What does the keywordet Scout mean?

You can find it on a card like Alpha Legion Infiltrator.


I play Warhammer Invasion and know what it means in that game but just to make sure its not another meaning in Conquest I tryed to find a explamantion, But I cant find one.

By itself, absolutely nothing. It's there for other effects to key off of it. All the Traits are like that, even ones like Vehicle which are frequently paired with actual rules text. Most of them don't interact with anything yet, although there are some that do (Soldier, Warrior, Vehicle and Drone all come to mind).

That being said, Scout seems to be one of the more common Traits, so I wouldn't be surprised if we got some stuff working from it soon.

The Keywords that have special rules meaning in this game are all found on page 9 of the RRG.

Scout is simply a Trait that might be referenced by other card effects. Traits are defined on page 15 of the RRG.

"The keywords in the game are: Ambush, Area Effect,
Armorbane, Bloodied, Brutal, Flying, Immune, Limited,
Mobile, No Attachments, and Ranged. Each has an entry
in this glossary."

Thanks

Hopefully I get my 3 copies of the game tomorrow.

Love the podcast.

A small observation - Nate i England should bye a new microphone.

If there is some background sound when I listen It's hard to hear him.

Yeah we're aware. I bug him all the time. He needs to get a headset. He uses his onboard mic most of the time.
