Darth Hideous Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Took this from Facebook - would like to hear the Rule clarification, please. Heroes' turn: Start, Stance, Action, End. Then the Overlord's turn: Recovery, Activation. In between Recovery and Activation, the Overlord moves the turn marker. My question is this. When does a turn end? For example, if the heroes have to get the mission finished by the end of turn 8, does that mean that the Overlord moves the marker to 8, the Overlord takes their turn and then the Heroes take one final turn?

Pallantides Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) 1 turn is : OL's turn : 1 Recovery, 2 Advance turn marker, 3 Activation, 4 End. Heroes' turn : 1 Start, 2 Stance, 3 Action, 4 End. A turn is always the OL playing first, then the Heroes = 1st turn is OL then Heroes, 2nd turn is OL then heroes, ... By exception if it's specified in the scenario that the heroes have to start = we've got a "0 turn" or "half' turn. So the heroes play once more than the OL. Example : in a 8 turns scenario, the heroes play 9 times and the OL 8 times if the heroes have to start. And yes, in your example, in a 8 turns scenario the Heroes finish the game because 1 turn is always OL then Heroes.

It does not say anywhere a turn starts with the Overlord's turn. Instead in every rulebook is stated both sides alternate turns beginning with the side as mentioned in the specific scenario.

Yes, you're right, but it is said that you always advance turn marker one space in the Overlord's turn (not heroes turn) so : If the scenario specifies that the heroes start, then you put the turn marker on the "0"space and the heroes play...Now it's the OL's turn so you put the marker on the "1"space and the OL plays. After the OL, it's the heroes turn again and we still are on the "1" turn space. After the Heroes, it's OL's turn so you have to put the marker on the space number "2"...etc... If the scenario specifies that the OL starts, then you put the marker on the "0" space and the OL plays. BUT, when the OL plays, he has to put the market on the number "1" space (he does not play a "0" turn as the Heroes when they start. Then it's the turn of heroes, etc, etc... So yes, both side alternates turns, but as you only count turns when the OL plays we can say that a complete turn is always OL then Heroes. It's logic. OL is always the first to play in a turn....and this does not mean that he's just the first to play.

Kheldor Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ok, sounds convincing. I didn't take the turn marker into account, but it does make perfect sense the way you put it. Thanks for clearing that one up, again... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
