Now it would be hilarious if mipe (Hulk X-90) had a Move 3 in register 2 and I used the tractor beam, wouldn't it? But I'm gambling that his next move is a Turn Right which would sort of put a cramp in my plans. So I'm just going to shoot him with my laser - pew pew!

Egads - another potential option card for Remus West (Squash Bot)! Nice flag defense there, by the way.
What with all the pushing, do Remus West (Squash Bot) and I each get "assist" credit on the pit-jumping demise of mipe (Hulk X-90)?

Remus, you have the option to get an option card or heal 2 points of damage.
mipe, you have the option of playing turn 4 at 2 points of damage or being shut down. Your archive is still at the start location.

You noted mipe's archive location updating when he stepped on (phase 3) the double wrench I'm currently standing on. Did he need to end a phase there to actually update (I pushed him back off before phase ended)? If he did update how does he come on with me standing there? Does he spend another turn insubstantial?Isgrimnur wrote:Remus, you have the option to get an option card or heal 2 points of damage.

You are correct in many ways. He needed to end the phase there to get credit, same as for flags.

If he did come back at an occupied square, he would spend the turn virtual.

Thanks for adding a scoreboard to the top post. What do you think about adding a Flag column so we know what player is the highest priority target which flag each player is heading for this turn?

I'm pretty sure I'm safe from most hits. Those holes between me and Squash are very nice.
