Yesterday in a game, mind control was used to get a second torpedo on the map. They ended under the same opposing character at the end of a turn. The first torpedo went off causing knock back. our question is what happens to the second torpedo? Is it wasted? Does it remain unused? The tokens on the card go away?


PULSE BOLT TORPEDO: Once per game, give Silver Centurion a power action to put a Torpedo special terrain marker on the map in an adjacent square. When the Torpedo is on this map, you may give Silver Centurion a free action, put an Acceleration token on this card and then move the Torpedo equal to the number of Acceleration tokens on this card as if it were a character with "wing symbol" and Improved Movement: Ignores Characters. At the beginning or end of your turn, if the marker's square is occupied by an opposing character, you must remove the marker from the map and make a close combat attack roll against that character with an attack value of 11 and a damage value equal to the number of Acceleration tokens on this card, maximum 7.

The second torpedo does not trigger, and continues to gain/use Acceleration tokens as normal until it explodes.

That's how we played it. But we questioned it.

What happens with the knock back? Are they knocked away from Silver Centurion?

Since it has been ruled that it is Silver Centurion that's doing the attack the Knock back would be relative to him.

Each action (torpedo) resolves separately. So the character being knocked out of the torpedo square by the first torpedo would leave no character in the square of the second torpedo by the time actions come back around to it.


But it does seem slightly odd.

Thank you, sir!
