    After activating the Ultron Drones, but before activating Ultron, Metal Tyrant, I play Sovereign Strike to destroy the terrain next to my Ultron Drones.

    There is no time period between the activations where an Active Team Tactic Card may be played. As soon as the Grunts activation is over, the Parents Activation starts.

    I have a question about the "shattershuffle", if I have a unit in reserve and I reach the shatterpoint, which is also the last card in the deck, can I shuffle it and use the "shattershuffle". This way I can refresh the force, draw a new card, and the card in reserve will remain there? 

    The card in reserve would need to be played first.

    And the second variant: in the strike team is Luminara, I have a unit in reserve I have no other cards in the deck, but before drawing the reserve I decide to look at the top card (Flow of the Force ability), whether I can use her ability at all, and if so, since I don't have any cards there, can I reshuffle the deck to look at the top card (and of course refresh the power), and decide to leave a unit from reserve in reserve and draw a card from the "fresh" deck?

    You would not be able to use it in this scenario.

    Just to clarify, when you say:

    • Red Skull must spend at least one Power when benefiting from this superpower.

    This does NOT mean he must spend 1 of his own power, just at least 1 power from himself or the character he’s using power from.

    that’s how I read it, but others in my meta are interpreting it as Red Skull must spend at least one power (from himself)

    He must spend at least 1 power from himself

    So according to the rulebook on page 16 under the measurement heading it seems to imply to me that a movement tool must always be used to measure a potential movement from a models base. And therefore cannot be used on the table to measure a distance while not attached to a models base

    The tool does not specifically need to be "attached" to something you would measure from.

    1 - Can you place a movement tool on the battlefield when it is not touching the model that is to move/be moved?

    Yes

    On 9/28/2023 at 6:27 PM, Will L. said:

    2 - Can you measure with a movement tool from your opponents models?

    Yes

    On 9/28/2023 at 6:27 PM, Will L. said:

    3 - Is the intent of the “2 tool limit” that you can use a movement tool from a model, a range tool from its intended target, and have a reasonable estimate on if the model will make range?

    This is one way to use the premeasuring rules.

    The Reposition must be added to the resolving queue, however, the effect itself allows the Player choose to Advance or not since there is a "may" in use.

    In other words, Barriss must resolve the Reposition, but may choose not to Advance, and therefore does not suffer damages from the Strained token - and if she does not Advance, she also may not remove the condition token

    This is correct, yes.

    Do you have an example of a character with Active Ability that requires an action?

    There are currently no characters with an ability that fits this criteria

    -For the reactive capacity costs that means ": [Symbol]" (For example the Coordinated Fire capacity of ARF troopers having at the end "[:!]".

    This is not a cost, rather, it is a reminder of the condition the ability will apply (As different 'versions' of the ability apply different conditions).

  7. For a beam or area attack, you don’t repeat the entire attack sequence against each character. Since you are not starting the attack sequence from step 1 each time, you are just using the profile that was previously established rather than rechecking it.

    For “Rapid Fire” style additional attacks, you are restarting the entire attack sequence from step 1 with the additional attack. Although the Rapid Fire attack occurs during the original attack, it’s not a part of that attack the way that the beam and area attacks would be. You repeat every step of the attack sequence, including step 1, which means you are rechecking the “profile”.

    Can the Sinister Six leadership trigger when a friendly character takes 1 damage from an allied beam attack? i.e. Doc Ock uses his arm lasers centered on an enemy and catches a friendly model in the attack.

    No.

    The Leadership requires you to be targeted by an attack and this does not occur when you catch an allied character in a Beam or Area attack. The allied character is not actually targeted by the attack, they just suffer a damage for being in range of it.

    Eyes on the Prize has the unusual timing restriction, "At the start of any Allied Character's activation".

    Some parts of this are obvious, one clearly has to do this before taking any actions, but others are less clear.

    Can I play other Tactics Cards in this timing window, and can I play them before Eyes on the Prize

    You may use other special rules that share the timing of "start of an activation" and could order them in whichever order you wish. If they don't share that timing though, they have to be used before or after.

    For a concrete example, I am playing Hydra, I have Red Skull, Master of Hydra as my leader.  I also have Baron Helmut Zemo in my squad.  It is Hulk's activation and I want to switch leadership with Versatile Strategy before playing Eyes on the Prize in order that Hulk will get a power back from Baron Helmut Zemo's leadership, is this possible?

    It's not possible in the way you have ordered it, but it is possible to achieve what you want.

    You can't chose to activate Hulk, then play Versatile Strategy and then Play Eyes on the Prize for the reasons stated above.

    However, a players turn starts before any character has been chosen to activate and you have a window of time to play Team Tactics Cards before choosing the character you wish to activate.

    This means that you could start your turn, play Versatile Strategy, then choose to activate Hulk and play Eyes on the Prize.

    Is the Rivals Panel Spider-Man model tied to a specific character?

    The Spider-Man miniature from the Rival Panels: Spider-Man vs. Doctor Octopus represents Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

    On 8/7/2023 at 7:08 PM, KoseyW said:

    with an official Spectacular Spider-Man card could you field the Rivals Panel model as him?

    This would not be supported in official tournaments, no.

    Follow up question.

    let’s say I don’t like the symbiote for Spectacular Spider-Man and swap it with the tactical explosion from the RP Spider-Man or ASM.

    Is he still a legal model? Or because he has pieces from multiple boxes he isn’t anymore

    You can leave off the symbiote.

    Swapping pieces between multiple official models does not inherently invalidate the model, no. You should attempt to retain the particular feel behind each model, but are otherwise free to make conversions.

    These are the rules for miniatures in official events

    MINIATURES
    Each player must have the miniature for each character on their Roster. Players are allowed to customize their miniatures as they like but must follow these guidelines:
    1. The miniature must be made from a majority of Atomic Mass Games miniature parts from the Marvel: Crisis Protocol miniatures line.
    2. The miniature must be easily identifiable as the character it represents.
    3. Players may not customize a miniature in such a way that any part of the miniature represents the intellectual property of any party except Marvel, including copyrighted logos, symbols, iconic elements, or other iconography.
    4. The size or pose of a customized miniature cannot interfere with gameplay.
    5. Miniatures must always be attached to an Atomic Mass Games base or a modeled base that is the appropriate size and shape of the original miniature.

    Can crossbones make an advance while under the Influence of Dig In

    He may not advance if the option to advance comes from a special rule like "Hit and Run"

    He may advance if he has chosen to perform a move action as one of the actions a model can perform during its activation.
