Q: The Necromancer Commands allows a fighter, having failed an Attack action, to make ‘an Attack action that must target the same enemy fighter’. How does that interact with a Scything Attack action?

A: A Scything Attack action is treated as a number of individual Attack actions performed one after the other, and each of those Attack actions is separately judged as succeeding or failing based on whether or not its target is damaged. If one of the Attack actions made as part of the Scything Attack action fails, you can play The Necromancer Commands to make that single Attack action targeting the same fighter again.

Q: Can you score Masterstroke with damage caused by Twist the Knife or Trap?

A: You can score it with Trap (the reaction deals the damage that takes the enemy fighter out of action) but not Twist the Knife (the reaction does not deal damage, it simply increases the Damage characteristic of the Attack action).

Q: Hidden Paths says that the fighter is considered to have made a Move action. Does this count towards triggering cards like Kunnin' But Brutal and March of the Dead?

A: The fighter gains a Move token but Hidden Paths is not a Move action (or, indeed, an action of any kind). This means that Kunnin' But Brutal cannot be triggered by Hidden Paths (because there was no action to make the reaction to), and you cannot score Cover Ground from Hidden Paths (because it isn't a Move action). However, as the fighter is considered to have made a Move action in that round, that fighter does count for March of the Dead when you check that in the end phase.

Q: When I play Quick Advance, do I have to be able to choose two friendly fighters other than my leader, and do I have to push them if I play the card?

A: You do not have to be able to choose two friendly fighters other than your leader to play the card – you can play this card even if the only friendly fighter on the battlefield is your leader. When you play the card, you can choose to push the chosen fighters 0 hexes.

Q: If I draw Martyred or Strong Start during a round, after the condition to score them has been met, can I score them?

A: No. You must have these cards in your hand at the time the condition is met to score them.

Q: If both an enemy fighter and a friendly fighter are taken out of action at the same time, and those are the first fighters taken out of action in a round, can either player score Martyred and/or Strong Start?

A: No. There is no single first fighter taken out of action in that example.

Q: Can a fighter with this upgrade make a normal Move action?

A: No.

Q: When a fighter with this upgrade makes a Charge action how does it work?

A: The fighter does not move normally. Instead, you place them on any objective token. Note that you must still follow the other rules for making a Charge action, so there must be an enemy fighter within range and line of sight of one or more of the moving fighter's Attack actions at the end of its move.

Q: Can a fighter with a Move characteristic of 0 still use Faneway Crystal to Move to an objective token?

A: Yes (with the exception of fighters that cannot make Move actions, like the Stalagsquig).
