Card clarification, please.

Does the 'Press each combat' on the Sportsbike mean mandatory press or optional press? Thanx, Ric

In article <Pine.SUN.3.91.95082...@winnie.freenet.mb.ca>, [ quoted text not captured ] The "+1 intercept' on the Sport Bike is (wrongfully, IMHO) ruled to be optional. The is the only example of optional intercept. The idea is that since weapons are inherently optional, that all equipment is optional. The "Optional Press once per Turn" on the Hawg is optional (correctly ruled, due to card text and the nature of presses, IMHO). -- ----- L.

[ quoted text not captured ] Peace Joe, True and false. The Hawg, not the Sport Bike, provides an OPTIONAL press once per game turn. Nil carborundum illigitimi, James R. McClure Jr. The OS/2 Apostle <insert disclaimer here>

After all, when you've got a motercycle, you can normally choose to either ride away from your 'prey'(end combat) or pursue your 'prey', isn't it? I hope this helps. --Maarten <Rene....@ping.be> ---

It says that combat automatically has a press to continue combat, for three rounds past the last card being played. Of course, if you have another press, you can cancel out the trap's press.. but usually a person that throws down a trap card typically has presses of his own (to continue combat). Joseph.

Actually, it's a HAWG you're thinking of...not a sports bike. And while it's not specifically stated as optional, it just HAS to be.

And while : it's not specifically stated as optional, it just HAS to be. Where's the : logic of "Well, you've got a Harley now so you have to keep flinging : yourself into combat now." <g> There was a DTR a while ago stating that using equipment is always optional, while "using" retainers never is. So, you might use your Hawg or not, but your Murder of Crows, e.g., will do their damage. Even if your acting minion dodges, btw.
