Hi all,
I've not been lurking any time at all, so please forgive me if I make any
major gaffes in my post. I recently achieved one of my life's minor
amibtions and acquired a copy of dragon pass. After my first couple of
games, I wanted a few clarifications, so any advice on the following would
be vastly appreciated:
- Combat: In combats involving stacks across multiple hexes, how are these
resolved? We presumed you totalled the combat factors of the all the units
available to attack across all the hexes and did the same for the defenders.
But it seems remarkably easy to achieve huge total combat factors this way,
especially with defensive doubling. Is this right, or are the combats
resolved one hex at a time?
- More Combat: If you do have a total of over 36 for a totalled combat
factor, what do you do with the "extra" since the combat table only goes up
to 36? Are the rest ignored?
- The hydra: does this require feeding *each* time it's owning player
wishes to move it, or does it only need feeding once?
- The crimson bat: do units eliminated by the bats' chaos magic count
toward feeding it on black and dying days? Similarly do any units eliminated
by a stack containing the bat count toward feeding it, or must it eliminate
units by itself?
- Honesty: I presume that when the screening rule is being used, a player
controlling a stack which contains slower units than the topmost one simply
must be trusted to move the stack the proper amount.
- Background: Where else can I find source material about the situation in
Glorantha depicted in dragon pass? Furthmore, how come the chaos-hating
Sartar troops are allowed by the game to ally chaotics such as the hydra and
Delecti? Is that not a fairly major breach of flavour?
Thanks for this. We've yet to play the "full" game so if anything else comes
up, I might have some more questions for you!
