Do you follow the First Attack Rule? (Poll)


This is could be a simple "Yes" or "No" poll, but I am including a third option. "Sometimes", so that everyone can vote. Then people can discuss their reasons if they wish. emoticon

Here I quote the First Attack Rule section in its entirety from the Warhammer Quest Rule Book:

quote:

THE FIRST ATTACK RULE
Monsters placed in the Power Phase as a result of an Unexpected Event must obey the First Attack rule in the following Monsters' Phase. Monsters placed in the Monsters' Phase as a result of Warriors entering a Dungeon Room must also obey the First Attack rule in the next Monsters' Phase.

The First Attack rule simply states that Monsters placed to attack a Warrior will try to fight that Warrior when they make their first attack. Even if the Warrior has moved away, the Monster will follow and attack if it possibly can.

The First Attack rule overrides the normal One-on-One rule. The reason for this is that you have already decided who the Monsters will fight when they are placed. Once this turn of 'first attack' is over, the One-on-One rule is used to determine who the Monsters attack once more.

Bear in mind that Monsters are pinned in place if they start the Monsters' Phase next to a Warrior. Pinned Monsters always stay where they are, regardless of the First Attack rule.

Re: Do you follow the First Attack Rule?


In one place where WHQ fans were seriously discussing revising the rules (as a homebrew/community project), someone said that they had decided NOT to bother with the First Attack Rule (not to include it in their new revised rules), because no one used it! I think that was a small number of people, but it has made me curious...

I DO follow the First Attack Rule. emoticon

Since I own our groups game of WHQ, I direct most of the monster traffic. I TRY to remember to use the First Attack Rule, but sometimes it is a challenge to remember who attacked who once the monsters start moving and dying.

If monster is placed to attack Character 1 and Character 2, not 1, attacks said monster, monster goes after Character 2 no matter if Character 1 was first in its beady little eyes.
Pain is the greatest motivator!
I follow the reality of combat in this than Andy's attempt at numerical fairness.
