Guys,
A quick one for your thoughts and playing styles.
Its rare for us to play huge linfantry lists where you actually care about which guy dies, and normally its pretty straight forward (allocate hits, roll saves) so not much debate.
But what to people do in rare instances, such as Gorgons taking a crit?
E.g you have a commisar and a commander in a gorgon with a load of bog standard infantry (Star Trek extras...) and you suffer a crit killing 2 stands. How do you decide who gets it in the throat?
In Warhammer (played twice..) i recall that it was assumed that some brave sole stood in front of the boss and took one for the team. I guess this would be interpreted in epic as the player taking the hits decides.
This pretty much makes sence as it matches a situation like a CC assault, where the player chooses who is in front.
I have though, had a few games with that gentleman of sportsmen, john cole, where we have plucked out the D12 and given everyone a number.
This of course is great fun, but doesnt make for a fast game.
What do people normally do? Home / tournaments?
(Also does anyone remember the Caniggia red card at the 2002 world cup?
