Re: Rules Team HQ
FAQs to be added
Q: If I lose control of a Vehicle Destructible Object (VDO), but another player has not taken control of it yet, whose army is it in, if any? A: A VDO starts the game in the army of the player who drafted it. If no player drafted the VDO (for example, it started the game on the battlefield as part of a scenario), it starts the game in no player's army. If a player takes control of a VDO, it enters that player's army. A VDO will remain in one player's army until another player takes control of it.

Re: Rules Team HQ
Nice!
Something we should endeavor to lay out is where common interpretation issues are coming from and investigate if there’s anything we can do to consistently clarify them across the library. For instance, “moving” and “attacking” (before/instead of/after) as power triggers can be a confusing, inconsistent mess that seems like it leads to about half our rules questions. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Rules Team HQ
The 'moving normally' interpretation seems to solve most of our problems on that half of the issue. We're still stumbling in the darkness a bit, but we've got a guide dog now.
Unfortunately, the same language just doesn't translate well to attacking, since 'normal attacks' are already a distinct thing in-game. |

Re: Rules Team HQ
I am an advocate for using “attacking” to mean the phase and “an attack” to mean the action.

Re: Rules Team HQ
OK, that conversation didn't get rolling, but is an important long-term thing to explore, IMO. I'm not sold that the moving thing was ever even fully sorted, so I think there's still an opportunity for consistency on how we refer to phases in the future.
That said, I have a smaller, but still significant (and complex) question to ask here: ------------------- When a Vehicle Destructible Object starts the game, it's in the army of the person who drafted it. If it's unoccupied, it's not in anyone's control. That said, it's fair to assume (IMO) that "you" refers at that point to the person whose army it's in (I believe we have precedent of cards where it's in your army but not under your control, but "you" still works to refer to the player whose army the unit is in). Now here's what gets tricky about VDOs: they can change hands pretty easily. Once another player occupies the VDO, if they are the only occupant (or was it if they occupy the Driver space?), they can take control of it. At this point, "you" would refer to the player controlling it. But what happens when that player loses control of the VDO (their driver leaves or dies)? Is it in anyone's army at that point? Does it stay in the army of the last player to control it? Does it revert back into the army of the player who drafted it? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Rules Team HQ
VDOs are never in your army. You can't place OMs on them. They don't count for victory conditions. They're just under your control if you occupy them.

Re: Rules Team HQ
Draftable DOs are definitely in your army, that's spelled out in the rules. I remember Bats' question coming up before, but I don't remember if we arrived at an answer.

Re: Rules Team HQ
I don't think those are contradictory. Maybe not as explicit as it could be, but I read the first bit as being about DOs that are just on the map - they don't default to being in anyone's army.

On the question at hand, my gut is that the VDOs would be in the army of the last player who controlled them? I think this is how it works with other figures that can move between "controlled" and "in an army." Like if I mind control Doomsday and he dies, then clearly the "you" text still refers to the player who last controlled him. Same with Freddy Krueger if he's on his card or any resurrecting figures.
