hebisaur Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hi, With the 'The Initiative' card revealed, does the card allow a squad of 2 SHIELD characters and 3 unaffiliated characters to form a legal SHIELD squad? At what point does the affiliation of the squad determined as it also affects tactic cards that can be brought. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus-Prime Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just want to confirm - is choosing team tactic cards considered part of the squad-building process, or is it done after? It makes a big difference as far as choosing affiliations go now that "The Initiative" is on it's way. Can the card be used to clear the 50%+ threshold for affiliations, or does your "squad" need to be at 50%+ prior to choosing team tactic cards? Page 13 of the rulebook seems pretty clear on the subject to me, but I have heard there was an additional ruling that takes precedent over this.

GhostDeer Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 When does the effect of The Initiative begin? Will putting this card on an unaffiliated model help my squad reach SHIELD affiliation or is that 51% determined before the card comes into effect?

CptSuspense Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 When using a shield card the initiative, does the character count towards your 51%? IE Nick Fury Black widow Hulk(with the initiative) Thanos. Would this be legal shield affiliation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnix Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) The rules have squad building in the order of picking characters and then after that picking tactics cards. Squad Affiliation is determined in between those two steps and non-affiliated cards cannot be picked in the second step. So if I choose 2 SHIELD characters and 3 non-affiliated, the squad is determined to be not SHIELD. If I pick The Initiative card, will this retrospectively make the squad SHIELD and then I can pick further SHIELD cards? Does this mean that The Initiative is actually played during the squad building phase of the game before the characters and cards are revealed? Is this also done secretly or do you have to declare it? Edited April 5, 2022 by Regnix Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloondie Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Does a character with The Initiative count towards the Shield affiliation count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyzard Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Is the character selected with The Initiative considered affiliated for Squad construction to reach affiliated status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandalorynOranj Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Does The Initiative allow a character to be SHIELD affiliated during team construction? For example, if I use The Initiative, is Fury, Hawkeye, Thanos, Bullseye a SHIELD-affiliated team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negoldar Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Your Squad's Affiliation has already been determined once Team Tactic Cards are chosen. The Initiative card does not allow a Squad that cannot otherwise choose the S.H.I.E.L.D. affiliation to become S.H.I.E.L.D.-affiliated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
