Incite vs. Chain Activations

[Uktena]

So let's say you succeed in putting the condition Mood Swing on Opponent's Model A.  Opponent's Model B activates across the board and will end activation by Opponent's Model C - a model with Companion.  Since Model C would normally be able to activate due to the benefits of chain activation, can you rob Model C of it's chain activation using Mood Swing by forcing Model A to activate?

Yes. When ever they are allowed to activate a model mood swing can intervene. Mind you the model you choose would still activate but afterwards would be your activation.

Glorious.

Not really...

This would only apply if Model A also had Companion and was in range for it to be triggered by Model B.

The very last bit of the Mood Swing Condition says that you can make the enemy choose Model A in this case to activate "...if it is available to activate". If it doesn't have Companion or Model B doesn't have Accomplice then Model A is not available to activate as per the normal rules of the game, only Model C is.

However, it does work in reverse. So if your opponent moved Model B into range of companion of Model C and did not want to activate them, you could indeed force them too as they have both opportunity and are available to activate

I figured it just meant you couldn't force a model to activate if it had already activated.

That's one of the criteria that it needs to be available to activate, but it also needs to legally be able to be activated by your opponent, otherwise it's not available to activate.

Baskinders is correct. You can only force Model A to activate it Model A would normally be allowed to activate then.

Sounds good to me
