New 2.0 Defense Special Ability

Ohh, I wanna take a stab that Submerge is Infiltrate except for Water terrain :)

Isn't this the same as the MW sbility? It will defineatly make v2.0 interesting depending on whether or not this unit has a ranged attack or not. I have a feeling it will be on ranged figs. v2.0 has some interesting SA's that's for sure. Still waiting for the complete rules set tho.

Submerge is the inflitrating into water...

####, this looks good

I wonder what the rules are concerning infiltrate and placement of the objectives. Preliminary scouting and recon or a full out tank plopped right on to your or near to your opponents objective.

Very cool.

Wow.

Now imagine I've placed objectives, terrain, armies, and I infiltrate a really cool piece to threaten my opponent....

...and they reveal the most recently previewed Domain card that states "remove all terrain."

My infiltrated piece is left holding his Jimmy for all the opposing forces to see.

;)

hmm.... i like this ability's "wording" more than the current wording of the SE in MW, it's like spending an action to move the figure beforehand.

Next thing ya know there will be tank drops :D I like the fact that some of the more interesting SA's from the other clix games are being used, it will add some extra dimensions to troop deployments.

Quick question for all, what does LOL mean? Is it Laugh Out Loud or Lots Of Luck. Just wondering.

I've seen both versions used but most of the time its for Laugh out Loud.

I've never been horribly impressed with this ability...a similar one exists in MechWarrior.

Personally, I preferr keeping my forces together.

that would be why people have said domains should not be optional. Or maybe that it is good that they are optional. Just agree to not play domains and no problems.

cheers,

Bob

Speaking of lol, that was funny Isabee.

Well, this one seems to say that you only deploy in terrain. My understanding was that the MW one permitted you to move figures out farther (Like 26" in some cases), and not necessarily in hindering.

Me likes. Now, watch it end up on the last click of some figure... :D

Infiltrate USED to allow everything to deploy 2x its move characteristic outside of the deployment zone, terrain or not. It has since been nerfed to only allow vehicles and infantry that privilidge, while mechs are stuck with just the move characteristic advantage. I like this idea, i really do, i will be interested to see it's interaction with blasted wasteland, though. Do you play domain cards before or after you've set up your army? i.e. before or after infiltration.

Someone mentioned tank drops, those have always existed in MK, it happens when you realize your tank is useless, and drop it out the nearest window...
