Awesome idea ^^^^^

Why would flyers not be able to fly over quicksand? just a question... good idea though!

[Lex]

Yay! People like my idea and yea I agree. Flyers should be able to fly right over quicksand just as they can water.

I like your idea, too, though I would chage the numbers around a bit as in Heroscape, low numbers bad, high numbers good. So just change it so instead of 1-2 you escape the sand, 1-2 you're destroyed and 19-20 you escape, etc.

I think the idea was all figures should be subject to being sucked in, but I agree, fliers shouldn't be restricted.

[Lex]

Yeah I made that mistake early on and just went with it because I was lazy give me a few minutes and I'll switch it up.

Neat idea but how would you keep track of what level of quick sand a figure is in? I could see that being pretty confusing with a bunch of quicksand, especially with squads..
Maybe markers or something to go on the figures card...?

[Lex]

Ok I made some simple markers.



Print multiple copies on cardstock then cut them out.

[Crookeye]

the only problem with this is you'd have to make it worth going into the quicksand. like a glyph or objective. but even then someone would just use a flyer to pass right over it.

[Lex]

Or you could litter the field with Quicksand so it is Inevitable not to step on it.

Here's a simpler quicksand function that is low enough risk that players may be tempted to cross the quicksand.

Any activated figure who attempts to leave a quicksand hex during their movement must roll the D20. If they roll an 6 or less, that figure's movement phase is ended and they remain on the quicksand hex. Non-flying figures must roll the D20 for each quicksand hex they attempt to leave. Flying figures roll the D20 only for quicksand hexes they on which they began their movement.
Any figure standing on a quicksand hex rolls one less attack die when attacking and one less defense die when being attacked.
