A question on impact.
Consider this testcase:
1) Disk A is pinning disk B.
2)Disk C, with Impact, moves over A (pinning it) and overlapping (but not directly touching) disk B.
Disk A suffers impact, but Disk B?
Thanks in advance!

Impact question
Good question!
So, short version is, with the rules written as they are, the disk with impact MUST directly pin a disk to do impact damage. Overlapping does not trigger impact.
From the rules on page 19 defining overlap:
A disk does not have to be in contact with another disk or terrain
piece to overlap it. A disk can overlap another disk even if there is
an intervening disk between them. Because of this, a disk that is
overlapping another disk is not necessarily pinning that disk.
From the rules on page 21 defining impact:
Impact X. A disk with impact deals physical damage equal to its impact
value to each disk it pins after a flip. A disk cannot deal impact damage
to a disk it was already pinning prior to flipping. Impact damage is not
applied when a disk is deployed or reinforced pinning another disk, or
when a flying disk moves over a disk without ending its movement.
As a rather humorous note, I actually played this the wrong way this past weekend.
Thanks!
