[@magnum696]

This instructional series is very well put together. Thank you for this!

[@earnestwanderer2471]

Hit box. Genius. I love it.

[@manticgames]

Glad you like it!

[@thetempter9023]

Really enjoying the game so far, love the elites. Really hope for more convent additions maybe grunts could be 3 grunts 2 elites with grunts being weaker😅 Or maybe hunters as a hero unit ! Cant wait soo see whats to come.

[@manticgames]

The future is bright ... keep watching and we'll be showing more of what's to come.

[@Annihilator27]

When are we getting the scarab gun?

[@denver82a]

Andy, these are so helpful!!!

[@manticgames]

Glad you’re finding them worthwhile and thanks for the feedback too.

[@jonners606]

Officially speaking, does 1 wound token = 1 wound, or is it the number of bullet holes on the token? I feel like this would be good to clarify so it doesn't cause any confusion with different players doing it different ways.

[@manticgames]

It’s designed so that each bullet hole is one wound so that you don’t need to have lots of tokens on your card.

[@jonners606]

@manticgames perfect thanks. Thought so when I saw you could flip them but just wanted to check!

FAQ: when the Threat Sensor item is in play, LOS requirement is ignored for ranged attack. Would shots be 'clear' or not?

[@sullivanquinn9891]

NEED HELP! If my model has the SPNKr, which has the “explosive” key word which says I have to have line of sight of a cube. Can I shoot a model that is one level higher than me if I can see the model? Or because of the “cube” key word do I need to be able to see the “floor of the space” that model is standing on?

What happens to a pick up weapon when you die with one does it just drop

[@manticgames]

If you die in close combat your opponent takes the weapon, but if you die to a ranged attack you take the weapon out of the arena with you, place the token on one of your respawn points, and then you can chose to bring it back with you when you respawn. Page 36 of the rulebook, second column of ‘Weapons’ section.

Unobscure view gets an extra two dice? Blimey, make pewpew ultra deadly

[@manticgames]

That’s right. Make sure you’re not left standing out in the open!

[@pudetr1mmer]

so armour doesn’t diminish? say i shoot with 3 without energy shields and take one health after the armour of 2. is the armour than gone or does it still stand next time i shoot them?

[@manticgames]

The shields deplete however the armour is always there. Sometimes your weapon has an AP (armour penetration) that negates it.

[@pudetr1mmer]

thank you !

[@JoshMC2000]

Serious question why didnt you guys just drop theese all at once?

[@manticgames]

KZbin has a weird quirk that if we release them all at once then they don’t share them all out and we’ve had that problem in the past when releasing multiple videos at once so we chose to release 1 per day to see if it had a different effect. These videos aren’t just relevant today but will be for some time so it’s important that they don’t get buried away and get enough views to rank when someone searches for how to play Halo Flashpoint in the future.

[@unhingedmanchild]

Can a model have LOS to itself?

[@FranticGamer117]

Interesting question. What situation would require that?

[@unhingedmanchild]

@FranticGamer117 If using spartan snapshot (throwing a plasma grenade) against an attacker with the active camo item (prevents LOS) and at least 2 successes are rolled for grenade range test, do we stick ourselves?

[@FranticGamer117]

@@unhingedmanchild hahaha. It says you have to pick a model within LOS. If you can't see the enemy, i guess it must be stuck to you instead. Lol. Very risky tactic. Can you see your own feet? Answer is yes!

[@unhingedmanchild]

@FranticGamer117 it has been argued on one of the discords that exploding your own cube counts for snapshot, since you only need LOS to the cube for this AND you are still technically making a shoot action against the attacker.

[@Annihilator27]

How do you factor in distance when shooting at someone higher than your model?

[@manticgames]

Just count the cubes along the ground between them. The only time height would really matter to range is if you or were at a height difference to your enemy greater than the shoot range but you’d have to be building some very hight terrain for this to ever happen.

[@davidnorris8724]

For $75 it should have came with the double sided board. A paper play field and warped bases🤦🏼‍♂️ I have $60 board games with better components and value. Recon is $50 at best. Why are rules on back of playfield 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@manticgames]

I think you might have missed that one side of the play mat is to get you started in a smaller, easier to learn version of the game which helps you to understand the rules as they’re all around the outside of the play area for quick reference. Then once you have the rules down you flip the mat over and play the full size game. The rule book explains this.
