Another figure that can kill Gundam pilots?

Thanks for the tests! They look good.

Personally I'm okay with that.

[Ericth74]

I'm not seeing any red flags here. Anyone see something that concerns them before I propose to move forward?

[Lord Pyre]

You can go back and forth between the same two figures until you don’t roll well?

Also killing Gundam pilots is a real feel-bad tactic (I know this intimately), so I want to not take these lightly.

[IAmBatman]

Also good against White Martians and Invisible Jets.

[Ericth74]

Yes, you may go back and forth.

Not sure how to mitigate attacking a pilot though.

[IAmBatman]

I’m not sure why pilots should get special treatment over invisible targets.

Worth noting that in the 2nd playtest, Yakka Arrow Frenzy shouldn't have been as effective as it was. When you destroy a common figure with the power, it should effectively end as you could not choose another figure as it would not be within 4 spaces of the previous figure (since the previous figure is destroyed).

Hmm, that certainly is the intent to continue attacking. If a wound is inflicted, whether they die or not, you pick another target within 4 spaces of the wounded or destroyed figure. Maybe a wording change?

I know I did not suggest this in my initial, but this may be a better route for Pirate Code. As is, he can just decimate an army and take continuous turns. This would dull that down a bit.

PIRATE CODE
At the start of the game, you may choose a Unique Hero you control without the Super Strength special power. For the remainder of the game, that figure has the class of Pirate instead of what is listed on its card, and if Yondu attacks and fails to inflict a wound during his turn, you must move an Order Marker from this card to the chosen figure's Army card. After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Yondu, If he inflicted one or more wounds this turn, you may take an immediate turn with a Unique Pirate Hero or Common Pirate squad you control and you may not take any additional turns with figures you control.

Given the upper end potential of the arrow (and the undesirable ping-ponging for vehicles and pilots) should the arrow be restricted to choosing a figure that hasn't been chosen yet this round?
