Queen Bee in the new set has 2 arrows and mind control. Can she mind control 2 people and have them attack each other. I don't use mind control very often and I'm not sure, but it would Rock if she could.

Unfornately NO using the current rules. Think about Morgan LeFey (3 target MC).

Since a MC target becomes a friendly figure to your team, both MC targets would be considered on the same team. The rules specifically state, friendly figures can not attack each other. However, you could MC both figures and have them attack other opposing figures.

NEW FAQ REQUIRED
Because MC was down graded during the last rules revision, I am hoping they will change the FAQ and allow you to attack any figure that did not start on your team. I thing this would be re-balance the MC power. This would better reflect the power also. IMHO

Good Question!

Oh well, thats what I thought. I had hopped they would change it also. Still being able to MC 2 figures and have them attack 1 team mate is pretty cool also.

I am at work, with no info in front of be. But, as I recall, when you MC more then one figure they both become friendly. Then as soon as you complete an action with one of them, he would not be frindly any more. So you could do something like this. Morgan LeFay MC's both both V Cyclops and R Rhino. You can use your action to move Cyclops adjacent to Rhino. After you move Cyclops, he becomes an opposing figure again. You can then pound him with Rhino with his action.

At the time the attack is successful, both figures (assuming both are hit) are considered friendly to the MCer and each other, so therefore cannot attack each other.

After one of those 2 figures uses his action, control immediately reverts back to the owners control, while the secong figure is still considered friendly to the MCer.

Since the 2 controlled figs are no longer considered friendly to each other, the second figure could, if possible, attack the first figure.



Hope this helps...

Or.... if you have more than two figures to deal with (sigh) the first one you MCed can attack other figures (just not the second one you MCed) and then you could attack all the other figures with the second one.

I would still like to see an offical ruling on this. I agree that since MC got the downgrade and doesn't give tokens anymore it should be allowed to be split like Incap and EExplosion and such. But so far I can't see anything for or against it. Seems like a good way to show how someone can control more than one person if they are a better mind controller.

Seams quite clear that you can target more than 1 figure for MC.

Unless you were talking about something else....?

You can also, if you MC both figures, command Figure 1 to do something simple. Like move right up to Figure 2. Fig1 since its done is action is now hostile. Fig2 can now beat the crud out of Fig1.

Even if the move is just 1 square, it's still a complete action and reverts MC back. How's that useful? Well, check the Defense of both figs. One may be easier to control and would only make a nice secondary piece, so you hedge your bets for the action.

My point was I wanted the 2 MC figures to attack each other.

thats all.

That is not possible. You can have the secong figure to act attack the first one (who would no longer be friendly), but you could not have the first figure attack the second (as has already been stated).

I know, but I was hoping I would be able to.

My favorite is have Fig. 1 fly Fig. 2 away. Since an MCed character taking an action is only taking a FREE ACTION Fig. 2 can then beat the snot out of Fig. 1 despite having been taxied.
