I really don't like the idea of attacking your own figures. I know that the rules and FAQ's allow for it, but it doesn't seem like good sportsmanship to me. It would definitely be frowned upon at my game table, however if I was at someone else's house and they wanted to play that way, I would play along.

I've filled him full of arrows while he's at the door of the castle. It was the only way to get the thing down!

Hi all -

This is my first post here. I have been reading the forums for little more than a week now and every time I have gone to post about a question or thought I have I find some new little shiny gem on this site to distract me and take me off in a new direction. Anyway its a great site / community and I look forward to being trounced by you guys at GENCON.

I just bought Krug and instantly went to Bixbys spreadsheet (one of the many great gems here for newbs) to find the discuss link (since there is no search and I finally found the discussion about why).

Anyway, I think that any chance you give me to take a swipe at Krug I am going to take it. If you want to dance around me giving me opportunities to take out one of those 8 lives I will go for it. When Krug is down to just a couple life left he is going to hurt and there is no getting around it. So if you let me get some of them removed I will take it and then on my turn start concentrating on him to get the pain over with.

If my opponent wanted to shoot his own guy for any reason I would have no problem with that.

My first two cents -

- Dwight

If you have a Kelda and a theracus, you can swoop her in and heal your boy just a little and start over again!

Welcome to the boards by the way. I'm sure some dude named Aldin will welcome you too.

Why exactly is Theracus needed for this?

Sorry, for the confusion. You don't need Theracus for Kelda. But what I do is us Theracus to tote in and take out like a MASH unit. Now of course T-bird can't carry krug but he can carry out any smaller troops.

Thanks!

I believe it is situation dependant. The stronger Krug is going to probably take out the guy that did the swiping or at least remove a life or two. If I can achieve life loss parity as a worse case and the guy that Krug is attacking isn’t key then I would sacrifice him.

EDIT:
And I had not thought about the healer (MASH unit). I feel though that actions are a valuable part of the game as a commodity and spending them to hurt your own and then another to heal may be valuable to me.

now, I wonder how krug wound fare against cyprien. Will cyprien surpass krug as teh most pt effecient unit in the game? (in hidsight isamu probably has that by a mile, but whatever)

Krug would obliterate him in a one on one game. Every time he successfully uses 'Chilling Touch' Krug becomes stronger. For Cyprien to win, he'd have to put three wounds on Krug from 'Chilling Touch'/attacking and then get a lucky roll to inflict six wounds to kill him. Other than that, Cyprien doesn't stand a chance one on one.

Hey guys.

I have a question. Can you use both Double attack and wounded smash to attack an opponent? That's what I always do but I believe I am doing it wrong. Can someone answer this?
