Biography : First, the Serbs, then the Germans, then the Italians and the Austrians --


Vadim stopped himself, keeping an eye on the battlefield. Nina watched the treeline with binoculars, trying to spot their enemy through the fog in the overcast light.

"Do you think they've evacuated by now?" Nina asked.

Vadim looked back at the city on the hill behind them and grimaced. He then shut and locked the metal door to their pillbox, but his thoughts were occupied. Then the British and the Americans, and --

"I hope so. For their sake," Vadim managed to answer.

"Listen. I hear them."

Guttural voices from the trees. Vadim turned back to watch the distant line as wiry blue-and-brown shapes emerged. From their pillbox, Vadim and Nina looked at each other with the grim determination of comrades, veterans of two wars. Masks adjusted, grenades checked.

"One orc, one bullet, Vadim."

Then the valkyries, then the metal men, then the orcs, then the--

An arrow winged past the pillbox slot. Vadim barely flinched.

"Da. Just like Kovel."

"Well...not just like Kovel. We killed men there."

"We didn't kill men. Just Germans."

A small chuckle before the two comrades pulled the pins on their grenades, and threw them.

OP or a mod, please update the OP with the official bio.

First, the Serbs, then the Germans, then the Italians and the Austrians --

Does the gas grenade thrower need to be activated? I think it is the case because it doesn't say any, it just says one. one of the Activated? Just checking. hard to lob from no direct line of sight and then fire.

It says before attacking, which I believe includes both members of the squad. If the soldier who threw the gas grenade is not in LOS, but the other soldier is, then the second soldier would be able to attack the target that is affected by the gas grenade.

 

[Just_a_Bill]

The text transcript of the special ability does not match what's on the card. Here are the four differences I see:

Gas Grenade Special Attack
Range 5. Lob 12. Attack 1.
Before attacking normally, one 12th Caucasus Rifle Soldier may choose a figure to attack with Gas Grenade Special Attack. No clear line of sight is needed. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by Gas Grenade Special Attack. Roll one attack die once for all affected figures. If you roll a skull, all figures affected by Gas Grenade Special Attack subtract one 1 from their defense dice for the entire turn. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Gas Grenade Special Attack never affects destructable destructible objects of or 12th Caucasus Rifles.

 

[AndreThaGiant]

I believe @superfrog has answered this in the discord already, but for the sake of permanence- can one of the 12th be "targeted" with the grenade to splash adjacent enemy figures? I can see that they are immune to the effects of the grenade, just making sure they can still be utilized as a target for one.

 

[Muskie]

nothing on the card says they cannot be targeted. Only says that they cannot be affected. I would say that you can target them.

 

[Taeblewalker]

nothing on the card says they cannot be targeted. Only says that they cannot be affected. I would say that you can target them.

I concur.

 

[dok]

After some discussion internally this is how we decided we are handling lob attacks like the gas grenade SA for online play:

LOB RULES

In order to target a figure with a ranged attack that has a lob rating, you must satisfy the following criteria:

1. The target's base cannot be more than [lob] levels above the attacker's base.
2. You must either
   • Have clear sight to the target, OR
   • Be able to draw a straight line from the attacker's targeting point to any part of the target that does not pass through an obstacle or terrain feature that is [lob] levels above the attacker.

 

[GUILD_WARRIOR]

Sorry if this is a repeat question. I am not on discord. Does the gas grenade SA inflict a wound on the original target if a skull is rolled, or does it simply trigger the effect?

 

[Myriadite]

Gas Grenade Special Attack​

Range 5. Lob 12. Attack 1.​

Right under the special attack name, there is still an attack value which will cause a wound if not defended. The power is worded very well to establish the sequence of events:

1. Roll one attack die for all affected figures. (The first step. This die is the attack as well as the effect trigger)
2. If you roll a skull, all figures affected by Gas Grenade Special Attack subtract one from their defense dice for the entire turn. (All figures who are defending against this attack, as well as any following attacks this turn, roll one less die. If no skull is rolled, both the attack and the gas effect do nothing)
3. Each figure rolls defense dice separately.
