My Friend, and Line Of Sight (LOS)

[The Super Atheist]

No matter what, my friend can ALWAYS see my figures, even though the figure is clearly FULLY hidden behind a ruin or what ever.

Solutions? I've tried to get him to trace LOS right, putting your head behind his aiming figure's head, yada yada yada.

But, when he puts his head behind the aiming figure, his head is always slightly above the figure, so it's more like a, "3rd person view" than a, "1st person view".

How much is a laser pointer? Just a cheap one. How about a piece of string, will that work?

I could hide anything behind a ruin, and he could see it. (Okay, not EVERYTHING, but if it's an Imperium, he can always see it, even though the only things you can see are non-hit zones)

I find a kick in the shin or a slap to the back of the head yeilds the desired results.

If he is too lame or dumb to see it, then just roll the D20 to resolve the dispute and move on.

Punch him in the neck.












Twice.

He's destroying the fun of the game by trying too hard to win and lying, apparently.

I have Z-Ray vision, I can see your figures right now.

You should be able to find a laser pointer at a dollar store for about.....a dollar or so.

I'm not letting him win by rolling a D20. I'm not going to let him nuetralize an imperium just becuase his goodyear blimp LOS can see it.

I took the castle, ruins are on the top of the castle, i've hidden a squad of imperium behind one of those ruins, careful to make sure you can't see them while following the rules and one squad of stingers at a time is not going to take it back becuase YOU CAN'T SEE MY IMPERIUM. You should of figured that out, and picked something that is tall enough or whatever to be able to see my figures and take back the castle.

Everything is symmetrical, with a castle in the middle (I've given my castle set a second chance) with ruins on top of it.

I don't want to have to stop using ruins on maps becuase you have goodyear blimp LOS.


BTW, I have changed my opinion on the castle. It is awesome.

Maybe you could try using Nakitas. Even if he thinks he can see them, a 13+ will tell him that he can't.

Or you could just play Nilfheim- there's no use hiding him anyway.

[Browncoat]

Yeah, I'd say a swift chop to the neck should do the trick.

I understand your frustatration; sounds like the type of player I would quit associating with. It really sucks when you have to put up with a-holes and rules nazis just to play this great game. Good luck to you.

i would do this if my rule breaking friend was not so much bigger and stronger

There are no rules against bad sportsmanship, but here's a little trick to ease (honest) los appreciation : instead of standing behind the shooter, stand behind the target and see if you can hide the shooter's head with any body part of the target.
I don't know why but it's more obvious that way. Or is it just me ?

[Roufus]

Poke him in the eye.



At least then he'll only be able to see half as much.
