Counterstrike (TM) FAQ
1) Bait and Switch says: "Choose one of your engaged 'Mechs that has not
dealt damage." How can my 'Mech not deal damage, unless it has a 0
attack?
If you have the higher initiative, you haven't assigned damage from your
'Mechs yet, so you can play Bait and Switch. Note that 'Mechs with 0
attack do deal damage, they just happen to deal 0 damage.
2) What does "each 'Mech with the lowest die roll" mean on Blow the
Pass!?
It means that if several 'Mechs are involved, and more than one of them
roll the same lowest number, then all of those 'Mechs have the "lowest
die roll" and take 5 damage.
3) If I use Bribed Pilot, does the unpiloted 'Mech have to be tapped?
The unpiloted 'Mech does not have to be tapped to be affected by Bribed
Pilot.
4) Can I use Deploy Reinforcements to bring a 'Mech from my Scrapheap to
join the current battle?
No, only 'Mechs in play can join a battle. Essentially, any 'Mech that
is in play--even if it's tapped, not fast enough, or guarding a
site--can join a battle, unless there's some effect specifically
prohibiting it from doing so.
5) Massive Battlefield Confusion says: "Damage from 'Mechs that have
already dealt damage is redirected." What does that mean?
That means that if your opponent has already assigned damage from his
'Mechs, the damage is randomly re-assigned by this card.
6) If I use Operations Liaison do I still get my normal draws?
Operations Liaison does not take the place of your normal draws, and it
can be resolved at any time during your Draw phase--even between draws.
7) I play Quick Salvage Operation on my opponent's 'Mech. Who gets
control of the 'Mech?
The 'Mech is under your control, since you played Quick Salvage
Operations.
8) Report From The Norns says that I can block an attack with "any"
untapped 'Mech I have. Can I use a 'Mech that's guarding a different
site to block a fast 'Mech with Elite MechWarrior that's attacking my
Stockpile?
No. Report From the Norns lets your 'Mechs ignore the speed of attacking
'Mechs, not other conditions that make them unblockable, such as Elite
MechWarrior, or conditions that prevent your 'Mechs from blocking that
attack, such as guarding a different site.
9) With Secured Drop Site, do I get the additional deployment no matter
what?
You only get the extra deployment if the card is a 'Mech.
10) My opponent plays Trapped! to put a pinned counter on my 'Mech, but
my 'Mech has a Veteran MechWarrior. Can I untap it using the Veteran
MechWarrior?
Yes. The pinned counter only prevents the 'Mech from untapping during
the untap phase. |
