IMPACT! MINIATURES

Okay I taught my friend to play elfball last night, on my modified board and had a few questions that needed clarification.

1. IF you use your last point of jog to do an action such as pick up the ball do you still get a free action, like a push or tackle?

2. When can you reposition the direction your player is facing?
a. I threw the ball on my last possible action (even including using a dash) and it was succcessfully caught, can I then turn a round in the same hex to face an opposing defender?
b. IF I threw the ball and it was a SiM, am I stuck facing that direction or can I reface before my opponent gets my momentum?

3. To get the -1 success modifier to hitting an opponent I need a player from my team to be facing my player who is hitting the opponent? (not like fantasy football where I need my "assist" to be facing the opponent)

4. Can you do a shove challenge on an opponent who cannot go anywhere (has someone behind them blocking the direction of shove), I though of doing this to gain momentum with an ogre?

5. If I use momentum to reroll some dice and end up with more successes than I needed do I get new momentum from these even though I used momentum to get them.... Example I roll a 5, 5, 1, 1 and have two momentum and only needed 1 success. I used 2 momentum and hope to get more... I replace the 1, 1 with a 1, 4,..5. so the total is 5,5,1,4,5 = three successes one to succeed and 2 turn back into momentum?

6. Can I use momentum to reroll dice from conditional successes? I have a monster with skill one trying to catch the ball. He rolls one dice and gets 4, rolls again, gets 4, rolls again gets 1. So 4,4,1 but he needed two successes, can I use 1 momentum to just reroll the 1?

7. Do you have to announce the hex you are disengaging to?

I think that is it for now as far as questions go.

Thanks for the replies, one more question, pretty sure I know the answer but I am just checking.

one other thing I noticed that might seem a little unclear, then again to most it might not (or I might have over looked something):

Impact challenges don't cost jog, but if you fail it it costs an additional jog to do anything. Tackle does cost 1 jog. I think it could be clearer or illustrated in an example or something.

This is what I think it means you choose to tackle, have to spend a jog to tackle, however you need to roll an impact because your opponent is mighter, you don't get enough successes. Now to do anything else you need to use another jog. So you have used 2 jog on this challenge inorder to do anything after the failed impact/tackle.

Also can you choose to intentionally walk out of bounds? I could see someone wanting to do this to bring in a player that they need but couldn't set up because of recovery rules and you didn't want to set up one short.

Got a question about Keg use order that came up in our game today:

If a person has no momentum, it's a pretty easy thing. If the roll got 1 success or more, a keg can be used.

BUT things get more complicated with momentum. At what point is the keg actually used?

Case A:
Moving team has one momentum and gets 1 success.

The way we have been playing it is that the keg can only be used after all rerolls are finished. I.e. you can't decide to use the keg, then reroll a dice (because then you could get 0 or a flop and then the keg use is not legal)

Case B:
Opposing team has the one momentum, moving team gets the 1 success.

We have been playing this that the opposing team decides if the use the reroll or not to make them reroll the success, THEN the moving team can use the keg if the total result is still at least 1 success.

Is this the way you intended it? Using a keg occurs after all rerolls from both sides, or did you intent the keg to be used and then rerolls as needed?

I would argue that keg uses happens after all the momentum factors is used. The roll is "finished" until all momentum occurs.
