assasine position qestion

Post by John silver »

Hi, All.
Excuse me, may be this question was asked before, but I should ask it.
When we decide where our assassin is stay (in which unit) when we make our roster or in the beginning of the each game?

Use a dice roll to determine which unit it's in, so it's a suprise for both of you. =p

I used to put my assassin on the board edge, even in lists that didn't include him. Keeps opponents on the edge about charging you with units that are going to lose thier element of attacking first.

I'd do that too normally... but my current list doesn't have a single unit that can have an assassin <.<

Okay, enough.

It is turning into spam pool.

If I see one more one liner post like these few above, there will be violence.

I think you have to decide before the battle starts so your opponent can't acuse you off being unfair, although being unfair is just part of being a Druchii :twisted: .

Also the rulebook states "Make a note of which unit the Assassin is hiding in." (Page 61) so you can't have the assassin jump wherever you want.

I ususally don't decide where I put my assassin(s) until the game and I see what arym I am going to enslave. However I usually put him in witch elves or warriors with random execptions depending upon army I am facing and what area I need to improve. Just try to be honest (I know it is hard for us druchii) and not move him mentally once you have figured where you put him and the game has started.
