Cuz05 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Can you be R1 of an objective marker, a target of opportunity, and not be contesting it? In other words, if only 1 character is within R1 of the marker does it count as contesting, as well as securing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A character within range 1 of an objective is contesting that objective regardless of whether other characters are present and will allow its player to secure it.

Cuz05 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Thanks for clearing it up. I was surprised I couldn't find anything else on this question, since by securing an objective, the contest for it becomes resolved. So, by definition, a secured objective is no longer being contested. At least until a new, contesting factor is introduced. So I presume the contesting factor is merely a new round. Clean Up is a hiatus, during which hostilities pause and things may be briefly treated as safe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A character is Contesting an objective when it is within range one of the objective. By default, there are no other conditions or restrictions on this. Contesting and Securing an objective are not mutually exclusive either. Even while a player is securing an objective, models are still contesting that objective.

Well, my external definitions come from how the words are used when they're not being employed as game terms, lol. But yes, I understand the complication that kind of thing can bring. Simple is better. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
