Welcome to another game of Pixel Tactics! Hopefully we play this one to best of 3 :shobon:

Pixel Tactics is a card game based around squad tactics, energy management, and positioning. The :siren:

RULES

are not entirely simple, but for the most part straightforward.

Tollymain: Jul 9, 2010; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

an attack power is basically a special action the character can do in lieu of an attack (i.e. you can use that action with effects that allow you to make an attack without specifying a melee or ranged attack or a target, and you can't use the attack power and attack with that character in the same wave without using an outside effect, just like you can't attack twice without using some kind of outside effect.

my last 15 minutes were a comedy of errors

first i put the dragon mage on the wrong side of the field

then i realized i was putting juto's rear wave actions in the flank wave post

then i realized i hadn't even CREATED a rear wave post

somewhere in there i ended up not changing/somehow putting the url to the wrong dragon mage recruitment png while fixing the bigger issues :v:

Apologies, but it's tricky to be sure - how many cards do you have in your hand, Spincut?

Alright, I'll then start off this phase by playing an Illusionist as an Order card.

# ? Nov 3, 2014 03:54

Alien Rope Burn: Dec 5, 2004; _{I wanna be a saikyo HERO!}

Attacks are as follows:

Paladin and Doppleganger attack the Homonculus.
Homonculus attacks the Vampire.
Due to an Order card being played, my Berserker can do a ranged attack. She'll hit the Dragon Mage.

For my second action, I'll restructure the Homonculus to the leftmost space in the rear wave. Then, for my third action, I'll move the Berserker into the center space of the front wave, where the Homonculus just was.
