    Can I attack an area with dragons (trigger battle against an opponent - in rules OUT OF COMBAT) and gain a loyalty token at the same time, after winning that battle and gaining control of the land...or not?

    Seeing an alien for the first time might trigger taking a point of stress, but a panic attack is pretty harsh and not RAW (GM discretion of course). If it’s a Stalker, Scout, Drone, Soldier, Sentry Attack #2 on their table can trigger a panic attack. Target would also be knocked down and drop whatever is in hand. Taking damage first time triggers added point of stress. So, range is a matter of zones and for each scenario you run you’ll want to be aware of the zones and make the players aware also. I would put all those minis in the same zone, so SHORT RANGE with no modifiers. 6 damage (though as you corrected, shouldn’t have been 6) would put down a lot of xenos. Only the Drone or tougher have 7 health. Important for players, especially experienced ones, to know what class of xeno they are fighting. I see later on you were using SOLDIERS with 8 health. With the exception of too much damage on marine knife attack, you handled the acid splash perfectly! With the exception of too much damage on marine smart gun, you handled xeno death perfectly! 11:00 - You started your marines with a lot of stress and it’s hard to believe none of them rolled a facehugger by now on their attacks. Conclusion - when you fix the damage and address the zones issue, you’ll find 4 marines vs 3 soldiers to be VERY UNLIKELY for any marines to survive. Also, the stress mechanic didn’t rear its head here at all and that seems unlikely, can happen, but unlikely to have rolled no facehuggers. Overall, you’re getting it down and yes, bouncing around in the book to find rules is not fun. Great job!

    Annnnd I already see something I did incorrectly, which was to multiply the successes x the weapon's damage. Which is not correct- I should just do that for the first success, with each other "6" only counting for 1 damage as they're stunts.

    If a dragon fly and win a battle occupying that area, then the next turn it got attacked and lose, it is destroyed because it cannot fly to retreat is that correct?

    • @BattleHardenedGames
      @BattleHardenedGames 4 роки тому

      It can't fly when retreating that next turn, but it can still retreat normally (so long as it has a place to retreat to). The rulebook notes for example that the dragon could retreat through a ship like other units. In other words they can still retreat in the same way as other units- they just can't fly in doing so.

    How does the port work?

    • @BattleHardenedGames
      @BattleHardenedGames 5 років тому

      Ports are one of the most complicated things in the game. At a high level they are their own areas that you can have units in, and units there must be assigned their own orders. Units there count as armies that count against supply limits. Some tricky rules about ports: they can never have more than 3 ships, if ships are there and the land area connected to the port is taken over by an opponent, the ships can be replaced by ships of the opponent, ships there can support battles in the adjacent sea area, or raid that adjacent sea area.

  • @BattleHardenedGames
    @BattleHardenedGames 5 років тому

    One important Targaryen rule that I eluded to but did not cover: During the bidding on the influence tracks, the Targaryen player can bid with their power tokens (even though they themselves cannot advance up any of the tracks and are always in the 8th position of each track). After bids are revealed, the Targaryen player decides which other players to give their power tokens to (the Targaryen player can distribute the tokens to other players however they see fit). Players receiving these power tokens CANNOT refuse them (so that's different than the ability that all players now have to gift power tokens, which receiving players are allowed to refuse).

      Hi Peter I was interpreting "attack" to mean a ship/ships using a march order to move onto land, which is not allowed. Assigning a support order to ships, to lend their strength to a battle that has been initiated by land units moving onto a space is allowed.

    Great video, I'm going to send this to my GoT gaming group so they're aware of everything they can do and cards that can be played against them. One correction - you mustered a ship into the Sea of Dorne, but can only muster ships into the sea where the port connects the mustering land area to the sea, in this case only into the East Summer Sea.

    • @jasonhuffman1404
      @jasonhuffman1404 6 років тому

      Are you deriving the correction from the 2nd paragraph under "Using Ports" on Page 25 of the rules? I am unclear on whether, when it says the "adjacent sea area".... what are they saying the sea area is adjacent to? Are they referring to the port, or to the land area? You can muster into the sea from spaces that don't even contain a port, so long as the space has a castle or stronghold, so I wouldn't assume that there would be a restriction that would result in the areas you can deploy ships to being more restrictive for a space with a port, than a space without a port. Interested in your take on it. Thanks!

No, you cannot move directly from a port to across the direct sea area and into the adjacent sea area. That requires multiple march orders. If you already had one ship in the sea area directly outside the port, you could stagger march orders so that your ship comes out of the port and then both or either of the ships in that sea use the next march order to move into the next sea area.

      @@BattleHardenedGames Been playing this game consistently for around 4 years now. Stark has 2 wins total over the course of the +100 games we've played. Imho, Roose is not overpowered, but compensating for Stark map placement. 1 Stronghold and 2 castles, 1 of which is often on enemy borders, so very little flexibility with mustering. Not to mention the importance of having ships as starks for early defense and late game offense. You still have to pay for his ability by loosing a battle, meaning both using a march order and risking loosing units. Worst case scenario, you try get his ability in a meaningless battle, attacking with 1 footman. Your opponent reads your play and makes sure he looses the battle with sufficient forts on his card. Roose is now wasted. Depends the level you and your mates are playing at I suppose, but I can't say Roose single handedly has affected the few wins Stark has. Balon is way more op.
