4thstringer Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 So, when you control an enemy model's interact action, and you make them drop a marker, do you drop one of your markers or one of theirs. Previously I thought it was one of theirs, but looking at the rules is states that when a model drops a marker, it is friendly to the crew that controlled the model dropping the marker. That would suggest they drop a marker for the guild side. Do I have that right? EDIT: Would this be the same for obeys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thstringer Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ok follow up: This doesn't work for Turf war because the model isn't changing it's friendly or neutral status, and it isn't dropping the marker, it is just changing the status.

Legislat Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Actually it does. When you control this interact action model is considered to be friendly to you, so you can change the marker status from enemy to neutral and from neutral to friendly using enemy (friendly for the duration of the interact) model.

That doesn't agree with what it says on page 26, bottom of the first row: "Regardless of control the model does not change which models it considers friendly. Control changes who makes the decisions, it does not change the Crew to which the model belongs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the bullet point in Markers (page 28 of the PDF) Quote When a model Drops a Marker, it is friendly to the Crew controlling the model that Dropped it. In M2E, in the Scheme Markers callout box was the opposite statement: Quote This Scheme Marker is always considered friendly to the crew of the model that placed it, regardless of who controlled the Interact Action. In M3E, control changes who the marker is friendly to. Edit: Sorry, I misread the thread and didn't realize that that's where you were starting from; and had moved on to the Turf War argument.

solkan Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Exclusive Interview says: Quote When an enemy model within 2 takes the Interact Action, it is treated as a friendly model and the Action is controlled by this model. That part in red is contradicting the main rulebook: Quote Regardless of control the model does not change which models it considers friendly. Control changes who makes the decisions, it does not change the Crew to which the model belongs Per Breaking The Rules, "When a special rule explicitly contradicts the core rules, follow the special rule rather than the core rule." If you someone just tried to use Obey or something, that wouldn't work. But Obey just has "controlled" and doesn't include the bit about being friendly.

Tiaburn Stedd Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Question regarding the Interact in 'Deliver a message': If an enemy model tries to do this to my Leader and is in range of my model "Exclusive Interview" ability, does it mean, that I am as controlling player may choose 'Drop a marker' version (for example) and sabotage Scheme completion?

Dark Reaper Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Or "pick up every marker in btb". Nellie is immune to deliver a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowNot2Wargame Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Yeah when you obey, they drop their own scheme marker as they are still friendly to their crew. Nellie dumps on that with her exclusive interview and you can control whatever interact it will be. So much fun if I could find someone playing showgirls who hadn't realised that,. I don't like gotcha's but I couldn't resist that one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that differently. Page 26 of the electronic rules Friendly models, Markers, and terrain are those that have been hired into your Crew, and those Summoned, Dropped, or Created by your Crew. Enemy models, Markers, and terrain are those that have been hired into the opponent’s Crew, and those Summoned, Dropped, or Created by the opponent’s Crew and later on Regardless of control, the model does not change which models it considers friendly and which it considers an enemy. Control changes who makes the decisions; it does not change the Crew to which the model belongs. When a model drops a marker with an interact action, it drops a marker that is friendly to it, and so therefore friendly to the crew that hired it in most cases. Obey does not change who it considers friendly. Exclusive interview does change who it considers friendly though so it would let you drop markers that are friendly to you and not markers that are enemy to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 That could make it a good investment to bring a model with Obey with Dashel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edegan Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Related item I'd like to confirm my reading of: Headline: Secret Exposed! Makes the target take an interact, but does not choose or control the interact. My understanding is, the target can choose from any legal interact and do so, assuming the 2" aura is not in play. Curious if peeps out there are playing it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edegan Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Groovy. I've actually worried as our tournaments expand their draw that I'd have to explain this to some poor fella and hear back, "That's not how it's done on the forums!"

NickDub Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 So, if Nellie is within 2” of a model that she “one more question”ed to interact and controls that interact with dropping a guild marker, does Nellie get to draw the card and journalists get focused +1? The 8” aura abilities for draw and focus state “when an enemy model within 8”. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legislat Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 They are treated as a friendly model, so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
