- TWO LIFE SQUADS :
How do two-life squads work?
Some squad figures, like the Dreadnauts of New Tortuga, have more than one life. If one of these figures receives a wound, use the tiny wound markers to track how many wounds each figure has. [Show the underside of the base with the tiny wound marker attached to the base] (Age of Annihilation Beta Rulebook)

How does a 2 life squad work?

[ThrasherDarkrai]

So the way the 2 life squads were supposed to work is that AoA would come packaged with "small" wound markers that could be slotted somewhere into the squad figures' bases. You would slot a small wound into a squaddie's base when it lost its first life, and then take the figure off the map as normal when it was fully destroyed. Presumably, this is how the Frostclaws, Dreadnauts, and Wraithriders will function after Renegade Studios publishes the AoA stuff - it's hard to imagine how else they'd do it - but Renegade hasn't technically confirmed they're going to package the figures with their small wound markers (though, again, I can't imagine why they wouldn't be included with the new stuff).

[Myriadite]

A really good question, and thanks for the response! I have added this to the "Rulings and Clarifications" part of the book, specifically quoting the beta rulebook.

If I recall correctly, even the Haslab did not show how the small wound markers would work, but it mentioned they would be included. It may be an R&D item that Renegade will have to figure out.

It would be neat if they could incorporate it into the sculp, somehow.
