Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Looking for thoughts on how to beat these guys in a "heat of the battle" game. Their weakness is their movement, but in HofB they do not really have to move. Also, ranged figures are not nearly as powerful in HofB games. thoughts?
What GenCon taught me was to assume only one skull on three dice! |

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
I think counterintuitively you can do okay with Knights of Weston in HoB vs. Cathar. Finn Gilbert can fearlessly take the Spears and give you the hitting power to punch through the Cathar 4 defense.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Any Braced Spear ruling should logically also apply to Engagement Strike rulings, since they mechanically are the same ability.
Something of note is that Engagement strike contains the additional text Quote:

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
The Grimnak ruling is card-specific and not dispositive to any other cards or rulings.
For example, Anubian Wolves' Unleashed Fury is a mandatory power that lacks the "you must" text used in many other mandatory powers. Similarly, Feral Troll's Regenerate is also a mandatory power. I do not believe that Engagement Strike is optional (the "may" in that sentence is clarifying that it only happens upon entering engagement). Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!
