Anatoli Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Seems odd that I can't find anything on the forum or through googke about this question of mine. This situation arose today. Nurse walks up to one of my Punk zombies who is almost dead anyway and injects him with "Speed". The text says "model gains reactivate". OK. The discussion broke out with my opponent as to what exactly "reactivate is". My opinion, you activate your Speed'ed model, then the enemy does his turn, then you may activate the same model again. Or a less likely double activation on the spot. My opponents opinion that you can't use reactivate unless you have activated the target model previous to the Speed injection. It's pretty much open for discussion I believe. So what's the "right/wrong" answer to this Speed issue. (I used the Punk zombie to deliver a message to Rasputina as part of my crew's strategy and managed to score 4VP thanks to this last minute dodge during turn 4).

Wodschow Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Reactivation just lets you activate the same model two times on a given turn, it's really that simple. You can use Speed both before and after a models activation and it will make no difference. And yeah, you're right in that the enemy will always get a chance to activate between the activations of the reactivating model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the answer, I wish it was a bit more straight in the wording of the rule - like explaining in detail what a model can do the way you just did. This might make me bring a nurse a bit more often. Edited February 14, 2011 by Anatoli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Can I take the question further asking what happens when you give the pz all 3 doses with furious casting? Does it still get to reactivate, or does it die in the end of the first activation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropetus Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Giving a model all three doses is useless as they will get sacrificed at the end of their next activation and thus won't benefit from Reactivate. You can of course do this after their first activation, then they will benefit from all doses. However, in this case you have missed one activation of Stimulant boosts. -Ropetus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks, I thought it worked that way but people on the rules q boards keep referring to giving 3 doses to one single mini and that confused me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keltheos Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Reactivate is pretty straightforward: the model gets to activate twice during the turn. If it hasn't activated yet it activates two times during the turn. If it already activated when it receives reactivate it can activate a second time.
