Gompel 0 Posted October 25, 2009 I couldn't find it on the website, but in our last game we discovered a small error:The overview list of the max. and min. combat values of the Broodwar rulesbook says the Scourge has a maximum attack of 8. But both Zerg have a Broodwar card with a 9 attack value. I have a question about the following battle with two skirmishes:Reaver vs HydraliskZealot vs Lurker->The Reaver killed the Hydra with a collateral damage (technology)card. The Hydra missed.->The Zealot could kill the Lurker (but no observer present). The Lurker killed the Zealot and therefore the Reaver too with splash damage.Am I correct if I say that:-The collateral damage was triggered because it happens just before the Reaver dies (because of the Lurker's splash).-The lurker was killed by the Reaver's splash. (In other words: is it possible to kill a cloaked unit with splash?)Strictly, the rules say the cloaked unit can withdraw instead of be destroyed. But it doesn't say anything about splash and I figured that in the pc-game it wouldn't matter if a unit was cloaked or not to be killed by splash damage. Another battle occured in which I wasn't sure about the rules:Hydralisk + Queen vs WraithThe Zerg plays this reinforcement card: "Gain +1 attack if you have at least one supporting unit in this skirmish". Strictly an Assist unit is a supporting unit, so then the Hydra would get the +1 bonus. Another question about this card: does that supporting unit have to be able to target the front-line unit at all? For example: would you get the +1 bonus if the supporting unit was a Zergling (it can't target the Wraith, but maybe there is some freaking Zerg mindstuff going on)?Thanks for your help.

Simon56 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Indeed, there are some errors in the rulebook concerning the units' stats; you could check each units because there are some others 1st battle: the lurker is not killed, because, being cloaked, it withdraws as soon as it is killed by the the zealot. It is possible to kill a cloaked unit, but in your case, the lurker withdrew before splash damage. The collateral damage by the reaver is indeed trigered 2nd battle: you are right; the +1 applies if you have a supporting unit, whatever it is, even if it can't attack the front line unit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
