One more thing to keep in mind:

The Podo trick will only work if you go first, but do realize by going first, you'll have to get a LOW roll, which is really hard to do, and keep your opponent from playing a Domain which matters, or a terrain pieces where your token is.

For those who didn't notice: you have to put your objective token at least Xinches away from your starting area, where X is the number you rolled to see who goes first.

Edge of starting area = 3"
Average roll = 7"

So, Podo would have to double time it to the objective, and hope his opponent rolled high enough so he couldn't get to his objective on his turn.

Anyway, here's a Gen Con Clixdojo preview: www.clixdojo.com

If I had missed something, post it here!

Thats not how Podo works though. He starts demo, so the game ends. Once it ends, if the amount of points are equal, the army that is less points wins. Podo is a 3 point army.

Its not going to stay like that, the current rules only allow that because the demo has no figures that start as demoralized.

I'll throw another figure into the discussion. How about a Tormented Soul ? You simply double time your first action (hopefully you have first action) and he dies. No one has captured an objective and you win because you had the lowest build total.

Makes you want to go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!

Neat trick on both, but if your opponent goes first with a fast mover he'll capture an objective, so you'll only win 50% of the time.

So true, and I seriously doubt any sane MK player would only bring a Podo or TS to a tourney, but wouldn't it be fun to watch the face of your opponent when you bring out your TS and smile at him. What a hoot....may be worth a loss just to see their expression. The question is what do you do with the other 49 minutes and 30 seconds ?

Personally, I think we all need to just hold tight until the rules are released and find out what WK's has planned for us.

Steve

I believe they won't just let you win the game because your build total is lower.

I think that rule only applies if you both lose figures that tie the score up.

I think 2.0 won't have anything to do with it. You can't use a Tormented Soul because you take Surge/Double Time damage before the move.
