Pitch invasion & Apo

[Arkan]

A question jumped to mind:
Following situation happened last week:
I rolled Pitch invasion, won, rolled 6 and started injuring players.
Now in that case nothing serious happened, but when rethinking it, I had a question. Is there a sequence to the injury roles? That would be important for the use of the Apo if there was players of different value ...

Two scenarios:
a) the injury roles happen in sequence and with each casualty the apo can be used.
b) all injuries are rolled first, then you can pick on which casualty you want to use the apo.

A variation of a and b would be, all players are selected first, then the coach that is being hammered puts them in a sequence and then scenario a applies (that way you would have your most valuable players first and could decide to use the apo without being afraid that you'd need him in another more valuable case).

Would vote for a).

its (a)

Just because you roll for injury for players in a certain order it doesn't mean that they are injured in that order. The crowd come on and perform their "actions" in one go. The player by player rolls are just mechanics.

Hence the coach with the injured players can chose which injury to heal after all the injuries have been done.

its (a)

don't you mean B?

Anyways, I think it is B. The invasion happens all at once, so the player can choose which injury to use the apoth on, after all have been determined.

You're right.

[Asmodan]

i agree its b)

[Arkan]

thanks, that was also my prefered solution.

I'll guess we'll take that then as a clarification to the official rules.

Cheers, off for a two week vacation

Definitely B.

Is this an official answer? Just wondering!

Want an official answer?

Sorry can't give it. But given the wording of the Apoth "At any time during a match" and...

Field Invasion: Each coach rolls two dice and
adds their side’s fan factor to the score. A tie
means that both teams are affected. High score
wins, injuring a number of randomly selected
players on the losing team and on the pitch
equal to the roll of one dice. Roll for the effects
of the injuries straight away. No Armour roll is
required.

I think b) is the better option of the two.

[Tim]

Hmm i'd prefer (b) as well.

However, some people may argue that if someone is hurt and you do another injury roll to check for another player, you can't heal the first one any more because it's not "immediatly" after the injury (roll).

Would the same apply if i throw an multiple block on two players and smack them both down? Armour Roll1 - Injury Roll1, Armour Roll2 - Injury Roll2, then decide to use apo on injury1? In "real life" it's the same time both players go down. In game mechanics there are two more dice rolls after the first injury.

[Alesdair]

The same applies to other situations of simultanious injury, like multi-blow.

The obvious is that since the injuries happened simultaniously, the actual dice roll order is irrelevent.

PO is a one-way injurie.
More equal to things like being hit by a flying player, both down results .. and ehhhh

[Alesdair]

*slaps head*

sorry, i ment Multi Blow...
I just had pileon on the brain.

I'll just edit to show that...
