Hoffman (0) Linked In Clarification - Model Activations

[dunce002917]

I just thought I may have been playing this particular action wrong.

This is how I played Hoffman's Linked In:

Hoffman activates and uses (0) Linked In on a (unactivated) Guardian 6" away from him. After Hoffman's activation, The Guardian activates immediately (due to linked in) and uses his APs. Enemy activates and uses his AP. Guardian activates (his normal activation) and uses his APs.

I'm beginning to realize that I played that wrong because Linked In used up the Guardian's current turn activation.

Am I right to think that once I use Linked In on a legal friendly construct, I lose there "regular" activation or did I do things right per my above mentioned scenario?

Linked in just means they can activate after Hoffman. It is their 1 standard activation.

Over-ride edict allows a model to re-activate gaining a second full activation.

In other words, pesudo-Companion, ala Lilith's Brood Mother.

Aha! I knew it. I apologize to my buddy who I cheesed with the game..

So it's companion "lite". Got it.

Also note that override edict causes the target to activate right after hoffman so if you Linked in and override (different constructs) you get 3 activations in a row which is a pretty good alpha strike.

[dunce002917]

Linked In, Override Edict and Assimilate (perhaps a construct with reactivate or push/movement) does make an uber Alpha-strike.

You can't assimilate reactivate unless it's printed on the contruct's card (i.e. you just can't do it)

You can't assimilate reactivate unless it's printed on the contruct's card (i.e. you just can't do it)

then I'll stick to the move/push traits then.. The Guardian's overprotective is great.
