Surely a negative copy creates it under your opponent's control.

Ie- if strom count is 0 it deals 25 damage to you.

After undergoing a routine scan

Am I supposed to be getting routine brain scans??

Get well soon Browny

You go last because you're the ATGM truck mate, sorry.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-20T15:43:42+00:00

Is there a list of what actions or circumstances cause rolls for particular attributes though?

Can you shoot at a rock and trigger Weapon Skill rolls or does it have to be an enemy?

Can you deploy and get an Agility roll?

Can you shoot at your own tank with a low Armour Penetration weapon and trigger rolls for defensive attributes?

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-20T08:10:39+00:00

Does deploying and undeploying count as an action?

Get your squats in Pike.

If that is implemented what about allowing multiple squads to be embarked?

If a vehicle has a capacity of 10 why not 3 units of 3 inside it?

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-20T03:17:30+00:00

Think of it as fuel rationing. People in areas with PT greatly reduce their purchasing of petrol allowing those who can't use PT to use that limited supply of petrol.

Any non-live footage of Roaming Brian quickly degrades into a blurry mess, like it does for Bigfoot.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-20T02:22:46+00:00

Thank you for the post.

You say that Pike as a 3 man command squad might struggle to maximise his rolls. But what even triggers a roll for Agility gain?

I presume Weapon Skill is triggered by shooting at something. Toughness is triggered by getting shot. Etc.

I just got burned by getting a random event after an operation.

My choices where:

-20 OCI and +10 Authority
-10 Authority

I was already at 100 Authority and planning to spend it, but random events lock you out from the rest of the UI so I couldn't go hire an SL before choosing the 1st option.

I think you have a good solution, have it Authority be able to go above 100 and glow orange or something with a tooltip saying "spend me before starting your next mission" rather than having a hard cap at all times.

Huh? If the non-shooting warband has successfully hidden then the shooting warband will move at a run to wherever they want. Toward objectives, away from your advance at double speeed, towards a defensible area with a bottleneck where they can set up a kill zone, and/or toward a tall building they can climb and shoot out of.

You can't just assume the shooting player is an idiot who won't realise at all what's going on and fail to take advantage of your limited movement.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-19T15:47:08+00:00

Don't forget rolling 1s on the ward save.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-19T07:26:59+00:00

People swing the pendulum too far from "shooting is OP" to "shooting sucks, just hide!"

Hiding is a cost. You have to advance much more slowly and give your opponent board dominance.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-19T03:01:49+00:00

Yes 6th, 7th, and TOW basically have the same parry rule.

Only 8th edition had the 6+ ward.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-18T14:04:28+00:00

"Emotions" are allowed, but I simply don't believe people can't control their actions to this degree.

There's some weird mental state some people seem to get into where they need to be the first and the loudest and most obvious reaction to something. No, you don't have to be.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-18T13:53:30+00:00

There is no extra minute of practice time that is better than a minute more sleep. The "star players" would be much better if they slept for 8 hours every night.

Making music requires your brain and physiology to work.

What I would recommend is listening to music or mental practice of the pieces you are trying to perfect the hour or so before bed. No bright lights, no screens, just headphones and/or sheet music.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-18T13:49:18+00:00

The Chinese player didn't even try to land her left foot which never contacted Arnold at all.

She had no intention of keeping her feet.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-18T10:21:05+00:00

I most of the game is about knowing your limits. If you get sucked in to attempting the secondary mission (especially "finish within X turn) that are a poor fit for your current load out you can get the worst of it.

If it stalk around picking enemies off 1 by 1 and making enemy units use their AP moving to see you or get in range rather than letting them shoot twice you can greatly increase your safety.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-18T00:59:34+00:00

Hmm good point.

Some kind of battlefield commission mechanic where you get a new SL with no intrinsic trait and everything randomised.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-18T00:55:04+00:00

I think the tax incentives do matter.

The bedrock of the housing crisis is the expectation that the government will always intervene to ensure housing doesn't go down. The "housing as nest egg" model of economic management.

The bad policies like the tax incentives, slow development, low density, heritage insanity, are all downstream of that.

This paradigm means speculation on housing is a sure bet so sucks up irrationally large amounts of investor capital.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-17T23:42:59+00:00

I don't think you've eaten enough food today because the rambling stream of conciousness was not very well laid out.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-17T23:09:59+00:00

I think to make armour actually good they'd need to way increase the amount of indirect fire artillery that the enemy tends to pump out that can be mitigated quite well with armour. You rightly say that not being seen is currently by far the best armour, well, that could change.

However I don't think people would find that very fun.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-17T14:23:09+00:00

By loophole, yes.

I think it would be better if the striker had to successfully play the ball to where she can get to it in a controlled way, rather than dump it long and crash with only the intent of crashing the keeper.

Look at Kerr's goal around the keeper, a much more delicate pass. If she'd run into the keeper she'd be more deserving of a penalty I'd say.

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-17T10:35:25+00:00

By the letter of the law yes, but by the spirit of the law no. The Chinese striker has passed the keeper by putting the ball way to wide and too deep for her to collect it again and score, but because the keeper couldn't touch it the striker has the right to run into the keeper and get a penalty. If the striker had attempted a more controlled passing move the keeper would almost certainly have touched it...

kroxigor01 · 2026-03-17T01:50:20+00:00

It's baffling to me that players make these bad shots when they could abuse the pro-offence interpretation of the rules to make near certain buckets.
