Had a depressing game with Jack against Rasputina today. She placed 5 ice pillars in the first activation of the first turn. Managed to get two thirds of my crew in 1" of those so moving out of the deployment zone was a drag. Then I wasted 4-5 actions (pulls and lures) to get a Crooked Man in position for a 4 man stagger-earthquake and everything went as planned until I flipped a black joker in the dmg step. The Ice Golem absolutely destroys Monty and with all the shockwaves and blasts my opponent didn't care about terrifying at all. It only went downhill from there.
Is Tina a bad matchup in general? To be fair I've only played Jack a few times in 2nd and this was my first Jack Daw game in 3rd but it felt like an uphill battle from minute one. Any advice for the matchup?
Like the title says. Does the damage from action shockwaves count as damage from a ranged action? The question came up in context with Snowstorms "Middle of the Storm" ability. It might seem like an silly and obvious question but I couldn't find a clear answer for it in the rulebook. If a model is targeted directly with a action the ability would obviously work and reduce the dmg but with an action that produces a shockwave marker that produces a pulse that does the actual dmg we were not sure how to handle it.
