Subject: [NetEpic ML] Pinning..


Hi all!

Nils and I recently played a game in which a stuation which caused some
arguing arose. He pinned some
of my Necron Assaults (which had yet to move) with 2 infantry stands and a
rhino. Now, i realise they
would be pinned according to the rules, but they do have warp capability.
Why can't they simply escape
by warping? This seems very logical to me, just push a button and off you
go.

---->I guess it involves more than just pushing a button, you also have to
calculate a point of arrival, much like the Hyperdrive-programing skill the
pilots in Star Wars RPG has to make. A little difficult to do when you are
assaulted by some ravaging orks....

Also, the movement of
all units are considered to be simultaneous, so it's not like they're
standing idly by, waiting to be pinned.

---->Actually, they are. As they are calculating the next warpjump they are
standing by, idle for enemy assaults....

If they had to walk towards the enemy, i concede that they would be pinned,
but a unit with warp capability
shouldn't be able to be pinned imho. To my mind, this simply isnt logical.
If anybody could explain the logic
behind this rule, id be grateful :)

---->In addition to the logic above, it would be hopless inballanced if they
never where to be pinned, and thats the best logic of it all! :)
