I think you are both in agreement here please lets not let semantics ruin the fact that we are all clear on how the ability works.

Malcontent-Khyron

Each Attack die requires its own opposed Dodge Die ( with certain missile exceptions) so using your example a VF1-A uses 2 Command points in battleoid mode and fires his GU-11 gun pod 3 times. lets say he is shooting at a Glaug with piloting 3 and a defense of 7. The VF1-A rolls a 4,5,6 plus his Gun...

Malcontent-Khyron

I'm pretty sure rules as written If it's inescapable it cannot be dodged, I don't see anything in the rules that his ability allows him to dodge that which cannot be dodged. I appreciate your question because obviously you are keeping the fluff in mind and in a campaign or a friendly game I would no...

Malcontent-Khyron

The only time You only pay 1 cp to dodge more than one "attack" is with a missile volley because the entire volley is treated as a single attack. Other than that it's always 1 cp per attack period.

Malcontent-Khyron

Incorrect Every model under the template did indeed roll. but even when they got a 6 it only canceled 1 missile.
And still the results weren't great 6's aren't exactly easy to roll consistently.

Malcontent-Khyron

And to clarify The points cost on any force card to upgrade to veteran. Only applies to the units on that force card, Not anything attached. I'm sure you've already figured that out but it bears repeating.

Malcontent-Khyron

With Flying and Jumping massive anti grave capable mecha and such silly fantastic things I don't find it odd at all to attack a flyer in melee. But don't forget the MOST important part of them not being engaged. First they can leave combat whenever they want with no command points So on So on... ALS...

Malcontent-Khyron

After reading the Changes it seemed obvious that it was in the spirit of Less dice faster game play. I loved the idea whole heartedly. However we found one kinda Major loophole that I think may not have been noticed. Allow me to try to explain (and hopefully i'm just doing something wrong). Our loca...

Malcontent-Khyron

Wow Interesting question because. Rules are written I agree with you 100%. -Though I do have a feeling the intention of the rules might be(might) they meant for someone within 2" of the target to share damage. So far we have always played It as 2" from the target but, honestly I never even...

Malcontent-Khyron

Yea if you only pay the veteran cost from the force card then only the mecha coming with the force card are vets. Additional 6 man support units have to pay the additional 10 points a peice to be veterans.

Malcontent-Khyron

I agree to some extent but i definately think custom characters should be reserved for campaigns and moderated events and not used in tourneys.

Malcontent-Khyron

I agree with you 100%

Malcontent-Khyron

Well done sir all around, probly the best painted Jet mode I've seen yet

Malcontent-Khyron

I hope your wrong(athough you may be correct) the Model range released for zent, are too limited to sustain the game alone for long. I think UEDF players could probly stay fully enthralled for the next year before getting their new toys but. Zentredi need a few of these things sooner than later. Not...

Malcontent-Khyron

Let's not minimize the matter regarding "winning a free mini or two". Whether there's $10 on the line or $10,000 (or hell, just bragging rights), a rules set will be stretched to the breaking point in both directions; the most hardcore and literal interpretations of the rules, versus the ...

Malcontent-Khyron

Yeah, PB dropped the ball on this one, key faction defining traits and rules need to be in the rule book, it's called a rule book for a reason, but hey at least they made sure to include all kicks and power punches. "Dropped the Ball?" Really? I actually agree it should have be added in t...

Malcontent-Khyron

I'd go the comedic route of PC headbutts glass takes 1d6 sdc lol.

Malcontent-Khyron

no mecha can still block line of sight.

Malcontent-Khyron

I would guess He simply painted white around already blacked in lines.

Malcontent-Khyron

Looking at the unit lists there is No VF1-D units currently available untill wave 2 so, even though it is possible to build them with the standard Valk kit they don't have a point cost because they aren't currently unavailable.

Malcontent-Khyron

That is Also how we have been playing it in Vegas.

Malcontent-Khyron

That blast template is so much more readable now.

Malcontent-Khyron

that Rick looks rad man. Cant wait to see you do a roy...Hint hint.

Malcontent-Khyron

I'd drop the Spartan squad, and add the Scorpio artillery option (15 pts) to the fire support squadron. Inescapable, indirect, anti-missile proof blast weapons are killer. With the other 15 pts, take a destroid command upgrade (10pts) With the extra 5 pts, I'd also drop the nose lasers (with so man...

Malcontent-Khyron

I'd love to pop by and help support some fellow MA's. I have no idea where adventure hall is where is this being held?

OOPs just read Adeptacon in the title... Feeling like a dummy. I'll try to make it Gas and wife permiting.

Malcontent-Khyron

I love your enthusiasm and I agree with a few good points but I really feel like most of this is not errata/FAQ unofficial or not, It's damn near a game rewrite, no official rules change would ever be so massive save for a whole new edition that being said they seem like fun house rules but, for fai...

Malcontent-Khyron

All upgrades and modifications should be in the book, not just on the cards. Similar to point values for mech's. Point Value simply Is never calculated per mech so it really can't be added in the book. there are some obvious general guidlines like a VF1-A usually rounds out to 20 points and so on. ...

Malcontent-Khyron

Nice Battle report, I am noticing Zentraedi Don't win much in your blog though. Need some tactical pointers for em?

Malcontent-Khyron

I love your blog and read it all the time. I do have one slight correction this time however. Prion Galar, Though I agree is worth every point against a unit of Phalanx only boosts speed for free one time.

Malcontent-Khyron

Well done Battle report sir. Something you may want to try in the future. A Zentreadi Player of mine has been taking the 20 point regult character(Prion-Galar i think) and placing him in an attrition squad which he the spreads out all 4 to 5" away from eachother. then boosts speed straight at t...

Malcontent-Khyron

Yea agreed there Axoid. But in a mixed squad like the Malc's love to field It just seems REALLY easy to make a spartan with a nearby Regult or two Impressively hard to kill.

Which by the way I am a fan of. Just wanted to make sure it's legit before I make a part of my day to day tactics.

Malcontent-Khyron

That was the same thing I thought I remembered but, I'm just not finding it.

Malcontent-Khyron

Yesterday I fired a volley from some heavy artiliery Pods one of the missiles that missed the target scattered into my own unit. Specifically there was a Single Spartan destroid and a Single regult pod under the marker. Now me and my opponent discussed it and it seems to me If i use the pod to block...

Malcontent-Khyron

I recently used 4 phalanx in a game with a friend. We had randomly rolled the hazardous conditions which made all shots at -2 to hit and max 24 range. Under these conditions I think the phalanx were even more brutal because I just ran up close to a fully loaded zentraedi attack squad picked a target...

Malcontent-Khyron

Perhaps a rule where the target gets the +2 for cover, giving the Glaug a total defense of 9 and if the shot misses and would have hit the "cover" then the cover is hit? In this case I would say the cover gets a +1 since he is not the primary target. Example: A Glaug in open terrain behin...

Hi, My name is Cliff Robbins, I own and operate Game Empire in San Diego. I am also a huge Robotech fan and am preparing to give this product a big push. It has taken some time to get these difficult, but beautiful, models built and painted. Our demo set is almost ready. My main question is who is ...

Malcontent-Khyron

Also, where does it say that the points spent on being allowed to pilot a craft means they get the craft for free? Far as I know that's entirely the opposite of how special pilots are used in RRT: you pay for the craft, and then can pay points to put a pilot in them. It'd help reduce some of that e...

Malcontent-Khyron

Assuming something is a typo can be super dangerous though. And while I mostly agree with your assessment there are a few things we know without a doubt. LOS only exists if you can create a line between the middle of the attacker and the middle of the defender. Based on that we know that friendlies ...

Malcontent-Khyron

Just downloaded it Works great, Thanks for the advice. I do Keep getting on odd error when I save My list Saying Spartans cant have GU-11 gun pod hidden, and Spartans cant have Shock Baton (hidden) No idea why i'm getting it I paid the 10 points for the GU-11's on my spartans and I dont even have a ...

Malcontent-Khyron

I havent tried them out yet, but the rulebook has a chain of demo scenarios that gradually introduces game mechanics to people, it keeps them nice and simple from what i can tell (2 vf-1a's against 6 battlepods) and gradually increases from there, though with the concession that life is cheap is re...

Malcontent-Khyron

I absolutely Love the Idea of laying down a little +2 or +3 token next to some attacks to show for GN Making dodge rolls easy and quick to calculate.

Malcontent-Khyron

I just Need a single Heavy Zent Infantry and a Monster destroid so I can Finally do my Khyron riding a Monster conversion I'm foaming at the mouth for.

I dig the Traditional Zentradei Very Clean.

The stark Blue and Green of the veritechs is Kinda rade but I think you gotta have some cool squadron names and fluff for those bad boys.

Malcontent-Khyron

Yea I think It was maybe the second time we played when we realized Simultaneous just Had to be done In steps to make sense of it all. Glad you agree Mike, Makes me feel a little more confidednt with our ruling in house.

Malcontent-Khyron

An issue we did run into this weekend with Blast was what happens during a simultaneous attack, when you have 2 blast weapons designated at 2 different targets that happen to overlap each other. Per the rules, after all shots are designated, you then pick one target and resolve all it's attacks. Du...

Malcontent-Khyron

I do find the rules to be rather clear and non ambiguous, If the weapon appears in the discription of the unit. Then it functions that way in all forms hence repid fire. Unless the form changes something. Like no rapid fire for fighter mode, or Additional rapid fire for battleoid with 24" range...

Malcontent-Khyron

The create your own character portion of the rules exists in the back with all the Campaign and RPG conversion stuff. I would say clearly intended NOT to be used in tournaments or even standalone games. However I could see it playing well into a campaign (non RPG) creating fun mission types or objec...

Malcontent-Khyron

I dont say this to be insulting in any way please don't take it as such. But im Very confident that phaze is correct on this assessment. The rules seem pretty clear how they read to me Rapid fire an additional time, means 2cp for 3 shots If a battleoid chooses to fire the gu-11 three times. Obviousl...

All great Ides's thanks guys. Now If they would just fix Grell I could actually do a really Fluffy Malcontent Army
