First Game - First Questions

[mEdwards]

SnakeKing and I played our first game last night and it went pretty well. We only made it through two turns but enjoyed the heck out of them. During the course of the game, we noted any questions we had so we could get some assistance and better know what we're doing for next time.

- Set Up: We didn't know how deployment and pregame stuff worked. We set up a 30"x30" area and 6" deployment zones on opposing sides. From there, totalled our dominations and then the winner chose who got to deploy a fighter first. We then took turns deploying fighters until all were deployed. Then, with the start of the first turn, the winner of the domination got to decide again who goes first. Is this correct?

- Lemure Summoning: Is this free? I mean, do you just say that you're making a Focalization action, announce the spell, and then place the lemure? That's how we played it since we couldn't find anything that said otherwise. Also, is it possible to summon more than one lemure in one turn by the same fighter? We played this as a 'no' but just wanted to verify.

- Charisma: Do fighters of Charisma benefit from this bonus? We played it as a 'no' and assumed that this bonus was already factored into their CBT scores but obviously wanted to check.

- Orders: Is it possibly to have a fighter issue more than one order during their Activation? Ie. Could a fighter issue a passive and free order during his activation? Or two passives? Could Aidan Saint James use the order to reload his rifle and then use the order to reload the Arquebusiers rifles as well? We played this as a 'no'.

- Combats: A fighter Assaults/Charges a fighter. A melee occurs between the two fighters involved. If the fighter that was Assaulted/Charged was Waiting, when they're activated another melee occurs. Is this correct? We played this as a 'yes'.

I think that's all for now.

Thanks for all of your help.

Sure it is  . The width of your deployment zone can vary, depending of the scenario played. It is generally 5 inches/toises.

- Lemure Summoning: Is this free? I mean, do you just say that you're making a Focalization action, announce the spell, and then place the lemure? That's how we played it since we couldn't find anything that said otherwise. Also, is it possible to summon more than one lemure in one turn by the same fighter? We played this as a 'no' but just wanted to verify.

Invoking a lemure is an Exhausting Focalisation action, as you said. When a mini is acting so, she can do nothing else ( even moving). You announce the spell selected, then you place the lemure in base to base with its infernalist. Only one lemure can be summoned at a turn by the infernalist. The lemure can't activate during the turn it has been summoned.

- Charisma: Do fighters of Charisma benefit from this bonus? We played it as a 'no' and assumed that this bonus was already factored into their CBT scores but obviously wanted to check.

You don't benefit from your own charisma, only the allied miniatures. Two charisma bonuses cannot stack : take the better bonus.

Orders: Is it possibly to have a fighter issue more than one order during their Activation? Ie. Could a fighter issue a passive and free order during his activation? Or two passives? Could Aidan Saint James use the order to reload his rifle and then use the order to reload the Arquebusiers rifles as well? We played this as a 'no'.

Yes, you can play as many pasive and free order as you want, provided you have enough leadership points. Aidan can use " Quick load/rechargement rapide" and " RELOAD !/ RECHARGEZ !" during a single activation : both are passive order. You cannot play more than one active order, though, as it requires a concentration action to work.

- Combats: A fighter Assaults/Charges a fighter. A melee occurs between the two fighters involved. If the fighter that was Assaulted/Charged was Waiting, when they're activated another melee occurs. Is this correct? We played this as a 'yes'.

Each time a model attacks an other model, there is a fight and both minis throw their dices. So you played it well and it is correct.

I just want to say that I was watching snakeking and mEdwards playing last night, and this is a pretty impressive game.  I was already sold on buying it, but now I'm really psyched to start playing.

SK and Mr. Edwards need to be testing more than one game.       Hopefully we  can see that report too.

well, one of us had to leave a little early to pick up their baby so we didnt get to finish HD or testing any other games unfortunately.
