A judge at a tourney today said that you can't use range when you use HSS. I asked him why, and he said that all HSS attacks must end in a close combat action.

Is this a new rule or does this Judge need to lay off the pipe? Any help please.

well he was wrong! tell him to look at the powers and abilities card under Hpyersonic speed and quote 3rd lines "The character may make a ranged or close combat attack at any time during his or her move" the end.

He needs to lay off the pipe. That is one of the advantages of OWAW Superman and Amazo. They can start in soaring mode, swoop down in a HSS attack at range, then return up to soaring mode. Very tough to defend against.

Thank you very much. That's what I thought. I checked the PAC before posting this and it seems very self explanatory, don't know what he was thinking, but it sure made my Amazo less usable today.!

It depends on if you are talking about Option 1 (the drive-by attack), or Option 2 (the standing multi-hit attack).

If he is talking about Option 1, he needs to lay off the pipe.

If he is talking about Option 2, then he is correct, and can stay on the pipe.

Well in either case I wish he'd lay off the pipe.
