Collodi and Pull Strings

[Snacktastic]

If Collodi is in melee with an ememy model and is affected by Pull Strings, I understand that a disengaging strike can be made against him. My question is, so what? According to disengaging at the bottom of page 48 in the rules manual, if a model is hit by a disengaging strike the disengagning model's action ends. But Collodi is no the model making the action. I am just wondering the point of making the disengaging strike.

[AdrianMills]

I didn't think a disengaging strike could be made as it is push and not a walk. I could be wrong though.

[Ratty]

you can't get a disengaging strike against a push.

[Talos]

Which would be fine but Pulled Strings is not a push.

"This model moves its WK. Move a friendly Collodi into base contact with this model after the move."

[AdrianMills]

I don't think that a disengaging strike would happen against Collodi but one would be done against the Marionette that did the pull string.

"This model moves its WK. Move a friendly Collodi into base contact with this model after the move."

I was wrong again!

It's not a Push.

If the Disengaging Strike hits, Collodi stops his movement.

[AdrianMills]

Cheers Sketch. Always played it as a push up to now we now know better.

Yeah, that's going to change the way we play as well. It's good to have that clarification...

[AdrianMills]

Just been thinking if it not a push then how would this effect treasure hunt could collodi claim the treasure then get dragged back with pull strings? Don't have my rule book to hand to clarify the wording on treasure hunt.

RM pg 94 - Treasure Hunt

A model changing position on the table by an effect other than the Walk actin or leaving play drops the Treasure Counter in base contact with itself.

Collodi would be changing position on the table due to Pull Stings, so would drop the treasure.

If a model is moved by any other effect other than the Walk Action it drops the Treasure. Pull Strings is not a Walk Action thus he would drop the Treasure Counter if he was carrying it.

Don't have my book on me but I thought you could only move the treasure by taking a walk action i.e. (1) Walk, not 'model moves its walk' etc

[AdrianMills]

Been playing that bit right at least.

Ok..good to know that Collodi will stop his movement, Although the rule book doesnt' indicate that. But i understand that WS is as good as any rulebook out there. Thanks guys.

Appologies for the thread necro but I'm starting with Collodi and wanted to make sure I have as much clarified as I can

So from my understanding of the above...

If Collodi is 1" from an enemy model with a 2" threat range (i.e. engaged with a 2" melee strike model), is carrying a treasure counter, and is effected by Pull Strings then Collodi drops the treasure counter (due to moving by a non-Walk effect) and moves to 2" from the enemy model which triggers a disengaging duel. Let's say he loses the duel, Collodi stops 2" from the enemy model and the Marionette's action ends (which it had anyway since Collodi only moves to B2B after the Marionette's move).

Pretty sure that sums up this thread but as I said, just wanted to make sure I have it straight in my head...

Thanks!
