No, he only likes cardboard men.BUT...there are instances where the Motion Attempt has the possibility of failure, hence the "Attempt"...SW transfer does not. No offense but I find this a straw man example.
SW Transfer can fail if a player tries to transfer support weapons to a non GO unit and the opponent calls him on itBUT...there are instances where the Motion Attempt has the possibility of failure, hence the "Attempt"...SW transfer does not. No offense but I find this a straw man example.
That's the last time i drag your dunk, puking ass out of the bathroom Ital.
Oof. I'm hurt. Deeply, deeply hurt. And I had to play Trezza the next morning! :-DThat's the last time i drag your dunk, puking ass out of the bathroom Ital.
Knocker.
Actually, you could fail an an attempt to transfer a SW between two units. e.g. A ldr declares a transfer of a SW to a squad in a gully hex. Your opponent points out that since the leader is on a crest counter and the squad is not, they cannot transfer the SW as per the A4.431 exception. Therefor your attempt has failed. While this is often self-evident and you would not declare the transfer in the first place (knowing the rule), I could see many casual players not realizing certain actions such as SW transfer can not be done due to situations outside of the transfer itself (good-order, pinned status, location status etc.). Only once those criteria are met is the transfer automatically (no DR/dr) completed.BUT...there are instances where the Motion Attempt has the possibility of failure, hence the "Attempt"...SW transfer does not. No offense but I find this a straw man example.
What don't you agree with? This has never happened to you where you have declared an action only to have your opponent point out a reason why you can't do the action? Now in pretty much every 'friendly' game I've played I always let my oppenent just skip that action and we consider that it wasn't delcared - but if you played by the book, if the action was declared then it 'happened'; i.e. no 'take backs'.
Hmm have to agree with Fort here. A shot with a blocked LOS is still a shot. But If I say i'll attempt to rally the unit under this leader and the counter under the leader was in fact a SW, you do not fail to rally the unit: the action never happens as
What rule demands this?
A little rule we passionately call A.2!
I don't think so. A.2 does not discuss declaration of an action, it only addresses the discovery of an error past the point of its occurrence.
Hmmm...I'm sure I'm not going to word this well but I'm going to give it a try. There isn't a single rule the demands this. It is a natural extrapolation of the context and logic of getting from point A to point C thru B. The rule book doesn't define every word because we assume a common ground of proper language skills (understanding/vocab/etc). If I say 'hex' the rulebook assumes the both players have a common knowledge of a 6 sided-polygon. Now the rules do define what 'location' is and the term 'hex' is in relationship to specific elements of the game- because in relationship to the game there is a quantifyable and important difference in those meanings beyond common knowledge. In the context of this thread - there is an accepted process of decision making in the game. I think about what I'm going to do (most of the time), I declare to my opponent what I am doing (so he can react to it in the case of FDF etc), then roll the dr/DR if needed, and then physically move a counter if needed. There is no rule in the book which states the process; even the ASOP doesn't do this. But in order for us to play the game in a logical manner something like this process always occurs. For me, the declaration of an action by my opponent should be taken at face value and as soon as it is declared it now affects how I'm going to react. i.e. insert an action that I can legally do, point out a disconnect between the delcared action and my understanding of the game, or simply sit there quietly as my opponent deftly avoids yet another one of my ambushes. Hope this makes sense. CG
That's why there are very strict rules in Poker......You can't say, "I see your bet.....and raise" for example.
