Beginners question: Actions

By Murtl, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

Hi!

I just have one short question about actions i did not find in the forum. By the way, sorry for my bad english.

I read the following ruling in the forum: You can take actions as many times as you wish, as long you can pay the cost of the action.

Is this true only for cards in play (units, support, quests) or can i use actions on tactic cards more than once?

Ex.: There is a tactic card that says something like this: "pay x resources to deal x damage to enemy. x is the amount of developements in your capital"

Lets say i have two developments. Can i play the tactic card, pay 6 additional resources to deal 6 damage?

What about tactic cards that say: "destroy one damaged unit". Can i use the actions more than once? It would be very, very strong if it's possible.

So in general: Witch actions can be used multiple times and which not?

I hope you can help me and understand my english.

Thanks!!!!!

Any action that is an 'ability' printed on a card can be used as many times as you can pay its cost.

Tactics can only be played once for each copy you have. So if you only have one copy of Twin Tailed Comet in your hand you can only play it once.

Close. Effects that say Action: , specifically, on units, supports, and quests may be played more than once. All others may not.

And your English is quite good. It's better than many native speakers that I know. gui%C3%B1o.gif

How is that any different from what I said?

Good grief. Lay down somewhere. What you said included triggered effects and the like. You've been at this game for a matter of days and what, you're a rules assassin now? Lighten up, wouldja?

What do you mean "triggered effects and the like"?

Paying for an action triggers an effect. Forced actions are triggered by something happening and could contain a cost but you don't pay to initiate them. I don't see anything in the rules referenced as a "triggered effect".

serio.gif Wow. I just......wow.

lol, come on guys - lets answer the question. i dont think ive seen 'ability' mentioned anywhere in WH:I...

"Yes, as long as you can pay the cost, there is not a limit to the number of times you can play the action unless specified on the card."* You must also fulfill the conditions, like an already corrupted unit cannot use an ability that requires them to be corrupted - that cannot be fulfilled!

* see FAQ thread: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp?efid=154&efcid=4&efidt=275390

response actions:

FAQ states: 'Each response action can be triggered once per copy of the response action and only once per stated trigger' - eg. 2 dwarf rangers in the quest zone cause 2 separate points of damage for each dwarf units that leave play.

Thanks for the answers!!!!

So to sum it up:

I can use actions on untis, supports and quests as many times as i can pay their cost. If they have a special trigger (for ex. "at the beginning of your turn") i can only use them once.

Actions on tactic cards can only be used once.

Is this correct?

Thanks again!
