Thom said over dinner that the Ophidian cannot run in flight, or on the ground.  My guess is that this is in keeping with the fact that almost every individual cannot run in the Stygian army.

Thanks very much Josh.  That kinda changes things for the Ophidian.  this will depress canonball, our resident Stygian to no end. ;D  He really enjoys have a flyer now, unless Troy-the-just freezes it for him. :D

I try to limit the rules questions to him to about one every two months!!  Hopefully sooner than later he will re-emerge and surprise us all.   ;)

     OK, it states in the model profile that the Ophidian cannot run.  My question is does this apply to "fast fly"?  We have always interpreted it that the cannot run is for ground only, but I have been wrong before. ::) 

Running covers all forms of movement, not just on the ground.  I know it doesn't make sense per say, but yes "Run=Fly Fast".

     Troy doesn't play to win, per se.  Its more about humiliating moments of his opponents troops that spur Troy on to final victory.

     "To crush your enemy.  To see him driven before you, and hear the lamendation of his women."  Yeah, that pretty much sums up Troy. ;D

I know a few players that play that way.  And I enjoy thumping their armies the most of anyone I play.  ****y bastards... :)
