Unless I'm missing something, there aren't any CB staff officially weighing in.
Saying that Hack Transport Aircraft has no effect does not suggest that it loses ties, because it already has no effects on a tie - but neither...
What we've got is an ambiguously written rule, a botched FAQ, and if they intended for HTA to lose on ties, they *still* failed to write the FAQ...
Even the FAQ is not explicit. It just says that the effects of the program are not applied... which is fine, but it says nothing explicitly about...
Of course they haven't won the FtF roll. But neither has the drop troop; it was a tie. That's basic, basic Infinity.
The sentence that the FAQ refers to in the actual rules text is clearly saying that nothing bad happens to the Hacker if they fail their roll......
I think it's 1 point. They should just do it. Also drop Hackable because that doesn't adjust the price.
Yeah that doesn't check out. Whoever wrote the FAQ failed at their understanding of the basic FtF mechanics if they claim it means that.
That's fine, the hacking program is disregarded entirely. I read the FAQ. But tying a face to face roll means you fail - your thrown smoke isn't...
"As normal" would include failing on a tied FtF roll, since that's how the game works, I'd think.
That's true for everything though - everything has no effect on a tie. It's just the opponent fails too because of the basic FtF mechanic. If...
It's hardly explicit. Who wrote the FAQ? Have they verified this?
I've heard people interpret it to mean that if the hacker using HTA and the drop troop tie their rolls, the drop succeeds - but that can't be...
Similar to super-jump, it can let you deploy on a building with no normal access to the roof for protection, then make an easy egress off of it to...
To show that the person who wrote it hasn't read Reset.
It was resolved to my satisfaction. My point is you've got to know the rules, and you've got to insist on playing by them, not just rolling a die,...
Touche.
That's absolutely dumb. Jammers shouldn't be "Screw winning firefights, this microwave emitter solves all my problems!" Basically, if Jammers...
Happened at GenCon so it's kind of everyone's problem.
You can't speculative fire in ARO.
