Barriers/Conditions FAQ

Good to Go:
Question: When taking advantage of Good to Go, where do I 'get' the extra items from to place on my characters?
Answer: You may take them out of your Draw Deck, BUT since starting cards do not count towards or against deck requirements/restrictions, your deck must still meet all necessary qualifications (40-card minimum, for example) without those cards you pull out for Good to Go. You can also take cards from your Sidebar for Good To Go. 12/8/99 10:40:36 PM

Pressure Doors:
Question: Do I have to place the Pressure Doors at a location next to where the character rotated?
Answer: Yes. 6/29/99 11:26:21 AM

Characters FAQ

General:
Question: For example, Marines player has 2 characters, one is injured and its movement is reduced to 1 and a second marine which still has movement 4<for purposes of this example>. If during the Marine movement phase, the player taps his undamaged marine and spends one movement point, that marine card can pick up the damaged marine and carry/move him an additional 3 spaces along with the healthy marine card? So the effect of moving another character in a sense bypasses the normal movement restrictions of a damaged character card?
Answer: The movement of the card being dragged does not matter at all. You do not 'pick them up', so the extra movement point must be paid for every room you move into. In most cases, this will leave a movement point cost of 2, 1 for the room and 1 for dragging a character. If the movement point cost for the room increases, so will the cost to drag the character through it. 1/8/98

Question: Is it also possible to search for a supporting character with an Alien Warrior with one token on it, after my opponent played Hidey Hole on the searching location?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Question: Do 'cloaked' aliens with one token have to reveal themselves to provide the increase in hand size?
Answer: Yes, as with other hidden characters, if the Alien wants to benefit from being at the Chamber, they will have to reveal. 4/26/98

Question: Does 'any' character card bearing the Alien resource gain benefit from the event cards, Perfect Organism, Defend the Hive, Alien Pursuit, Protect the Queen
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Can SCs with the Corporate resource be found at Corporate Office?
Answer: No, a characters resources have nothing to do with being found. If it was a characters RESTRICTION, then yes. 3/29/99

Question: If the setup is BC -- Hived Hull Breach Location -- Hived Cryonics, could aliens at BC use the Hive Movement to move *Without taking 4 points of Environmental damage* to the Hived Cryonics?
Answer: Exactly! 3/29/99

Question: yes, there is the disadvantage of someone damaging my BC, but, hey, I'm mostly playing vs. Preds right now, so it's tough for him to do.
Answer: Damage the Breeding Chamber and it loses its special text... This is also good for the other Factions when they play that... event that allows them to use Hive Movement. 3/29/99

Question: Can you safely Hivewalk past a location that has a hull breach?
Answer: Take a peak at your Breeding Chamber card, all the information that you need on written there. You can go from an Undamaged Breeding Chamber to ANY other Hive location on the Battle ground. Short Answer: Yes. 3/29/99

Alien Chest Burster:
Question:. Do alien chest Burster tokens have to mature during the aliens mature phase? I'm asking this because i want to know if i can keep them at the chest Burster stage and then wait for a royal jelly card.
Answer: No, during the next Mature Aliens phase, they would mature into regular warriors unless you played Royal Jelly at that time. 1/12/98

Question: During the Mature Aliens phase....Do all Chest Bursters automatically mature into full fledged Alien Warriors 'or' do you have the option of not maturing them at this phase, I assume with the hopes of drawing a Royal Jelly/Royal Guard combo in the future.
Answer: Chest Burster tokens in the Breeding chamber do automatically mature, but a player is not required to mature a Chest Burster card (one advantage of bring the card into play). 1/20/98
Question: Can you move Alien Warrior tokens onto a Royal Guard? I would find this odd considering it takes special circumstances to bring a Royal Guard into play but you never know.
Answer: No, you are correct on this. You can only move an alien token to an identical type of alien (it is moving around, not changing its type). 1/22/98

Question: Can you put Chest Burster tokens on a Chest Burster same question for all other types of Aliens, except Queen in order to pump them up?
Answer: Yes (see p 46) 4/26/98

Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: After your Chestburster matures can you put the card of this character into your hand?
Answer: If you mature a Chestburster Character card into an Alien Warrier card/token... the Chestburster Character is placed into your hand. 4/8/99

Question: Can I have one Chestburter Character Card that is a normal Chestburster and one token on it, that it a Pet Burster?
Answer: No. You can not mix groups of tokens. 4/12/99
Question: Did I hear right that if a hybrid burster is turned into a card that it looses the ability to evolve into a hybrid card?
Answer: The common Chestburster character card will only mature into a Young Queen, Royal Guard or a Warrior. Pet/Pred burster tokens on the Breeding Chamber location however can mature into their respective characters. 4/12/99

Question: If a chestburster pops out of a Pred it is coded with Predator DNA...now can we search our decks to find the appropriate Hybrid Character Card?
Answer: No, unless you have the hybrid character card in your hand or one in the appropriate location, the burster will mature into a normal warrior. 4/13/99

Alien Queen:
Question: When the Queen Character card is dead what is the maximum number of cards that you can draw during the Discard and Draw phase?
Answer: The base of 3, minus 1 for every time he has gone through his deck. 1/9/98

Question: What happens to the Alien player when the Alien Queen Character card gets killed and there are still Alien Warriors in play?
Answer: He/she no longer gets any benefits from having the queen, but can continue playing (primarily he loses the hand size bonus) 1/9/98

Question: When the Queen Character card is dead, can you still create Chest Bursters by bringing captives back to the hive?
Answer: Yes. 1/9/98

Question: In the rule book it says that you can replace an Alien Queen who's been damaged with a Warrior Queen card. Would the damage tokens on Alien Queen carry over to Warrior Queen?
Answer: The Warrior Queen is a different card and does NOT have any damage transferred. 1/23/98

Question: When determining a Queen's defense, do you count Alien Warriors before or after wounds? i.e., a Queen with four wounds and three Alien Warriors would be a defense 0? Defense 3?
Answer: Add up the negatives and then add up the positives. 3/13/98
Question: Can a Warrior Queen ever revert back into a normal Alien Queen?
Answer: No. 3/13/98

Question: If the Breeding Chambers are destroyed through some means, is there any way that the Alien Queen can produce another Breeding Chambers?

Question: If my Queen takes any damage and still lives, can I then play the Warrior Queen card?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Do 'Bound' Lethal Aliens at the Queen location still increase the Queen's Defense?
Answer: Yes. Under the current rules, Aliens damaged beyond repair still confer this bonus therefore we would need to stay consistent. However, 'Predator-Captured' characters will not add to the Queen's handsize or Defense. 9/6/99 9:57:55 AM

Alien Warrior:
Question: During the same phase, can one or more Alien Character cards exchange one or more Alien tokens?

Answer: The card is replaced to your hand. 1/12/98

Answer: 3 More in the deck. 1/12/98

Question: Do tokens on a Alien Warrior card count towards the number of Aliens required to HIVE a location?
Answer: Yes, alien warrior tokens count toward the number needed to hive a location, so 1 Alien Character card with 3 Alien Warrior tokens can HIVE a location. 2/17/98

Question: If I have 4 Alien Warrior cards and three of them get brutal damage yet survive, can I during the next Aliens Mature phase convert those 3 damaged cards into tokens and place all 3 new tokens onto the undamaged Alien Warrior card?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Is it possible in the Alien Mature round to remove a wounded Alien Warrior Card at the Breeding Chamber and bring a Alien Warrior token into play ? If yes, were does the Alien Warrior Card go?

Question: What is Ambushed Pred's honor value?
Answer: 5. 7/6/99 6:41:39 PM

Carter Burke:
Question: If using the Weapons Locker's effect text is "searching a Weaponry location," would Carter Burke allow the Marine player search his Draw deck not only for Weaponry, but for Equipment and Military Arms as well?
Answer: Yes. When you use Burke to search the Weapons Locker, in combination with the Weapons Locker's effect text, Burke finds the first Equipment, Weaponry, or Military Arms card he comes to (You don't get to pick which, it's whatever shows up first). 11/21/99 12:26:07 PM

Question: Cpl. Hicks can rotate to ready any other character. Let's say Hicks is with Sgt. Bass, who can rotate to give any character a +1 to hit.

Answer: Yes. 7/19/99 11:55:12 PM

Question: Can Facehuggers use the acid attack event card?

General Perez:
Question: Regarding General Perez, now THAT'S a useful marine, I like him. Is his effect constant/automatic or is he required to turn? Does his effect also apply to himself or only to "ALL OTHER" marines?
Answer: Its an automatic effect. Keep in mind though, he is a Leader and thus you may only have 1 leader in play at a time. All friendly characters at his location. 4/20/99

Question: Does Perez's ability also increase the Defense of the friendly character's at his location?
Answer: Yes. 6/13/99 12:56:22 PM

Question: Does General Perez confer the +1 Speed to himself?
Answer: Yes. 6/14/99 12:02:51 AM

Huntmaster:
Question: Exactly when can Huntmaster rotate and stop someone from attacking during the combat round?
Answer: Well, ANY time, really. But he must do it BEFORE the opposing character rotates to declare the attack.

Once declared, the attack will occur. 3/12/98

Question: When the Huntmaster rotates, how many characters can he prevent from attacking?

Answer: No. He does not have the Rogue resource. 6/13/99 1:02:06 PM

Ripley:
Question: We were wondering if Ripley's ability was to physically move a location card (i.e.: switch the place of a location with another) or just to move Ripley to an adjacent location (which would make more sense, but you never know...)
Answer: She moves herself, not the locations. 1/13/98

Question: Ok lets say i am playing marines with a line up of Hicks,masters,Ripley,Bishop. Can i search for a weapon with hicks and then give it to ripley for her to use the rest of the game?
Answer: Ripley and Ripley 8 do not have the Marines resource and thus can not use Military Arms... However they can search for them at the appropriate location. Just not use them. 4/10/99

Rogue Assassin:
Question: What items can this character actually legally use?
Answer: The Rogue Assassin can use any of the following items: - Weaponry (including Ammo and Attachments) - Prohibited Weaponry (including Ammo and Attachments) - Scope Rifle (Marine Item) - Camoflauge (Marine item) - and -any- Rifle classed Attachments (regardless of restrictions) [for example he can use the Silencer with the Scope Rifle] 9/13/99 7:24:21 PM

Royal Guard:
Question: Do Royal Guards count towards the hand size increase for the Queen?
Answer: No, just Warriors. 1/27/98

Sgt Hart:
Question: Is Sgt Hart affected by Battlefield Chaos?
Answer: No. This is a unique situation in that this is a card that will use Combat Pool. Thus Hart would be uneffected by the Battlefield Chaos. (Keep in mind that this also means that Hart's attacker will also be uneffected by Battlefield Chaos also) 10/17/99 2:09:44 PM

Sgt. Hart:
Question: Can a event using Combat Pool be used on Sgt. Hart if isn't played directly on him? EX: Playing a Rapid Fire does he gain a free attack? Because your not playing the card on him!
Answer: He does not gain the free attack, but all the other Marines do. 3/13/98

Question: If Hart has Berserk, can he use SWUH and Masterful Shot [1 CP]?
Answer: Hart says that Events with a CP cost may not be played on him. SWUH is a card that has a CP cost. (temporarily reduced but there none the less) 3/29/99

Question: If your hunting pack contains Shadowblade and you play with Camo Suit can, he give it to the another Predator to use?
Answer: Only Shadowblade may wear a Camosuit in a Hunting Pack for Countdown. 4/10/99

Question: When the Warrior Queen is brought into play, what events, etc.. remain and what goes away?

Combat FAQ

General:
Question: For example, Marines player has 2 characters, one is injured and its movement is reduced to 1 and a second marine which still has movement 4<for purposes of this example>. If during the Marine movement phase, the player taps his undamaged marine and spends one movement point, that marine card can "pick up" the damaged marine and carry/move him an "additional" 3 spaces along with the healthy marine card? So the effect of "moving another character" in a sense bypasses the normal movement restrictions of a damaged character card?
Answer: The movement of the card being dragged does not matter at all. You do not 'pick them up', so the extra movement point must be paid for every room you move into. In most cases, this will leave a movement point cost of 2, 1 for the room and 1 for dragging a character. If the movement point cost for the room increases, so will the cost to drag the character through it. 1/8/98

Question: Example: If this Alien Warrior <4/5> with 3 Alien tokens on it, took 2 points of damage the Alien Warrior would have: +1 to hit ? +1 to Damage?
Answer: No, this Alien Group would still be +3/+3 because currently the Alien tokens are preventing all the damage counters. 1/12/98

Question: How many hit points would this Alien have left if it took 2 points of damage?
Answer: 5, plus it could still ignore 1 more point of damage. 1/12/98

Question: Example B: If this Alien Warrior <4/5> with 3 Alien tokens on it, took 6 points of damage the Alien Warrior would have: -3 to hit penalty? a -3 Speed Penalty? a -3 Power penalty?
Answer: No, this group would be at +0/+0 and still a 1/2 Alien Group. 1/12/98

Question: How many hit points would this Alien have left if it took 6 points of damage?
Answer: 2 1/12/98

Question: Typically an Alien taking 6 points of Damage is dead, but do these extra Alien tokens keep it alive?
Answer: Yes. 1/12/98
Question: We' ve been saying that an Aliens player can take a -2 to hit penalty and attempt to capture a Main Character instead of killing it. I've not seen the taking a -2 to hit penalty rule anywhere either.
Answer: Yes, this is legal. 1/12/98

Question: How long do the pluses to hit last for?
Answer: Until the end of that specific round. 1/14/98

Question: Along the same lines, how long to pluses to resistance and defense last?
Answer: The effects of all bonuses provided by event cards last until the end of the current round. 1/14/98

Question: Is it true that any number of cards can be played in sequence to increase either Speed or Power, but only one card can be played to increase a "to hit", or "resistance", or "damage dealing" at a time?
Answer: Yes, see page 18 of the rule book. :) (err, you are correct). 1/14/98

Question: Could I play "Good Shot" <plus 1 to hit> and "If it bleeds" <+2 >damage and "Flesh Wound" <+1 resistance> all on Cpl. Ackels at the same time during the same round?
Answer: Yes. 1/14/98

Question: If I have an alien group with 5 alien tokens on it, and this Alien card sustains 6 damage after resistance etc. We know that the Alien group is still alive since in this example 5 out of the 6 damage can not be used to kill the group. What is this damaged character + to hit now that it has sustained 6 damage and still has 5 tokens on it?
Answer: An Alien Group with 5 Alien Tokens and 6 damage counters has a +4/+4 and is 3/4. 1/20/98

Question: Is all damage resolved simultaneously or do 3 marines shooting an alien each get better to-hits if the preceding marine hits?
Answer: Simultaneous. 1/20/98

Question: If aliens automatically capture all 'killed' characters, why is there a card called "Capture" that seems to be totally redundant/useless?
Answer: Capture is used for main characters. They automatically capture killed 'supporting' characters, not main characters. (they can attack main characters at -2 to hit; if they kill then they capture them). 1/27/98

Question: Can to hit bonuses and/or defense bonuses be played 'after' the die roll to hit?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Question: A Predator walks into a location with the Marines and plays an Overwatch and in response the Marines do the same. Does the p attack resolve before the Marines get to attack?
Answer: Basically, players must wait for other players to respond after they make an action. If 2 actions appear to be simultaneous, then resolve in RMPA order. Predator moves. Marines could then play Overwatch, but they didn't. Predator plays Overwatch. Marines have opportunity to react. Marines react, and also play Overwatch. Predator may now react. Predator reacts, and USES the Overwatch, attacking a Marine. The attack is resolved. The Marines may now react. The Marines can react using the Overwatch, assuming that Marine is not yet dead. 4/26/98

Question: Are Predator short ranged attacks declared before marines ranged?
Answer: No. ALL ranged attacks are declared in RMPA order. 04/26/98 4/26/98

Question: My Aliens Declared attacks on Predator in close combat and he had two Plasma Casters. If he wanted to play You Want Some of This when would he have to play the card?
Answer: After Close Combats have been declared, but before Ranged attacks are resolved. 4/26/98

Question: Can you play 'plus to hit' cards on any attack? (i.e.: Face hugger Attack Event, Sentry Gun, etc.)
Answer: On any appropriate attack. 4/26/98

Question: Let's say the Marines target and hit an Alien or S.C. 'and' during the same round the Predator targets and hits the same Alien or S.C. .... since all damage is done at the same time, who gets the Kill (and thus the honor)
Answer: If a predator simultaneously kills something with someone else, he does NOT get the honor points. If anyone simultaneously kills a target attacked by the alien, the alien does not get to use the target to breed. 7/12/98

Question: Are hidden aliens still forced to declare attacks?
Answer: No, they may or may not actually be there. 03/15/98 7/12/98

Question: I've got 2 aliens in a location with a pred hidden token. They both declare an attack. The first attack to be determined by the die roll comes out to be a hit, but Pred plays IJTC and therefore the 1st alien's attack did not actually hit. Then I roll the second attack and it is also a hit. Does the IJTC work for this second attack or does it actually hit?
Answer: The second attack automatically misses no roll is made. Any attacks that were declared PRIOR to the Its Just the Cat 'do not hit the target.' 3/29/99

Question: What happens to characters when they die?
Answer: Predator, Marine and Rogue Main characters are removed from play. Supporting Characters and Alien Main Characters are placed in the Discard pile. 4/9/99

Question: What's a free attack?
Answer: A Free Attack is an attack that is declared out of the normal combat round and does not require a character to rotate. 4/9/99

Question: Could I have a Predator such as Fast Claw use two Plasma Casters on one opponent?
Answer: No, you do not get an attack for every weapon you have on your character. 4/10/99

Events FAQ

General:
Question: I picked this idea up somewhere but not sure if its true. Is there a limit on playing multiple events cards of the same name on the same turn? i.e. can I play 3 malfunctions on the Pred on one turn?
Answer: You can indeed play multiple Malfunctions on some poor Predator in 1 turn. 3/31/99

Question: May an Alien or Predator player play a formation card on their Marine opponent?
Answer: Formation events are assumed to have a Factional Restriction, whereby only that faction could play it. For example: 2X2 Formation is assumed to have the Marines Restriction thus only the Marines could play it on themselves. 4/14/99

Question: Hull Breach and Battle Standard are both unique, correct?
Answer: Incorrect. Battle Standard should be treated as if it had the SINGULAR resource. Hull Breech does not possess the UNIQUE resource. 4/18/99

Question: Can anyone play the formations? event cards? Not just the Marine Player?
Answer: No. Only the Marine Player may play Formations. 4/26/98

Question: Can you safely Access Tunnel through a location that has a Hull Breach in effect?
Answer: Yes. 2/10/98

Answer: Yes. 6/13/99 11:17:06 PM

Acid Attack:
Question: Can I play Acid Attack on a Facehugger's Free Attack during the Movement Round?

Question: Can I play Acid Attack on a Chest Burster, Alien Warrior, Pet Hybrid, Predator Hybrid, Young Queen, Mature Queen, Warrior Queen, Cloned Warrior and, Cloned Queen?

Answer: No. 7/6/99 9:08:20 AM

Acid Splash:
Question: Regarding the Acid Splash Event card: For example: The Predator is in a location adjacent to an Alien character and fires the Plasma Caster into the room and nukes the Alien, can the Alien player respond to this action with the Acid splash event card? Now here on the card is 'proximity' mentioned, it just says that the attacker takes 6 acid damage.(thx Ivar)

Question: Is the damage from Acid Splash considered environmental damage and thus ignore armor and resistance?

Answer: Yes, play the Acid Splash card. 1/20/98

Question: If an Alien player has 2 copies of Acid Splash in his hand and then during the combat round the Predator kills 'one' alien warrior, can the Aliens player respond with -BOTH- copies of Acid Splash or just one?
Answer: Both. 1/20/98

Question: Say a Marine kills an Alien with the shotgun. The effect of the shotgun causes +2 Acid Splash Damage. Does this mean I have to play Acid Splash for him to take the 2 damage?

Answer: Yes. The suit confers protection from ENVIRONMENTAL damage to the owner. But it can be destroyed by Acid. (unlike Acid Resistant Claws) 7/21/99 11:27:23 AM

Acid Spray:
Question: Acid Spray event card: This card states that it deals 1 point of Acid-Blood damage to everyone in the room, but even though this Acid-Blood eats through everyone's armor and resistance, Why is it that no one must lose any items?
Answer: Since this card is bypassing normal armor and resistance's, it is missing it and hitting the character directly. Thus no normal resistance, but no lost items. 1/14/98

Activate Self-destruct:
Question: Can I use the Activate self-destruct event on the self-destruct item, drop it and make minimum safe distance before it blows? I know this would be considered dishonorable but with some Predators, they hunt for fun, not honor. I understand that the self-destruct can only be activated when the Predator is at speed zero but if he could then somehow move via another event card, could it be done?
Answer: Yes. 1/12/98

Question: I believe that a Predator in a room with 6 Alien character cards has a SPEED of 4(or 5) but has a MOVEMENT of 0. Can I play Activate Self Destruct?
Answer: No, your Movement Points were reduced to ZERO by Outnumbering, this is not the same as having your Speed reduced to ZERO. The card can only be played if the Predator's SPEED has been reduced to 0, through either damage or event cards. 4/26/98

Question: Could I play Activate Self Destruct on an opponent Predator who has a Speed of 0 and the Self Destruct item?
Answer: No you may not. 4/26/98

Alien Sacrifice:
Question: If I discard a token due to Alien Sacrifice, is that considered a kill for the purposes of 'Perfect Organism'?
Answer: No. 6/29/99 11:43:32 AM

Alien Stealth:
Question: Alien Stealth says that Aliens are hidden with 1 token. How does this help?
Answer: You can use cards such as Ambush; and while hidden you gain a defense bonus. Plus, if you have a card that gives you additional hidden movement tokens, you can use it to disguise your location... 1/26/98

Question: What is the duration on Alien Stealth?
Answer: Most events have a duration of a Round unless otherwise mentioned. However, it does not make sense in this case for it to be either a permenant effect or to last only 1 round. Therefore we can assume that Alien Stealth, and other events such as Recon, Ghost Image, etc last until the end of the current TURN. (not round) 9/6/99 9:18:43 AM

Alien Wave:
Question: If I play Alien Wave, may I boost the initial Alien's To Hit with another Event card?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

At Any Price:
Question: Regarding the Event card, At Any Price, does this mean that the character ignores the damage penalties of the damage counters unless a given attack is a Killing Shot?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

At the Limit:
Question: When At the Limit says 'Opposing player's combat pool is limited to its current level' on At the Limit, does that mean that the opposing players combat pool is limited to the level when the card was played or does it mean that the opposing player can't gain any while the card is in play?
Answer: The event specifically mentions 'current'. Current refers to whatever the ongoing value is. 4/5/99

Baptism of Fire:
Question: If I give Hudson (coward) a Bottle Courage (removes coward), then I play Baptism of Fire on Husdson and give him the Brave resource, this is legal right? What happens now if I get rid of the Bottle Courage?
Answer: This is legal. Since Hudson can not be both Coward and Brave,Baptism of Fire would remove both the Brave and the Coward resources while it was on Hudson with out the Bottled Courage. 7/21/99 1:53:51 PM

Berserk:
Question: Regarding the Berserk promo card, if something costs 1 Combat Pool, would you round down to 0 damage or would you round up to 1 damage?
Answer: Round down to 0. 4/29/98

Question: Regarding the Berserk promo card, do you use your resistance when you apply the damage?
Answer: No. 4/29/98

Question: Can I play Berserk on my opponents characters?
Answer: No. Due to the delicate nature of the damage dealing nature of the Beserk event, it would not be fair to play it on your opponents characters. 7/26/99 4:06:00 PM

Question: When is the damage applied when using Berserk?
Answer: Immediately after the event card which is played onto the 'Beserked' character resolves. 7/26/99 4:07:26 PM

Black Market:
Question: Does Black Market add the Prohibited resource to whatever location it is attached to?
Answer: Yes. 6/13/99 12:22:03 PM

Booby Trap:
Question: If you run a marine in into a pack of aliens and he doesn't attack but gets killed can you play "Booby Trap" next combat? Assuming the bugs didn't move.
Answer: Hrm, I would say that if you were still in the game and that if you followed the effect text of Booby trap correctly than yes. You could set a trap and then die, only to have the trap go off at a later point in my point of view. 4/20/99

Captured:
Question: Assuming that a main character is captured using either the Captured card or by an attack at -2(-4) to hit, does it drop it's items here it was captured? 03/19/98
Answer: The items are brought along to the Breeding Chamber with the Captured Character. 3/19/98

Carpe Corpus:
Question: Strictly speaking is it legal to play this card when an opponent finds a Supporting Character even though I don't have a character card in sight to force him to attack the newly found Supporting Character?
Answer: No, only the person finding the supporting character may make the attack. 1/13/98

Question: On Carpe Corpus, only the character who finds the S.C. makes a free attack. Can I still play it on a Marine, force him to make an attack on the innocent little child he just found, and then accuse him of being a little jumpy?
Answer: No. 1/13/98

Question: Can I use 'Counter' event card to stop/counter a At any Price?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: What does the term 'Ongoing Effect' refer to?
Answer: Since most events last only 1 round, an event with an 'ongoing' effect is an event that has an effect that lasts more than 1 round. (and costs Combat Pool for Counter) 7/26/99

Question: Can you play 'Counter' against another player's 'Counter'?
Answer: No. Counter only cancels Events that (a) use Combat Pool AND (b) have an ongoing effect. [An "ongoing effect" means they last longer than 1 Round.] 11/2/99 5:34:10 PM

Cover Formation:
Question: Can marines jump between aliens and civvies to protect them from becoming a meal? (thx Norman F.)
Answer: Only if you're using certain cards such as Cover Formation which lets you do this. (Answer was edited for clarity) 1/20/98

Crazed Civilian:
Question: If the Marines stay in this location for another round, will the Crazed Civilian continue to attack them every combat phase?
Answer: No, only when people enter his location. 3/12/98

Answer: Yes. He gains a free attack against each character that enters his location. 3/12/98

Crossfire:
Question: When I'm in combat can I play both a Crossfire and a Let's Rock, then choosing which to have affect a given character? Example- I have 1 smart gunner who gets a +2 benefit form Let's Rock but my 2 other marines both have tactics and receive a +2 from Crossfire. Because in the rules it states that only 1 card may affect attributes during combat, yet never states that only 1 card may be played?
Answer: Yes. 3/12/98

Question: In the Combat Round a Crossfire is played and Sgt. Bass rotates give all Marines +1 to hit then still on the combat round all my Marines get a free attack what still affects the shot?
Answer: All of the bonuses are still in effect for the free attack. 3/12/98

Dead End:
Question: What happens if I play Dead End on a Cloaked Predator? Would Dead End in fact reveal a predator if he is using hidden markers?
Answer: No. Rotating a Predator does not automatically reveal it. 3/15/98

Question: If I targeted a hidden Predator with this card, am I targeting the card it self or his hidden marker.
Answer: You are targeting the Predator card itself, not the marker. 3/19/98

Question: If I play Dead End on a Marine's medkit, could he still use it?
Answer: No, Rotated items cannot be used until readied. 4/26/98

Death From Above:
Question: On the card "Death from Above', what does the restriction of HIVE refer to, The location or the faction?
Answer: Good Question, this refers to the fact that the location must have the HIVE resource. It does not refer to the Hive faction of Aliens. 4/14/99

Question: Can you only play Defend the Hive at the beginning of the turn or the movement round? Or can it be played at any time?

Question: Can you play Disengaging Attack which provides you with a -2 to hit, and then right afterwards play Good Shot which provides a +2 to hit, in order to compensate for the penalty of the first card? Is this a legal combination?

EVENTS CONTINUED


Question: When can you play Disengaging Attack? Just during regular combat, or during ANY attack?
Answer: Since all attacks (even free ones) consist of a combat sequence, you can play this card during any attack, so long as it is before the die is rolled. 1/24/00 1:30:47 PM

Question: At what point does Disengaging Attack let you move?
Answer: You get to move at the end of the combat sequence you played the card in. This would be right after damage has resolved for all the attacks (Ranged and Close Combat) that were declared at the beginning of that combat sequence. 1/24/00 1:35:51 PM

Dishonor:
Question: Would the Predator lose honor if there was a Marine searching for a Predator item at a Predator location that had a Dishonor played to it?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Are two or three Dishonors played on one Predator location cumulative?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Dissection:
Question: Regarding the event card Dissection, do I have to kill an alien, play dissection, and then generate 5 research point?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Dodge:
Question: If you play a card like Dodge that raises a character's defense, how long does it last? Just for an attack or for a full turn? What about cards that raise a character's to hit or resistance?
Answer: Unless otherwise stated, events that raise an ability expire at the end of the current round (p. 18) 4/26/98

Dwindling Options:
Question: Dwindling options.. When this card is played on your opponent, I assume that he/she is not allowed to quickly play all the cards in his/her right? So you play the card and spend the Combat pool and the player MUST discard that number of cards right?
Answer: Events are resolved as played. Hence, as soon as the Dwindling Options is played, it must be resolved. (you are right, in other words!) 3/12/98

Question: If a Predator started playing events, let's say three events in a row. Could I as a marine stop him on his second card and play Dwindling options, since it goes in RMPA order.
Answer: This is what the somewhat convoluted paragraph on p. 21 is meant to explain. Basically, a player can only play one event at a time. The Predator player must play one event, then wait for you to react. If you do not react, the Predator may play his second event without penalty. If you STILL don't react, he may play another, etc. If the Predator breaches etiquette by slapping down 3 cards at once, you may say, Nay, my overzealous Predator friend! and force him to take back the second 2 cards. You could then react to the first card, with the knowledge of what he has in his hand. Basically, if the Predator allows you to react in between, and you don't, then he is in the right. If he does NOT allow you to react, he is in the wrong. 3/19/98

Eat Vacuum:
Question: Concerning the card Eat Vacuum. Will a Predator's starting Mask fulfill the card's Environmental Damage Prevention requirement and save it?
Answer: No, the Predators Mask only protects against Environmental Gas damage. The moral is don't get trapped near an airlock. 1/9/98
Question: The Eat Vacuum event card states, Everyone at that location is killed at the end of the next 'round' So if you played this at the end of the combat round, everyone will die at the end of the Search round?
Answer: Yes. They get Spaced. 1/20/98

Question: If as the Predator I start my movement in an ENTRY location with another race, can I play Eat Vacuum and then use my movement to leave the location?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Emergency Escape Vessel:
Question: Since it is not leaving during the movement or search round, must it take it's items out of the game with it, or may the equipment be dropped on the ground?
Answer: Items may be dropped on the ground. 4/26/98

Question: Can you evacuate at anytime from anywhere with the Emergency Escape Vessel or only at the beginning of the Movement phase?
Answer: Only at beginning of Move Phase, as with normal evacuation. This card merely allows you to evacuate from a location other than the Docking Bay. The evacuating characters must also rotate, as normal. 4/26/98

Empty:
Question: Does the weapon have to have been fired that round?
Answer: No. 3/19/98

Question: Does empty happen to all his ranged weapons, or just one?

Answer: No. 3/19/98

Question: When the event card, Fire Alarm is played against a hidden predator token, does this event card damage the predator camo suit even if it was played upon a decoy token?
Answer: No. 1/16/98

Question: If the Fire Alarm event card was actually played upon a hidden true predator token, and the Predator responded to that action with Its just a cat event card, what would the end result be? Would the Predator get revealed? Is the suit still damaged?
Answer: The Predator would not be revealed, nor would the suit be damaged (as this would also reveal the Predator). 1/16/98

Fortify:
Question: Can you play multiple Fortify event cards on the same location with the hopes of having them be cumulative?
Answer: No. 1/12/98

Answer: When you play Friendly Fire, you use the same die roll "to hit" number that was just used on the attack that missed (in effect, it's the same attack. The shot just went wide, ricocheting towards your buddies). No, you can't make the attacker shoot himself with Friendly Fire. You can only make him shoot a buddy (if he has one in range). If the attacker is alone, Friendly Fire is no good. 12/8/99 10:11:39 PM

Answer: No, all the close combat attacks are resolved simultaneously, so further attacks that round would not gain the bonus. 4/26/98

Have Me Some Fun:
Question: Have me some fun Can anybody explain the use of this card?
Answer: It says: use combat pool to make a hit cause damage (ignoring armor and resistance) of: 1@ - 1 damage; 3@ - 2 damage; 6@ - 3 damage; or 10@ - 4 damage. So, if your opponent has a lot of resistance/armor and you have a not-terribly good weapon, if you hit, you can pay 10 pool, and ignore all the normal damage resolution method, and cause 4 net damage (which ignores armor and resistance). That tends to really mess up an opponent. 1/22/98

Question: Consider ' Have me some fun', can your opponent play this card on himself, in order to sustain only 1 damage instead the normal 15 damage from a Plasma Caster hit?
Answer: No, only the Attacker may play this card upon his declared target.. 3/12/98

Question: With regards to the event card If it Bleeds Can you play this cards with any other card that creates damage? ie: Could you play it with an Acid Splash, Acid Spray, or Hull Breach?
Answer: No. 2/10/98

It was a Bad Call:
Question: If I play 'It was a Bad Call' on Shadowblade what happens?
Answer: Characters can not possess diametrically opposed characteristics. Shadowblade would lose his 'Lucky' resource for the duration of the event. If a second 'It was a Bad Call' was played on Shadowblade while he was under the influence of the first, he would gain the Unlucky resource for the duration of the events. 7/21/99 1:45:28 PM

Its Just the Cat:
Question: Is playing Extremely Agitated so they attack my real predator token then playing it's just a cat thus rotating the Aliens and then play You want some of this to kill them all legal?
Answer: Yes, it's legal. 4/29/98

Question: Will Its Just A Cat Protect my Predator from an Alien Wave?
Answer: Yes, We ended up deciding that one IJtC would protect against another player's actions (plural). Also the card says Any attacks (again plural) on it do not hit. We finally decided that the card distinctly implies defense against multiple attacks. 4/29/98

Question: I know from previous questions that altering the target of my combat using the "Disarmament" card will prevent my Pred target from using a YWSoT card i.e. I'm targeting the item -- not the character -- therefore the restrictions on YWSoT are not met).
Answer: Exactly! 3/29/99

Question: How does IJTC work with "Ready For Trouble"?
Answer: Well, it would go like this. Marines play Ready for Trouble on a hidden token. The Predator immediately plays 'Its Just the Cat' and all declared attacks also miss. In this case no attacks were declared before IJTC was played. 3/29/99

Question: With the same 2-alien scenario above, during the beginning of the combat phase before I declare attacks, I play RFT. Pred opponent plays IJTC, and declares that the "no attacks on it will hit" will work for any hits that occur this combat round.
Answer: No, events are resolved as they are played. Thus IJTC would cause all previously declared attacks to miss. Since no attacks were declared in advance, the Predator player is in trouble and would require a second IJTC. 3/30/99

Juggernaut:
Question: Regarding Juggernaut, is this a permanent card, or does it only last until the end of a round or turn?
Answer: Only till end of round. 4/26/98

Question: I believe that Juggernaut would also add +1 if the player with the experimental rifle played it. My question is: Since the player with the experimental rifle is obviously going to target the Aliens in the Breeding Chamber, could the Aliens player play and use Juggernaut to modify the roll by -1?
Answer: Yes, they could. 4/29/98

Keep 'em Down:
Question: When do you play Keep 'em Down?
Answer: After the first attack RESOLVES and it is determined that the target is still alive you immediately play and thus RESOLVE 'Keep em Down'. 6/29/99 11:24:47 AM

Question: If I damage the Queen, what happens first: a) Queen matures into a Warrior Queen or b) Keep 'em Down's free attack?
Answer: Keep em Down occurs 'immediately' and thus it resolves BEFORE the Queen has a chance to mature into the Warrior Queen. 7/5/99 11:03:18 PM

Kill and Kill Again:
Question: While I'm on the subject of 'Kill and Kill Again', can you switch targets with this after the first hit, or do you have to hit the same target twice?
Answer: Yes, you can switch targets. 1/16/98

Last Stand:
Question: If the Rogues have somehow managed to control a Marine Main Character, like Pvt Distephano.... can the Rogue Player use a 'Last Stand' on Pvt Distephano?
Answer: No. Last Stand has the Marine Player restriction on it. (which means only the Marine Player can play this card) 6/27/99 12:14:32 PM

Learn by Doing:
Question: Can I play several copies of this card at once?
Answer: No. This is a non-cummulative card. 6/29/99 11:41:53 AM

Long Range Shot:
Question: Can 2 Long Range Shots be played at a -4 to hit?
Answer: Technically, this card lets you attack one location beyond your normal range, not 'an additional location'. This means that even if you played the card twice on yourself, you would still only get a one location increase in your range. 3/12/98

Question: If a Long Range shot is played then a Kill And Kill Again does the Long Range Shot still affect the attack?
Answer: No. 3/12/98

Question: Say a Predator declares his attack at a High Cross-Location. He also uses Long Range Shot so he can shoot two locations away with the penalty. Can he target someone at a Low Cross Location?
Answer: With a Long range Shot... yes. 3/29/99

Look Sharp:
Question: Can I use a Look Sharp to cancel an Overwatch.
Answer: Only if the firing character has Tactics. 4/26/98

Loose Formation:
Question: If you are the Marines and you have a Loose Formation in play, can you still play Event cards that add a + to defense, would they be cumulative with the Loose Formation or instead of the Loose Formation ?
Answer: You can play other cards, but you can only use one benefit (it is still an event, so you can't use it for an extra benefit). 1/20/98

Lucky Break:
Question: Can someone use Lucky Break when they get hit with Hull Breach damage. ?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Malfunction:
Question: What happens when someone plays Malfunction of your Chemical Base or your Garrison Pack or your M3 Body Armor?
Answer: It doesn't work (it was spilled, he found a hole in the armor, etc.). 1/27/98

Question: Lets say I play You Want Some of This before I Declared my attack and my opponent malefactions my Plasma Caster, could I then switch to my other one and attack him/her with my normal attack, or would I have to use the Malfunctioned one for the rest of combat?
Answer: You WOULD have to use the malfunctioned Plasma Caster for all the attacks that you had previously declared. 4/26/98

Question: Can a Malfunction be played on Hart?
Answer: Yes, the Malfunction may be played. 4/26/98

March of Time:
Question: Can I use March of Time on Self Destruct, Heat Exchanger, Self Destruct Sequence?
Answer: Yes. This is what the card is intended for. 4/26/98

Question: Can I play two or three March of Times in a row, to further reduce the time for a Self-destruct Item?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Question: Is it possible to cancel Malfunction without a Bad Call with a March of Time ?
Answer: No. The most you can do, is reduce Malfunction to the minimum duration possible, which is 1 Round. 12/8/99 10:28:19 PM

Marines We're Leaving:
Question: Marines, we're Leaving event card: Can this card be played before the Docking Bay location is put out and/or before the Marines player has rescued the required number of civvies?
Answer: You must be able to make it to the Docking Bay (out and connected). You can play it before you have enough civvies, but it means you will automatically lose as soon as your guys bail ship (but you might get a moral victory). 1/12/98

Question: With Marines we are leaving , do you have to move to the Docking bay on the next movement phase?
Answer: a) a Docking Bay needs to be already in play before you can legally play this event.b) you must make your way to the Docking Bay as soon as possible and then evacuate. 3/29/99

Medical Assistance:
Question: If a Predator is equipped with the Predator Medikit and plays a Medical Assistance, how much damage is healed (assuming he is not at an Infirmary)?
Answer: 2 points, 1 for Assistance, one for the Medikit. 4/26/98

Question: If a Predator is equipped with the Predator Medikit and plays a Medical Assistance, how much damage is healed if he 'is' at an Infirmary?
Answer: 4 altogether. 4/26/98

Answer: Without a Medikit, 3. 4/26/98

Question: Does the card Medical Assistance give it's bonus at a damaged Infirmary?
Answer: Hrm... In order to stay consistent with the rules regarding damaged items and their use I would have to rule 'No.' 4/14/99

Question: Meditation: Rotate a character you control to gain 1 Combat Pool... Can I play this event and rotate as many characters as I want (including supporting characters under my control...) to gain 1 Combat Pool for each? Or can I only use it for a single character, thus gaining only 1 Combat Pool for each meditation played (assuming I'm Marines)? (thx Chris B..)
Answer: Only one character per time the card is played. 1/22/98

Question: Can I play Meditation on Lt. Campbell and gain 2 pool?
Answer: No. If he rotates to play Meditation, then he can't rotate to use his ability. 4/29/98

Answer: No, one per use of the card. 4/12/99

Answer: No, it is a UNIQUE card. 4/26/98

New Era in Science:
Question: OK, if I play New Era In Science and learn how to use Plasma Caster does it mean then that I can use any more Plasma Casters I find or would I have to play New Era again?

Question: If you Play On The Move and then meet the restrictions for Like a Ghost can you play both for 6 movement?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Do you have to make an attack if you play On the Move?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Question: On The Move allows a Character to move at the end of Combat. Is the movement allowed by these cards: Modified by outnumbering enemy characters at the same location (i.e., -1 move per outnumbering character)?
Answer: The card refers to moves or movement points, (On the Move), then you ARE subject to move restrictions. 4/26/98

Question: Can u play 2 on the moves to get -4 to hit and 6 movement?
Answer: On the Move is an event card that applies a penalty to hit. The rules state that you can play and use any number of events that apply a negative to hit... but you can only -use- one event that applies a plus to hit. 3/29/99

On The Move:
Question: When can you play On The Move? Just during regular combat, or during ANY attack?
Answer: Since all attacks (even free ones) consist of a combat sequence, you can play this card during any attack, so long as it is before the die is rolled. 1/24/00 1:31:43 PM

Question: At what point does On The Move let you move?
Answer: You get to move at the end of the combat sequence you played the card in. This would be right after damage has resolved for all the attacks (Ranged and Close Combat) that were declared at the beginning of that combat sequence. 1/24/00 1:35:12 PM

Oops:
Question: I play Oops to roll two dice, then someone plays facing bad luck to make me reroll... do I reroll one? If so, do I pick or the person making me reroll?
Answer: He picks which die he is targeting. 1/30/98

Overconfidence:
Question: When playing the card that allows any 6 rolled to hit a predator (I think it's called Overconfidence), is that a global thing, or is it limited to your own characters, or to characters at a specific site?
Answer: It's global. If you are Marines, it will even apply to your opponent Alien's attacks against the Predator. 3/12/98

Question: Can I play Overconfidence AFTER I have rolled a '6'?
Answer: No. This event must be played BEFORE rolling the dice. 7/18/99 11:09:15 PM

Answer: No. But they must reveal themselves to rotate for the Overwatch attack. 1/22/98

Question: If someone plays Overwatch during the movement round to get a free attack on my predator, am I allowed to play Dead End to stop him??
Answer: Yes, but Dead End MUST be played before the opponent declares the Overwatch attack - remember, the first event played is the first to take effect. If a conflict arises (like both announce their intentions at the same time), resolve in RMPA order. 3/12/98

Question: A Predator walks into a location with the Marines and plays an Overwatch and in response the Marines do the same. Does the Predator attack resolve before the Marines get to attack?
Answer: Basically, players must wait for other players to respond after they make an action. If 2 actions appear to be simultaneous, then resolve in RMPA order. Predator moves. Marines could then play Overwatch, but they didn't. Predator plays Overwatch. Marines have opportunity to react. Marines react, and also play Overwatch. Predator may now react. Predator reacts, and USES the Overwatch, attacking a Marine. The attack is resolved. The Marines may now react. The Marines can react using the Overwatch, assuming that Marine is not yet dead. 4/26/98

Answer: Overwatch is an attack. However, any attack implies combat. 4/26/98

Question: Is it possible to play Overwatch followed by a Disengaging Attack and move him away from the location in the movement phase?.
Answer: Yes, this is legal. 4/26/98

Question: If the aliens player plays an Overwatch on a character (marine) who also plays an Overwatch, would the marine's attack go first, then if the alien's still alive, he would make his attack, due to the whole ranged combat resolution/ close combat resolution thing in combat round?
Answer: Alien played first, so it is resolved first. Overwatch is an event, and so the usual combat timing rules do not apply. 4/29/98

Panic:
Question: Can you play Panic on the Cocooned Victim?
Answer: You CANNOT play Panic on the Cocooned Victim. 4/26/98

Passed By:
Question: Can Passed By be used to make one Alien attack another friendly Alien?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Perfect Organism:
Question: With regards to the event card Perfect Organism Let's say you have 3 Alien cards that are extremely damaged, they then get attacked and one of the 3 damaged Aliens dies. Can you play Perfect Organism now and heal all attending Aliens ?
Answer: Yes. 2/10/98

Pincer Grab:
Question: Regarding Pincer Grab, I'm assuming that if I hit successfully the character is grabbed and cannot use any more movement and cannot make use of the Marine rotating to get away until a subsequent turn?
Answer: You are correct. The card says until the attacker ... ROTATES, not until the attacker ... IS ROTATED. 4/29/98

Pour it On:
Question: I fire at Aliens with a grenade launcher and use "pour it on". Is the attack considered to have missed (for purposes of pour it on) if I miss a single alien? (or only if I miss all)
Answer: The attack is considered to miss... as soon as you miss your first Alien. (ie: a single Alien) 7/6/99 9:48:35 AM

Question: If an opponent plays Dwindling Options on me and I still have Prepare Yourself in my hand and the combat pool to pay for it, can I play it right away or must I wait for the next draw phase?

Rapid Fire:
Question: Exactly when and how is Rapid Fire played?
Answer: It may be played at any time. 3/12/98

Question: When 2 Marines are playing a Scenario do one Marines cards affect the other? Like an Opposing Marine plays a Rapid Fire. Do all Marines make a free attack or just the character's of the owner of Rapid Fire?
Answer: No. Whoever plays the card gets to specify WHICH group of marines benefits from the card. 3/12/98

Question: When I play Rapid Fire, do all the marines have to attack?
Answer: All attack, remember that Free Attacks do not force the characters to rotate. 4/26/98

Question: Can I play Rapid Fire if Sgt. Hart is on my team?
Answer: You can play the card - it just won't affect Sgt. Hart. 4/26/98

Question: I was playing the Marines and I moved with in range of the predator to attack him with long ranged weapons. I then played the card Rapid Fire, in response my friend played The card Retreat. How is this resolved?
Answer: Events are resolved in the order they are played (unless the card specifically says otherwise). Hence, since you played Rapid Fire first, it is resolved immediately, and THEN he can Retreat (if still alive!). 4/29/98

Recon:
Question: While using the event card Recon if the marine reveals his tokens to attack, search, whatever. Does he get the tokens back the next time he moves?
Answer: No, you would need a Camosuit for that. 4/26/98

Regroup:
Question: Regarding the event card Regroup Can I choose a card which isn't even in my deck? Can I choose a card which started out in my deck, but whose only copy is now in play? (it's not in my hand, discards or deck...) Can I choose duplicates of any locations I have in play? (thx Chris B..)
Answer: You must have the card in your deck, and not in play. The main use for this card is to refine your deck some after seeing what your opponent is using. 1/22/98

Question: With Regroup, can I remove my opponents cards from the game?
Answer: You can only regroup your own cards. 4/12/99

Question: Can I Regroup Operations out of my Draw deck?
Answer: The Named card cannot make a player's deck illegal (i.e., Operations may not be called, in Scenarios that require a player to have Operations in their Draw deck). (APONE 05/04/98) 1/29/01 11:08:44 AM

Retreat:
Question: What if a predator targeted me for combat and I played retreat and moved into the other square, would he still target me if he's using a plasma caster?

Question: Can you play Retreat on Sgt. Hart?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Answer: Yes. 6/29/99 11:27:36 AM

Question: If I have Rig it Up on my Wrist Guns, do I roll twice or once?
Answer: You roll once per use. (a use in this case means both attacks) 6/29/99 11:30:19 AM

Answer: Yes. 6/29/99 11:31:06 AM

Question: I have the Sentry Gun control on a guy with a scope rifle. I'm 4 locations away from the Sentry gun. Can I still rotate the gun 4 locations away to have the sentry gun attack within 2 locations of the sentry gun control?
Answer: You have to be no more than 2 locations away from the target, and the target has to be no more than 1 location away from the Sentry gun. 1/30/98

Question: If I had a Character with, a Scope Rifle and Four Sentry Gun Controls, Could he make His Regular attack, and then fire four sentry guns also, during the combat round.
Answer: Yes. 3/19/98

Short Controlled Bursts:
Question: If I play Short Controlled Bursts on my Veteran, will he still lose his weapon's basic AMMO if I then play Saturation Fire on him?
Answer: No. 9/6/99 9:14:20 AM

Snapshot:
Question: If I target a hidden Predator, would this make him get revealed, since he is attacking. Also when this card is played, does the character immediately attack or does he resolve attacks like normal.
Answer: Yes, it reveals the Predator. The attack is resolved immediately. 3/19/98

Question: Suppose the Predator's opponent wants to play Snapshot on him, is this allowed? the Predator's opponent probably wants him to have a -1 to hit.
Answer: Yes. 3/19/98

Question: I'm not sure we're playing this card correctly.. I am entering the combat round and I say I'm playing snap shot on my character and we are resolving his combat before anyone else because it says he immediately attacks at minus 1 to hit.
Answer: This is correct. 3/19/98

Question: Is it possible to use the snapshot card on a character to make him attack even thogh there is no legal target?

Sprint:
Question: Can I play and use multiple Sprints? Are they cumulative?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Answer: Stalking the Queen allows the character who rotates while bringing the card into play to use Hive Movement. 4/19/99

Structural Damage:
Question: Since Structural Damage can only be played when a single attack of 20 damage or more misses, then it seems to me that SD cannot possibly be played, because it's impossible for a single attack to be worth 20 damage.
Answer: You can play Structural Damage during any combat round inwhich 20 + points of ranged damage missed their targets at one location. Not simply from 1 attack. 4/18/99

Success Breeds Success:
Question: Success Breeds Succes: Since it's permanent, does that mean you gain 1 combat pool every time you rescue a Supporting Character or it's a one shot deal where you only get the amount of combat pool according to the # of Supporting Characters when this card comes into play?
Answer: Gain 1 combat pool every time you rescue a supporting character. 1/22/98

Sweep the Area:
Question: Can you play Sweep the Area in a location that already has a location on either side of it?
Answer: No. 1/27/98

Question: Regarding Sweep the Area, what if the location that comes up is already in play? Do you discard it and continue flipping till you get to the next one, or do you discard the location and your character stay unmoved?
Answer: First of all, Duplicate locations are discarded OUT OF PLAY. That means they are removed from the game, so you don't keep redrawing them. Secondly, if you come to a duplicate location, we rule that, as with other Search actions, you have to stop at the first location you come to. If it isn't legal, discard it. If it's a duplicate, remove it from play as usual, and the character doesn't move. 3/19/98

Question: Must I rotate a character during the search phase to use Sweep the Area?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Does sweep the area fizzle if searcher is at a ground location and he finds a cross location?
Answer: No, if the Cross Location can legally be played, then play it. If it can not be legally played than the action fizzles. 3/29/99

Take the Initiative:
Question: If I play Take the Initiative on an opponent's character who does not play any + to hit cards, must they use the Take the Initiative?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

The Area is Secure:
Question: Can you play The Area Is Secure after you move a hidden token into a location?
Answer: You must reveal yourself in that location before you can play the card. 3/5/98

Question: If I play the Area is Secure next to the Alien's Breeding Chamber and the Aliens catch a SC, does the S.C. go to the Breeding Chamber and become a baby Alien still?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

The Will to Live:
Question: What happens if an Alien Warrior attacks Newt/Child in the kitchen and deals a whopping 8 damage to her, then a pesky fiancee opponent plays an Event card called The Will to Live which states that the recipient of this card retains 1 health point no matter how much damage it just sustained. So Newt never really died? So I gather that she would stay in the Kitchen location and not be on her way to the Breeding Chamber because she lived?
Answer: Yes. Sounds like a good reason to break off the engagement to me. 1/9/98

There's Something in There:
Question: When a Predator is moving with hidden markers, do all of the markers count as your opponent when playing THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE?
Answer: Yes, but you only get the extra token once per use of the card. 3/15/98

Question: An Alien player has a There's Something In Here in his hand. Then, a Pred's hidden marker moves through a hived location. Can I play TSIH? Or can I play it if later during the turn it becomes apparent that the hidden marker was the actual Pred?
Answer: You can play it on an unfriendly hidden marker. 3/31/99

Tight Formation:
Question: Does the event card Tight/Loose Formation work on lone marines too? (thx Norman F.)
Answer: ...you have to have at least 2 marines together to take advantage of formations... 1/20/98

Tighten the Perimeter:
Question: Could I use this on say my Predator ship and move it adjacent to a location that does not have entry location on it. Would this be illegal since the ship says that you can only have entry locations adjacent to it. Or does Tighten the Perimeter override that restriction.
Answer: No. You still have to meet any restrictions on the card, as with WO Kraver finding characters. 3/12/98

Question: I have a question on TIGHTEN THE PERIMETER. When the locations get switched do the character cards go with the location, or does just the location change positions, and the character stay where they are.
Answer: The characters move too, hence the combat pool cost and caption. 3/12/98

Trick Shot:
Question: Do bonuses to Speed count for defense when an opponent plays trick shot? (ie combat mastery, defend the hive, GE:accelerated motabalism, ect)
Answer: No. Target must use its BASE Defense with -no- modifcations. 6/13/99 1:32:38 PM

Twice as Deadly:
Question: When using the event card "Twice as Deadly", where are the Supporting Characters located from?
Answer: You may only find Extra Supporting Characters from your 'Hand', when using the event 'Twice as Deadly'. 7/19/99 2:03:31 AM

Welcome to the War:
Question: If you play Right to the wall and then you opponent plays Welcome to the war what happens how many die would be rolled or would they cancel out?
Answer: They would resolve in order with the last effect staying 'alive'. 4/26/98

Where There's One:
Question: If you capture more than one Supporting Character during a turn and play WHERE THERE IS ONE, do you get an extra for every Supporting Character you capture?
Answer: The card targets only one supporting character. 3/12/98

Question: Can I play multiple copies of this card on one Supporting Character?
Answer: No. (non-cummulative) 6/29/99 11:41:13 AM

You Want Some of This:
Question: When you play a card that offers free attacks such as You Want Some of this, must you rotate your character when you attack with this event card?
Answer: No, it is a free attack. 3/12/98

Question: Can I play You want some of this? after I've already done my ranged attacks, thereby only playing it on the Marines that actually require it?
Answer: No, You Want Some of This is played after the Close Combats were declared against your character. 3/12/98

Question: Can rotated Marines take advantage and use cards that will allow them free attacks, such as You Want some of this even though they were already rotated?
Answer: Yes. But rotated weapons can not be used. 3/12/98

Question: I have a question regarding YWSOT. The card says, make one free attack against every character who has targeted you for close combat. Well, does mean the Predator itself or can the decoys be also considered you?
Answer: It would work like this.... You may move a hidden marker (which is actually your Pred) into a location and the Aliens declare close combat attacks against. You would then immediately reveal your predator and play You Want Some Of This. You can only YWSoT on a non-hidden character. 3/31/99

Answer: It would say on the item or event. 4/12/99

Question: Okay, I'm really having a hard time remembering when tokens count as "characters" and when they don't (like for outnumbering). Is there any consistency to when they do and don't that can help get my mind around this?
Answer: Its all in the printed rule book but, Tokens are to be treated like characters in all cases except a) outnumbering b) any effects/events that take outnumbering into consideration c) Tokens do not impede Evacuation process. 4/19/99

Question: Must a hidden token reveal if it enters/occupies a breached location?
Answer: It is interacting with his environment, therefore Yes. 4/20/99

Question: Regarding Timing, it is still not possible to "react" to the play of other cards. No "batches of effect" as in magic and all the other CCG's (which is good). Every played card resolves before the next is played. Correct?

Answer: When it is your segment of the movement phase. 4/20/99

Question: When a Predator activates his Self Destruct in an Entry location, what happens?
Answer: Due to the nature of the Entry location, the Entry location and its contents are discarded but the explosion is contained to that single location. Had this explosion begun in a non-Entry location, all the locations 'Connected' to the starting location and up to, the nearest Entry location would have been destroyed. 7/19/99 11:35:45
PM

Question: When you say that all locations are destroyed until you reach an Entry location... Is that Entry ALSO destroyed?
Answer: No. If the explosion occured 'outside' the Entry location it is not destroyed. 7/20/99 12:08:59 AM

Crude Explosives:
Question: Crude Explosives Rotate owner to make a Long-Ranged attack on every character at a location. Attacks are a -1 to hit. Does 8 damage. Discard. This sounds similar to Grenade Launcher except that it more strongly implies that you need to role for each character. The only reason I ask about this item is to determine whether both it and the Grenade Launcher are played the same way or if they function differently.
Answer: They are played the same way. 1/13/98

Demolitions Charges:
Question: Regarding Demolition Charges item card, it states that everything in the room takes 13 damage and the room become damaged. What does the damaged resource do to the Breeding Chamber or Predator Shuttle Or Docking Bay? Will it impede any activities?

Double Packed Ammo:
Question: Can the Marines players use multiple double packed ammo in one gun?
Answer: No. 1/16/98

Experimental Rifle:
Question: Certain cards like experimental rifle ask if the die roll is a certain number. Now does this mean u use the attack (to hit) roll for this, or do u roll a die for the number the card talks about, and then make the attack roll? If u do use the attack roll, do you include to hit bonuses or do u just use the raw die roll?
Answer: When you rotate to declare an attack with this weapon, roll a die. Apply the results to the attack roll. In other words, you roll the die twice. 3/20/98

Extra Ammo:
Question: Does Extra Ammo reload depleted Ammo items?
Answer: No. Extra Ammo only reloads a Weapon's generic Ammunition. 6/14/99 10:54:47 AM

General Item Questions:
Question: Can the Predator use Marine equipment, like Marine Medkits, Chemical Base, etc.?

Answer: No. The item is permanently damaged, until it gets repaired. 4/26/98

Grenade Launcher:
Question: Grenade Launcher Character w/ this item attacks all characters at a location for 8 damage. Does this mean he rolls a die for each character in turn or that all characters automatically take 8 damage? If the former, since all plus to hit event cards last until the end of the round, all modifiers would apply to every role, correct?
Answer: You roll the die once and then apply that result to all characters in question. Each character will obviously have their own unique defense. 1/13/98

Question: Grenade Launcher. One of its restrictions is M41A Pulse Rifle. Suppose that a Marine is searching the deck (at the Armory, say) and finds the Grenade Launcher but the character does not have the M41A Pulse Rifle. Does the character find the Grenade Launcher and carry it around, but unable to use it until it is attached to an M41A Pulse Rifle? (thx BorgKing)
Answer: He just can't use it without the Pulse Rifle. It can be found can carried with no restriction. 1/23/98

Hand Welder:
Question: I have question about connected locations. If I blow up Heat Exchanger, after having sealed my Marines off in say....the Machine Shop, do I still get toasted? By sealed off, I mean by using Hand Welders.....
Answer: Actually, connected is defined in terms of adjacent locations. Since the Hand Welder makes locations no longer adjacent, then your Marines are safe behind the welded door! 3/23/98

Question: If a Marine was welding using the Hand Welder gets killed before the required time is up, what happens to the Half used Hand Welder? Can it be picked up?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Can a Marine using the hand welder decide half way through a weld that he no longer wants to continue to weld? Can it be picked up?
Answer: Yes. This just aborts the process, and the marine could just use the welder elsewhere. 4/26/98

Hunters Caster:
Question: I was reading the restrictions on the hunting packs and it says no camosuits and plasma casters. I was just wonder if that included the hunter's caster that is coming out with rez or can hunting packs have the hunter's caster????
Answer: Countdown restricts camosuits and plasma casters from the Hunting Pack. Hunting Caster is -legal- for Hunting packs in the Countdown Scenario. 4/7/99

Hunters Mask:
Question: Any hidden alien (using hidden movement) has +1 defense because it is hidden. If the opponent was a Predator using a Hunters Mask(Thus allowing him to 'see' hidden tokens) would this negate the Aliens +1 defense bonus?
Answer: No, The Alien is still hidden. The Hunters Mask allows the wearer to 'view' the hidden token not 'reveal' it. The bonus still applies. 3/29/99

M42A Scope Rifle:
Question: If a Marine armed with a scope rifle (M42A Scope Rifle) fires the rifle, the rifle is rotated when fired, and the owner must rotate to ready it again, right? Is he allowed to make more than 1 attack without rotating to ready the rifle? Or does the scope rifle make an intrinsic restriction on free attacks?
Answer: You have to be able to rotate the scope rifle to make each attack, including free attacks. The technique required for using the scope rifle just does not lend itself to rapid fire. Pick another weapon if you're using free attacks. 1/30/98

Question: Lets say I got a scope rifle rotated on Sgt. Hart, can I in the movement phase pass it on to another marine and rotate him and then give it back to Sgt. Hart?
Answer: Yes, assuming you pay the movement penalties for the transferring of items. 4/26/98

Question: If during the combat phase Cpl. Ackels takes 3 damage and is going to die, could a un-rotated character with a medkit rotate and use it on the newly deceased Cpl. Ackels?
Answer: No. 1/20/98

Question: Let's say Cpl. Ackels takes 6 damage and thus goes to -2 hit points, could 2 other Marines/supporting characters with multiple Medkits all rotate to heal Cpl. Ackels from death? i.e.: Marine #1 rotates to bring Ackels back to zero from -2, Marine #2 rotates with medkit to bring Ackels back to 2 hit points from zero?
Answer: No. 1/20/98

Motion Scanner:
Question: If the Marines uses the Motion Scanner to view a hidden token in his own location and it turns out to be the true predator token, Is the Predator still considered hidden even though the marines know he is there?
Answer: Yes. Only revealing the token makes him unhidden (the marines know he is there, but those scanners aren't that accurate when it comes to taking exact shots). 1/16/98

Question: The Motion Scanner card text implies that it is the item that is rotated to use it rather than the character ... so, can a rotated character with a ready Motion Scanner rotate the Scanner to use it?
Answer: Yes. 3/20/98

Naginata:
Question: If the Predator with a Naginata is fighting in Close Combat with an Alien Warrior, he gains the +1 Defense. If however the Marines also target the Predator in that same combat with a ranged weapon, will the Predator still gain the Plus to Defense from the Naginata?

Neuro Toxin:

Answer: No. (It would get too messy to keep track of that) 6/14/99 10:56:05 AM

Personal Data Locator:
Question: Can I find anything with the Personal Data Locator?
Answer: No, It should say that you find the first supporting character that can be found in your current location (so ignore supporting characters that can't be found it your current location). 1/23/98
Question: When searching with a Personal Data Locator at a location do I find the first SC that meets the restrictions of the location and play that?
Answer: Yes 4/26/98

Personal Transport Vehicle:
Question: Can I play Malfunction on the PTV?

Answer: No. 4/26/98

Self Destruct:
Question: Regarding the self-destruct item, Can the Predator drop it and make minimum safe distance before it blows? I know this would be considered dishonorable but with some Predators, they hunt for fun, not honor. I understand that the self-destruct can only be activated when the Predator is at speed zero but if he could then somehow move via another event card, could it be done?
Answer: Yes. 1/12/98

Question: When a Self Destruct Item detonates in a ship location, how is it handled?
Answer: Exactly as if the ship had the outdoor resource. 4/24/99

Question: When a Self Destruct Item detonates in an Entry location, how is it handled?
Answer: The Entry location that the explosion originated in is discarded along with its contents but the explosion is contained to that Entry location. 4/24/99

Question: Can I target the Self Destruct with a Malfunction after it has already been activated?
Answer: The Self Destruct operates on a different duration system that works with Malfunction. (unlike the VCM, which deals with an extended round in a turn).

Sentry Gun:

Locations FAQ

General:
Question: For example: The Marines player plays a Hived Mess Hall location, then the Aliens player plays a "Mess Hall" location <not hived>...or reverse the order not hived location followed by a "hived" identical location.
Answer: These are considered different locations. A location is considered identical only if it has an identical name. 1/12/98
Question: Can multiple characters search the same site to find multiple supporting characters and items/weapons at the same time?
Answer: Yes. 1/27/98

Question: How many different locations are required to be in a deck?
Answer: Only the starting locations and Operations. But you should refer to each specific scenario to be certain. 4/26/98

Question: If a location has had Hidey Hole played on it and Alien Queen Matures turning it into a Breeding Chamber does Hidey Hole remain on the new B.C. or is it discarded?
Answer: Because the location is discarded, any events currently on that location would also be discarded.... then the new location is brought into play. 3/29/99

Question: If you hived, say Main Corridor or Would it retain the ability regarding Central locations??
Answer: The Hived locations gains the Hive resource and loses the ability to find further hostages there. Everything else stays the same. 3/30/99

Question: When the aliens replace a location with a new Breeding Chamber does the submerged recource carry over?
Answer: No, the only resources that carry over are resources that identify a location's location. ie INDOOR, OUTDOOR, GROUND, HIGH, LOW 4/2/99

Question: What do you mean by three locations in a row are connected but if an Entry location is between them then the ends are not connected? Can the character not still move through the middle location?
Answer: The term 'connected' is used to describe the path of destruction that a Self Destruct explosion would take indoors.... Entry locations break the line of Connectedness, picture each Entry location as having large Pressure Doors... 4/8/99

Access Space:
Question: Can you play Access Space in a legal spot and then declare it adjacent to a predator Ship/Shuttle or a Breeding Chamber?
Answer: No. 4/26/98

Question: When playing Access Space, must I declare a location already in play?
Answer: Yes. 4/26/98

Question: Can Access space be declared adjacent to Breeding Chamber?
Answer: No, Breeding Chamber clearly states that only HIVE locations may be adjacent to it. 3/29/99

Airlock:
Question: On a related topic, we all assumed that the airlock door Location card closes after someone plays "Eat Vacuum" and the room becomes repressurized at the end of the turn. Is this correct?
Answer: Yes. 1/12/98

Armory:
Question: There are several cards like armory and weapons locker that let you rotate a character to search your deck and find an item card there. We were wondering if this only lets you get an item card from your deck or if you can actually put it on the character that rotated. If the latter, do you have to do it during the search round?
Answer: The character who rotates searches during the search round and finds (and plays) the top appropriate card in your deck. 1/13/98

Breeding Chamber:
Question: If during the Mature Aliens Phase, I have 4 Alien tokens in my Breeding chamber, Can I move some or all of these tokens to one or more Alien Character cards anywhere in play?
Answer: You may only transfer to other cards (including the breeding chamber) in the same location. 1/7/98

Question: If a Marines or Predator player places a "Hived" location in front of them in their own HUD display, is that location considered part of the Alien player's HIVE? So can the Alien player transfer Aliens from the "Breeding Chamber" directly to this Marine/Predator player's "Hived" location?
Answer: Yes. 1/9/98

Question: The Breeding Chamber says that you are required to treat each individual Alien token as an individual warrior card while in the Hive during the combat phase. So if the Predator enters the Breeding Chamber with the Queen and 1 Alien Warrior card with 5 tokens on it (+5 to hit >+5 to damage)... are you trying to say that the Alien Warrior group 'must' splinter down into individual attackers?
Answer: No, you are misreading this. It means if there are 3 'Warrior Tokens' ON the chamber card and NO warrior cards, each token can attack as if it were a warrior card. The text refers to tokens on the Breeding Chamber card only. 1/20/98

Question: May an Alien use its ability to move from any Breeding Chamber to another Hived location if the location it is moving to is damaged?
Answer: No. 4/14/99

Question: May an Alien use its ability to move form any Breeding Chamber to another Hived location if the Breeding Chamber is damaged?
Answer: No. 4/14/99

Question: If the Breeding Chamber gets damaged what happens?
Answer: Hive movement is cancelled and it gains the damaged resource. But you can still mature Chestbursters there. 6/14/99 11:03:33 AM

Hardpoint:
Question: When using Hardpoint's ability to make a long range attack, does the location rotate?
Answer: Yes. A Marine at this location may rotate it. The Marine doesn't rotate, the Hardpoint does. 4/26/98

Heat Exchanger:
Question: When the Heat Exchanger explodes, do all locations explode in a line until the explosion reaches an ENTRY location?
Answer: Yes. 3/12/98

Hived Cryonics:
Question: If "Hived Cryonics" is one of your starting locations, can your opponents play with this specific location card in their decks in the Contact Scenario? (question reworded)
Answer: Yes, but other Hived Cryonics are considered to be DISTINCT from the original starting locations. 1/19/98

Hived Kitchen:
Question: Because all identical location take on the characteristics of their identical counterparts already in play, if the Predator player now played a "Kitchen" card, would it take on the hive resource, because the Marines original "Kitchen" card was just hived by the Aliens player during the Hive construction Phase?
Answer: Yes. 1/20/98

Question: So, is the "Hived Kitchen" the same location as a newly hived "Kitchen" card?
Answer: No, but any new Kitchens brought out are considered to have been hived by the Alien. 1/20/98

Machine Shop:
Question: There is a location I think is called Machine shop.. the text on the side reads "machinist equipment" Can this be ransacked?
Answer: Yes. Machinist Equipment is still Equipment! 3/12/98

Predator Shuttle:
Question: Can your Predator stay in this location for multiple turns and thus use this location's special ability repeatedly over the course of several turns?
Answer: Yes. 1/9/98

Question: The Predator Shuttle location states that a Predator can rotate it to search through the draw pile for the first Predator item. a) How is this accomplished? Do you flip the top card of the draw pile over until you hit the first Predator Item card?
Answer: Yes. 1/9/98

Quarantine:
Question: In the location Quarantine, it says it costs to moves to enter or leave the location. Does this affect only humans or all factions?
Answer: Quarantine forces all characters (not just Humans) to spend 2 movement points to enter or leave the area. 10/11/99 9:48:14 AM

Answer: Yes. 7/23/99 12:01:38 PM

Waste Tank 5:
Question: Can I find Cocooned Victims at Waste Tank 5?
Answer: Yes. 6/11/99 10:02:41 AM

Question: May the Hive alien faction use Waste Tank 5 as a starting location?
Answer: Yes. 6/11/99 12:37:22 PM

Water Processing:
Question: While the Predator is at "Water Processing" the Camouflage Suit is damaged. Is this damage permanent? Or only while the Predator is at the "Water Processing" location? (question reworded)
Answer: The Suit is damaged only while the Predator is at the Water Processing location and therefore, the suit is totally 100% non-functional when present at this location. (answer reworded for clarity) 1/20/98

Human Restriction

In the premiere edition of Aliens Predator, several cards are printed with the "Marine" Restriction. Unfortunately, these cards were printed without consideration of additional Human factions.

To correct this, any Premiere Edition Event card with the "Marine" Restriction should be read as having the "Human" Restriction instead, usable by Marines , Rogues, and any Human faction created in the future. Note that this applies only to Premiere Edition cards; Event cards from Expansions are labeled correctly and do not need to be interpreted. Below is a list of the cards which are affected by this:

Baptism of Fire
Breakthrough
Bug Hunt
Desperate Shot
Dissection
Eat Vacuum
Emergency Escape Vessel
Evacuation
Field Promotion
Marine Short Course
Marines, We Are Leaving
New Era in Science
Rapid Fire
Remote Sensors
Saturation Fire
Security Doors
Self Destruct Sequence
Success Breeds Success
Take Him with You
Air Control Fans"

What does ERRATA stand for? Is this the same FAQ available on the site?

a question, without an answer. If it gets an offical answer, which it won't. i'd add it. This is intended for official rulings, could make another thread for player rulings.

UP: Errata is changes made to cards that overrule what the cards themselves actually say, due to potential conflicts, or unclear wording. The thread title is actually slightly misleading, should be titled "Errata and Rulings" or something.

Most of this is from the FAQs on the official site, but not all. Theres a compiled list of errata i stole off ccg workshop, as well as the list of "human restriction" cards from there. I don't know how much, if not all, of that is redundant with the FAQs.

Excellent, I will sticky it, and eventually add it to the site.

I think he might mean that since the cards' effects specifies "Marines", they can only be played with Marine characters. While the "Marine" in the resource/restriction box of, say, Marine Short Course, is changed into "Human", the "Marine" in the effect box remains untouched. So, Distephano, controlled by Rogues, can use these cards, but not the other Rogues.
