Forced March with Questing Unit

By Count2, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

Just played a game with a friend of mine and we tumbled upon this question:

What happens if "Forced March" is played on a Unit that is currently questing.

The rulebook only state this (page 11): "If the questing unit leaves play for any reason, the quest card remains in play but all resource tokens accumulated on that quest card are discarded, and returned to the pool in the centre of the table."

Is the unit still questing?

Do the tokens have to be removed?

When the tokens are not removed and the unit is not questing any longer, what happens when the unit leaves play later?

We think that the resources stay on the quest. And the card is no longer considered as a questing unit.

Which means that no more tokens can accumulated and that when the unit leaves play later, the tokens are not removed from the quest.

Which leads to the next question:

When the active quest is "Infiltrate", does the discard effect still trigger because it does not mention a unit in the effect cost?

I always return all the tokens to the resource pool when the questing unit leaves the quest (stops questing) . I think it's the best option.

We had a long thread about it some time ago.

I am not sure about the conclusion, but I think there was no real one and we hoped for official answers.

The group I play with have all agreed that if a questing units gets "Forced March" to another area all tokens are discarded and returned to the pool and the unit is no longer considered questing, this was done to keep the game flowing until a proper FAQ comes out. So far nobody has complained about it.

Thanks for you feedback so far!

Is there a reason why there is no official statement about this problem?

Was Nate (or someone else) already informed about the existence of this question?

There has been an official statement on this rule. This was I believe the very first rules question posted on the site. You correctly interpreted the rule as written, but a clarification coming from the game developer Nate French has amended the rules so if a unit leaves the Quest card in any way the resources are removed.

We suspected this was going to be the ruling, as the other makes it a little complicated, and some quests like Infiltrate! too powerful, but Nate passed this ruling down quite a while ago, which is probably why you are having trouble finding it. A FAQ is in the works, and when it is completed it will be available on the Support page and should contain this as well as the other eratta for the rules and clarifications on certain cards that people keep trying to use incorrectly.

Thanks alot!

What also made it hard for me to find the ruling was, that when using the search form it gives results from ALL the forums avaialbe on this site. Even ones that aren't related to Warhammer Inavasion. Is there an advanced search somewhere in which you can a forum that should be searched that I haven't found yet?

I really like this site and the forum. But the search is a little bit useless the way it is.

Actually I think the search function is pretty much entirely useless.
