I've got a bit of a technical question that no one seems to be able to answer for me...

If a fig makes an attack on an adjacent opposing fig, but is also adjacent to a friendly flyer, would the grounded fig need to roll to break away, if picked up and carried out of battle directly after attacking?


X X O <-- opposing figure
X G X <-- Attacking
F X X <-- Flyer

Thanks in advance :D

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. As long as your flier starts adjacent to the friendly fig it's carrying away, then no, no breakaway is needed.

I got to thinking about it earlier, as it would seem an excellent tactic to use if by chance you're attacking with someone on a regeneration click, rather than using that turn to regen. Those clicks tend to have pretty good attack and damage numbers, but seem to get wasted a lot due to the necessity of the regeneration.

Breakaway is required when a figure moves as a result of being given a move, power or free action. Being carried is not movement and therefore doesn't require breakaway, except when Construct is involved. The taxi would have to break away if it was adjacent to an opposing figure however.

Thanks BoT, this will definitely come in handy some time. :D
