Facebook....wrong!??? Go figure.

I think that explains it well enough for us...."other" excludes/"all" includes; basically. Thanks all for the input.

Thanks for the replies all, but...not sure if I've gotten the answer to my actual question. I fully realize that the Vik's 'Flight of Dragons' and 'Dragons Bite' are not aura's...they are tactical actions NOT described as aura's OR pulses on their applicable cards. Therein lies the difficulty...the rulebook clearly states who or who is not included in auras and pulses, but nowhere is it 100% clearly indicated exactly what models are included in these tactical actions. The descriptions state "ALL FRIENDLY SISTER MODELS", and we were not completely sure as to whether or not this description alluded to the model performing the action as well. The phrasing is less than crystal clear, as you could argue that using the term 'friendly sister model' means OTHER THAN THE CASTER. Anyone aware of FAQ relating to this, or/and a previous ruling? Thanks again for any assistance.

Well Seregon, I beg to differ on your conclusion regarding 'Legend to Live up to"...it is displayed as an aura on his card, and according to p50 Aura's..."By default, all objects within the aura's area, including the model it is centered on..." clearly indicates that Von Schill IS INCLUDED in this ability.

We came up with a couple of situations tonight, and neither of us could definitively answer the questions that arose regarding these abilities. Firstly; Viktoria of Blood Tactical Action Flight of Dragons, reads "All friendly sister models within 2" and LOS of the target may immediately take a (1) MI acion....etc. Then push all sister models within 2"...etc." We agree the push includes her, (it states 'all') but does the 1st portion include Viktoria of Blood, or, only other 'friendly' models? Viktoria of Ashes' Dragons Bite tactical action raises the same question....does it include her as well within the "all friendly sisters within 6""? It was the Vik's against Von Schill and regarding Von Schill's 'A Legend to Live Up To' ability..."all other friendly freikorps models within 'aura' 6"...etc. As it is an aura, we realize it includes this model, but the above actions are not auras, so a little unclear as to whether or not the 'active' model is included. Thanks in advance for any responses.

OK...we kinda' figured we had it wrong...at least the gremlin player did! LOL. Thanks all for the insights. Good hunting.

So, last game I played, I used Sonnia's (0) Inferno spell (models w/in 3" pulse of this model suffer 3 Dg at the start of the closing phase) after activating her and moving. The spell hit a couple of gremlins. They had not been activated as of yet. They then activated and moved away from Sonnia. Then came the closing phase...and my question. Do they still suffer the 3 Dg as per the spell description, "at the start of the closing phase", OR because they are no longer w/in 3" of Sonnia, is the Dg ignored? We played that they do suffer the Dg, as the general pulse description describes the effect as immediate. We are however, having second thoughts and think we may have been mistaken, and that for the Inferno spell/pulse to be damaging, the targets need to be w/in 3" of Sonnia at the start of the closing phase. Thoughts anyone?

Hello all; My name is Len, and I got interested in Malifaux via the wonder of the internet, and through discussion with a friend, who with, I was (and still do) play 28mm WW2 wargames. I've picked up two starter boxes, Guild and Outcasts, and am looking forward to my FIRST game. He and I, and of course a few others belong to a small gaming club in northern Ontario, Canada. Most are focused on Flames of War, but I am confident that once a few of them see a game of Malifaux in action...they will be converted.
