Hi there,

First, I just got IA for Christmas and my son and I are learning the game through playing LotA. So my question may be really stupid, but here goes:

With as few spoilers as possible, I’ll simply say that on a mission we were playing there was a nexu. We were playing with two heroes. We were in a 2-wide hallway in a staggered position (adjacent diagonally). The nexu’s first instruction was to move so it was adjacent to both of us and attack, but it couldn’t get adjacent to both of us because of our staggered position. So my question is, do we skip this instruction entirely and move to the next, or does the nexu simply move so it is adjacent to one of us and attack?

The second instruction, by the way, said move 6 to my hero and attack, which it couldn’t do (I was seven movement points away). It could, however, move to my son’s hero (4 MP away) and attack him. It’s my understanding that the “next hero available” rule would kick in there and the nexu WOULD attack my son’s hero, which makes me think even more that the first instruction should be skipped if the nexu can’t get adjacent to both of us.

Any insight would be great. Thanks!

I would agree with your interpretation of the rules.

Correct. When an instruction requires 2 or more, it is skipped if you cannot satisfy 2 or more.

Targeting priority would then apply to the next attack.

Great. Thanks, guys!

This may be my misunderstanding since I just started playing as well, but if you two were adjacent diagonally then couldn't it just walk up and be adjacent orthogonally to both of you?

Not possible for a 2x2 figure (Nexu) in a 2-wide corridor.

Ahaha, I just realized that in my session after posting when I saw they're larger based!
