Being overrun and combining terrain
Published on 12 August 2011 - 13:40:44

What happens when an attacking swarm is greater than or equal to 5 in size? Insta-kill? Barring some special abilities, is there really any point to rolling during such a GS attack?  I was down to one marine and he had size 6 swarm on the left and a size 5 swarm on the right.

Also, as the formation shrinks, the terrain gets compressed right? While down to one marine, I shifted all left terrain cards together and all right terrain cards together on either side. Was this correct? Thank you!

Insta-kill barring abilities. Of course, unless you've faced 15+ GS swarms, you haven't really played SHDA !

Yes, with one marine left, all the Terrain cards will be at his position. Which often leads to those 15+ GS swarms.

A dirty mind is its own reward.
