    VIDEO ERRATA (Pls let me know if you find any others and I'll add them!)
    If all your surviving fighters have one or more charge tokens you can indeed make a move action, only superactions aren't allowed.
    Place feature tokens: keep the tokens face down until you have placed them. You may NOT look at them beforehand.

      at 20:05 Mattias rolled 2 hammers, and you 2 shields, although thats not a hit, isnt it a "tie" which means Mattias could have driven you back? (I think you maybe had that plot that stopped you getting driven back but I thought it was good to point out that ties are not the same as misses for some things, like driving back, right?)

      Can you move multiple times also with a move token?

      @@OlafThorsson3 Yes, I made a separate comment on this topic but sadly I cant have more than 1 of them pinned. There is no limit to how many move tokens a fighter can have or the ammount of move actions they can do (other than your number of activations I guess). There is actually nowadays a ton of objectives that scores of off fighters having more than 1 move token =)

    With videos like this you are bound to miss a couple of things! One important thing I forget to mention is regarding the move action and move tokens. A fighter with one or more "move tokens" may be activated again with the exception for superactions (charge, scything, barge) but may still make further move actions, attack actions, guard action and stun aswell as fighter card specific actions (as long as they are not superactions, for exampe Cyreni's "Hammertide" action. My overlay was from an older rulebook unfortunately

    I'm a bit late to the party, but i just started playing and have some questions and hopefully you can help me out.
    1. Salvage - in a power step i can play power cards, salvage and so on. Can i play a power card -> enemy power step -> my "2nd" step i would salvage. Or does it mean if i choose salvage I can't play a power card at all?
    2. Salvage - Can I salvage more than once (if I have the restricted cards) in a power step?
    3. Can I drive back with magic attacks? Or does "trapped" work with a magic attack?

    • @criticalfocuschannel
      @criticalfocuschannel  6 місяців тому +1

      Welcome!
      So 1) in the power step you and your opponent take turns playing power cards, salvaging , passing or delving starting with the player who activated. If you salvage it simply means it goes back to the other player to do one of those things, it does not hinder you from, once its back to you to play a power card etc.
      2) yes, you can salvage more than once =)
      3) yes you can drive back with a magic attack and yes trapped works on all attacks (but not on damage dealt from other sources such as ploys or gambit spells)
      Hope that helps =)

    Complete beginner here, a couple of questions.
    1. My set (Wintermaw) has 9 objective numbered objective tokens but the manual says to only use 1-5 with nothing indicating a use for the other four numbered ones. Am I overlooking something or misunderstanding?
    2. In this video it appears you've placed some environmental/decorative pieces around the edges of the board. Do these have any effect on gameplay?

    • @criticalfocuschannel
      @criticalfocuschannel  2 місяці тому +1

      @@CaitlynZ Of course!
      1) the 1-5 are the ones used in the 2 player mode. The others are only used in 3 or 4 player mode so you're doing it right!
      2) no they do not! They are only placed in incomplete hexes or outside the board and those do not have a gameplay effect! Hope that helps.

    nice video but OMG did they change the rules AGAIN with chargeout? (13:33) I thought the rule for having all fighters charged out let you activate them again INCLUDING MOVE, ie they cannot do superactions (like charge) but they can still move. Otherwise whats the point (most fighters dont have ranged attacks). I am looking at p27 in Deathgorge rulebook
    A ghter with one or more Charge tokens cannot be
    activated unless each surviving friendly ghter has one
    or more Charge tokens. When a ghter with one or more
    Charge tokens is activated, that ghter cannot make a
    superaction (pg 25).
    PS I know English is a bit mad but words like Strength, length etc are "th" at the end, there aren't any english words ending in "ht" like that :)
    PS
    I have completely missed that you can check objectives before placing, we have been doing them blind!
    nope sorry guys unless this is a new WIntermaw rule this is also wrong, you are not supposed to see the objective numbers before placing them.
    Shue the ve numbered tokens with the cover hex side
    face up. Deal three to the player that chose the rst game
    board, and two to the other player. Keeping the numbered
    sides hidden, the players take it in turns to place the feature
    tokens on the battleeld, starting with the player that chose
    the rst game board.
