Deploying characters

Post by Dreadlegions »

After getting a few games in, it seems lots of people tend to play deployment of characters differently.

Some deploy at the very end, as in both armies deploy their units, if you only have characters left you say "Only characters left" and wait until your opponent has deployed every unit, then you deploy your characters.

Some deploy them after their units but without waiting for their opponent to finish all his regular units.

Which is the correct way? Are they essentially the same as any unit, just left till you have nothing left to deploy?

Or do you indeed wait until every unit has been deployed across all armies before deploying characters?

They are a "unit" (just like warmachines) so if you have 4 drops and your opponent has 6 drops your 4th drop will be your characters whereas their 6th will be their characters.

You deploy characters as your last "drop". Not as the last drop. So if your opponent is not done deploying his army when you get to characters - tough luck. You must reveal your hand now, theres no fancy waiting =]
