Challenges

Sunday must be my day for having thoughts occur to me........

If characters in AoA are supposed to go round battling each other by preference why not have challenges - where no one else can take part in the "show"

Its occured in the games I've played while the two champions are slugging it out the models to either side in base contact are getting a lick in as well.

Not too sure where this would come in the flow of things - my inclination is round about declaring charges (and challenges!)

If the hero is bought with a unit and they lose then the unit they're attached to would have to take a break test............

Thoughts anyone?

  1. That is strange... in AoA there are no challenges as characters have to battle against characters until there are no ones left, then they can hit standard troops, but it is also the other way around: troops must fight against standard troops until there are no more left in the enemy unit, then (and only then) can they hit characters, so what do you mean when you say "Its occured in the games I've played while the two champions are slugging it out the models to either side in base contact are getting a lick in as well."?

  2. Its happened a few times. My opponent tends to buy characters with the unit so they cant leave and move round by themselves. The character is therefore always typically at the front of a rank and file unit with a couple of other models flanking him/her/it. Therefore being in corner base contact the two standard troops could get an attack in on my character as well.......the rules say PREFER TO attack, not MUST ATTACK other characters......I've not checked the exact wording and we dont use the playtest package.
