Alpha

[Jokerboy]

Hi,

I have two questions about Marcus Alpha action.

1. Can he cast Alpha on himself?

2.What happens if a fast Marcus takes the Alpha action on two different beast during his Activation?

1) Its an Attack Action, so no.
2) Pretty sure the 2nd activation just goes bye bye, as you cant chain activate more than 1.

(2) Alpha (Ca 7t/ TN: 15t / Rst: Wp/ Rg: 8): Target Beast activates immediately after this model’s Activation ends. This model controls the target during this Activation. This Activation does not count as the target’s Activation this Turn, but does count as a Chain Activation for this model's Crew.

Chain Activations

Some models will have Abilities that allow them to Activate under certain conditions. The most common of these is the "Companion" Ability, which allows the model to Activate when a friendly model ends its Activation within 6".

These Abilities trump the normal Activation sequence (alternating between players) and can allow one player to Activate two models in a row. However, a player can never declare the use of more than one such Ability between her opponent's Activations. In this way, a player can never Activate more than two models in a row without her opponent having an opportunity to Activate a model.

A model can not use these Abilities to Activate if it is not eligible to Activate normally at that point in the Turn. For instance, a model that has already Activated (and doesn't have the Reactivate Condition) cannot use Companion to Activate again during the Turn.

Because it counts as a chain activation, you're only allowed to benefit from the effects of one of the two successful uses of Alpha.
