General Questions / Re: Guard and Counterstrike
« on: February 07, 2013, 11:56:28 AM »
Thank you for your quick response, pixelgeek!

It is a bit confusing, since two paragraphs later it outlines that "the counterstrike attack is resolved like a normal attack, starting with step 1: Declare Attack..." And by going back to Step 1 we came across the moment where guard comes into action.

So for a future update of the Codex or an official FAQ, it might be worthwhile to state that a counterstrike cannot be guarded.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the clarification. It makes perfectly sense that way.

General Questions / Guard and Counterstrike
« on: February 07, 2013, 07:34:58 AM »
Hi together,

First of all I would like to thank Arcane Wonders for this brilliant game! It combines so many genres that I love. The mechanics are so realistic, fun and well-thought-out that me and my playgroup are going to support this game for a very long time. Well done!

Sorry if this question has been asked already, but I couldn't find anything by searching through the forum:

If a friendly creature with the counterstrike trait is melee attacked by an opponent which also has a guarding creature in the same zone, whom is my counterstrike going to hit? Would it be the attacking creature ore the one with guard instead?

I understand the rules that a counterstrike is a completely new attack and therefore forced to hit the guarder (that is how we played it). However, I am not 100% sure if this is correct and it feels odd somehow. I think that a COUNTERstrike should automatically hit the source of the attack regardless of any guarder in the zone.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me to get this straight before the situation occurs again.

Many Thanks
