Correct.

I'm glad to hear it regarding the hitzone images incorporating errata too. And 1.3MB over the wire for the new page is impressive given the number of images involved!

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

The wife and I started playing Arena of the Planeswalkers over a year ago and have branched out to Heroscape in the past few months. We have just now started acquiring multiple copies of Common Squads.

My question is: When using multiple copies of a common squad do you have to differentiate which figures belong to which squad card, or can you just use the one squad card and then move/attack with any 3-4 of the figures that belong to the individual squads?

Sorry if this question has been asked/answered already, but I didn't feel like digging through all 868 pages of this thread.

Welcome aboard. With commons, use only 1 card and activate any 3 (or how ever many in that squad).

Cool, that's what I was hoping was the case. Thanks for the quick response.

I believe tonight we are doing an Elves Vs. Marro battle, and we'll be using common squads in both.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

So I've recently bought AotP: Shadows over Innistrad, and I know that my local game store still has Zendikar in stock , but I'm looking to buy the first set before that one. Does anyone know If they still sell the first master set in stores still? I didn't see it at the game store.

P.S. sorry if this should have gone in the AotP forums. I figured I might get a quicker response here.

I would try local retailers like Target to see if they have it on clearance.

It is also on Amazon still for about $17.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

If a figure takes up two or more hexes, when it moves how do you count hexes for movement? Does each part of the figure that takes up a different hex take up a movement point as you move forward or do you move normally and just make sure the figure can stop properly (level hexes and unoccupied)?

I don't have the base game but I read the AotP rulebook and it appears I just drag the other part behind the figure and only count the front (front being the direction I am moving). Is this correct?

That is correct. The trailing part of the base needs to follow the same path as the lead. It's also important to remember that the figure must fit in each space as you move along. You can flip your double spaced figure at any point along its path to make sure it fits in the space.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

It must fit in each space, but it does not need to be able to fit while "sliding along", just to be clear.

Looking for a way to get casual players involved in Heroscape? Do your opponents lack the interest or knowledge to build/draft their own armies? If so, check out Project 500!

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Now that heroscape is out of print, where can you buy heroscape products other than eBay and amazon?
