Nikita Agents Adgacent Attack

[Shield_Rhino]

2 Questions based on the special attack when oppnents enter adjacent space.

1. Is it a 20 sided dice throw for each nikita agent that the opponents figure has entered an adjacent space for? ie enters space surrounded by 3 Nikita agents... is it a roll per agent.. or just once as a group

2. Is that rolled as soon as they move into that space or after their attack?

Thanks
Phil

each one gets a shot and it happens a soon as they are adjacent

1. This is an unusual case, but yes, one roll for each.
2. Immediately. This means that the Nakita may be able to kill the figure before it even gets to make an attack. Note, though, that the opponent's figure may even continue moving, but the roll has to happen first.

Okay, let's look at the text:
Engagement Strike 15
If an opponent’s small or medium figure moves adjacent to a Nakita Agent, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 15 or higher, the opponent’s figure receives a wound. Figures may only be targeted as they move into engagement with a Nakita Agent.

Any time an opponents figure moves adjacent to any one of the Nakita Agents, this power is triggered. So for each Nakita agent that the figure moves adjacent to, you get to roll the d20.

Okay - that raises some questions in my mind, does the power activate if:

1) Jotun throws someone adjacent to NA?
2) Theracus transports someone adjacent to NA?
3) AE drop adjacent to NA?

1) I would say YES
2) I would say YES (stoopid Theracus..)
3) NO AE can't drop adjacent to figures


* Also note The Engagement Strike is only good on small and medium figures.

I don't think they would get the roll in any of those cases since the figures did not move themselves. I think that if it says when a figure moves, it only happens if they are moving that figure during that figure's turn (with the exception of Ninja Disappearing moves and Deathreavers Scatter moves, thsoe would still draw the Nakita attack)

Also, I don't think the AE can drop adjacent to any figures (including other AE)

Ninja can't stop dissapearing adjacent to a enemy fig

[Aldin]

So Theracus and lavaboy might be answers to the NA? Interesting.

I still think a thrown figure could get the engagement strike. It's just too much fun not to attempt to throw a hero, roll for possible throwing damage, and then roll for possible Engagement Strike.

Note The Ninja would not be able to move adjacent to any enemy figure with disappearing.

Jotun winds up, he looks for a signal from the Nakita Agents. I tell you, Jotun's stuff has been great today and Finn just doesn't look like he's gonna be a challenging throw for the gentle giant. Now he has the signal and he throws Finn _right into the middle_ of them! It's a slaughter, I've never seen anything like it - what a throw, what a hit!
