Apocalypse and target priority?
« on: March 15, 2007, 05:40:49 AM »
Hi,

Apocalyse rules says: you may target any point on the battlefield. Must I obey target priority or not?
Example:
My oponent have two squards, first 10" away on left side, second 20" away on right side of table.. both in full LOS, can my nefarite target apocalypse to second squard or not?

Apocalypse specifically states "may target any point on the battlefield that is within Range". So this bypasses the normal targeting priority. Any point within 24" and LOS may be targeted.

Well, I means that is as you wrote. But I had conflict with some players about that and I'm interested in other verdict on that problem.

Thanks

southpaw is as close to a offical answer as anyones ever gonna get.

By the way, Damn good Question. I have future plans for this spell and its good to have a clearer understanding......such a good "killed 3 squads in one turn MUHAHAHA!" spell.

Ok... In Polish and czech repubilc we are using only small explosion template for this spell. If your oponent counts with that, can hold 2-3" gap between models and then apocalypse is no deadly as is played with large explosion template.

I should add "the kill 3 squad" thing only happen once with me and it was more like 2 1/4 squads. thats because I rolled a 1 to cast it (got my actions back) then cast it again...never got that luck again :(

Thanks for the compliment, masher, greatly appreciated.

Admittedly Warzone is not my specialty, so take my call for what it's worth. But the wording for the spell seems to support how I would interpret it, and I think it's worded that way for just that reason.

Yep, it's nasty, but hey....Dark Legion is supposed to be nasty....

I'll second Southpaw's call.  As for Polish and Czech rules, I cannot agree.  It is, in my most humlest of opinions, wrong.
If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

Well, it means, the result of this question is: my nefarite can target any point with LOS and range, He can ignore  standard target priority rules. Correct?
