The GenCon Rulings Thread

[OEAO]

The purpose of this thread is pretty simple: as rulings are made, I'll add them here.


General Questions:

Q: Can you sit figures if you aren't over the figure/hex limit?
A: No. The rules don't say you can, so you can't.

Q: Are 3D printed figures allowed?
A: Yes, so long as they exactly match the size of the official figures. Further, please make sure your paint job clearly marks the difference between hit zones and non-hit zones.

Q: When removing an opponent's Order Marker with an ability (Mind Flayer Mastermind, Fyorlag Spiders, etc.), do you choose which Order Marker to remove?
A: Yes. Choose one Order Marker on that army card and remove it. However, you may not look at it.


Questions About Specific Units:

Mezzodemon Warmongers
Q: If you drop any Mezzodemon Warmongers during setup, do you still receive their Exoskeleton markers?
A: No. You receive one Exoskeleton marker for each Mezzodemon Warmonger in your starting zone.


Please let me know what I'm forgetting (there have been so many rulings; these just stick out to me).

Edit: Mods, if this is the wrong sub-forum, please feel free to move it to wherever you see fit.

The Warmongers question was a great question!

If time is called do I still get to roll for the drop for Airborne?
Um, absolutely not. (I’m not saying who asked that but you know who you are.)

Partial or Full card scoring?
Full.

I want to be on that side of the map and so does my opponent.
Roll for it. High roll picks.

Are the glyphs static for the map?
We randomize a specific glyph set each year and place them (randomly but avoid doubles of the same glyphs) on the maps after we’ve built the maps. The glyphs then remain on that map for the whole Con.

Occasionally we use treasure glyphs for specific scenarios. Any rules will be laid out in the specific format using them.

In Assassin’s Creed how do you pick your target? Is it I pick then you pick?
You pick simultaneously and secretly. I suggest grabbing all your opponents cards that can be targeted and look at them under the table and then reveal who you picked, as your opponent does the exact same thing with your cards.

In Assassin’s creed if you temporarily take control of the target do you win?
Like most Heroscape games, you check for win conditions at the end of the turn after any units would return to their owner’s control, so no.

Great start. I am assuming anything covered in the Advanced FAQ applies as well. Also add:

Airborne Elite and Rechets of Bogdan count toward starting zone spaces/figures.

Huh, for some reason I thought that was official. Thanks! I’ll add this and the ones from Ken’s post to the OP soon™️.

Yes, all official rulings are in play.

Lol, yeah, it’s been a long time coming. I’ve never liked my username (well, I liked it for about a month...), but it’d be confusing to change it too much now. I’m happy with the simplified acronym.
