Title: Inspiration + initiative roll
Post by: chribu on February 23, 2007, 07:52:43 AM

Does the inspiration ability add to the LD for the initiative roll (if the miniature with the highest effective LD would be that miniature, obviously)

Yes it does.

So, then, strategic insight can then be combined with that?  ie, B&G col, LD = 15, plus inspiration 2 = 17; coupled with the infantry col, who has strategic insight, would raise that to a 19 for initiative??

*edit* thinking further.. if the inf. col, and the B&G col. were within Commad distance, the B&G col, would raise the LD of the Inf. Col from 16 to 18, and then add the strategic insight on top, makes 20! hmmm...  can be good!

Inspiration adds to Initiative???

I did not realize that Initiative had anything to do with Morale.

Oh crap... I got them confused.  My mistake.  Inspiration does not add, strategic insight does.  Sorry for the mixup!

This is related to this topic so I send it here

And what about if strategic insight doesnt have model with highest LD. Does it stack with the higher or just his?

example

one army
Alakhai with LD 15 and has strategic insight
Valpurgius LD 16

second army
highest LD 14


what is the starting situation before initiative roll 14 : 18 (using valpurgiu LD + alakha Strategic insight) or 14 : 17 (using only alakhai stats) ?

Page 80 under Strategic Insight

Quote

A model with Strategic Insight adds a +2 to the army's initiative rolls

So Al can use his to boost Val's ini rolls.

Last Question. When I have 2 models with Strategic Insight. Do I get +2+2=+4 to initiative roll?

Title: Re: Inspiration + initiative roll
Post by: dmcgee1 on March 08, 2007, 03:59:31 PM

IMHO, yes.

On page 80 in rulebook it is not cumulative.

Correct!

Meh, it's not the first time my opinions have been wrong - it won't be the last.  Thanks, Phil.
