure you control If Marcu is the last figure I control, and am forced to temorarily give control to an opponent due to Eternal Hatred, do I lose? No. A ruling on DW7k's Self Destruct stated that victory/loss condition resolution does not happen until the end of the turn. Since you get Marcu back at the end of the turn, you will not have fufilled the loss condition.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
I have a rules question that I've had for a long time that still don't think I've got a satisfying answer to. Are you allowed to sit figures in your army even if you aren't over on figures? Like if you think not having those figures in your army is an advantage.
Relevant situations 1. Squad figures with Zelrig. You can sometimes avoid more casualties than figures you take off the board if you're making your startzone less packed and prone to massive Majestic Fires. 2. Nonvaliant with 4th Mass. It's kind of dumb trick but in Reverse the Whip you could throw like a Feral Troll in there with the 4th and you honestly would just rather play without him. You can shoot him on your way out of the startzone but it's not a guaranteed kill either and you aren't taking the shots on your opponent that might be available. 3. Marcu vs. Marcu in a matchup where one Marcu is more useful than the other. Marcu blocks the other Marcu from rolling Eternal Hatred which totally changes him. So say on a board with an Ulvania glyph, a Marcu army that includes Marro Warriors can risk free send Marcu to Ulvania to hold that glyph. If the other player without a unique squad in his army sits his Marcu they can't do this as risk free. The question of if these are necessarily the best strategies isn't really relevant but to me the question of can you do this is. I'm honestly completely 50/50 on what the correct answer is and I'm curious what the rule experts here say. 10 Years of Gencon/Scapecon Battle Reports - Comic Battle Reports - Probability Calculator App - Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes "It's all about the game." - Sgt.

Edit: from the D&D rules: “If there are more Army figures than spaces in the starting zone, you can’t use the extra figures.” That doesn’t imply that you can choose to sit figures if you’re under the limit, and I would argue it illustrates the designers’ intent that you only sit figures if you’re over the limit.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
The rules were never designed for tournaments (especially reverse the whip which started around the same time Heroscape production died) but in the rules start zone limits are the only place that mentioned dropping units so only if you go over the limit do you drop figures. Tournament rules may differ but I think Gencon says you cannot drop if not over.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
Pretty sure the 4th Mass lose their bonus if you have any non-valiant in your army, dead or not. So if you're playing with a Troll, you lose your bonus for the whole game.
Not sure the exact rules on reverse the whip, but the 4th Mass sound like a bad choice to bring to a game like that. |
