Let say I have 3 guys Untapped, and facing 3 strikes @ 8 prowess.
I assign my strikes to all 3 characters.
I choose to face the 1st strike with 1st character untapped.
Then face the 2nd strike with the 2nd character untapped.
Then face the 3rd strike with the 3rd character tapping,
in addition tho I then tap char #1 and char #2 to give +2 support to this character.
Now I don't like getting particular with English vernacular, but in this case I am trying to make sure my combat technique is legal.
I ran across this quote:
So here is my LOGIC:7 • COMBAT (page 56, METW.pdf)
An untapped character that is not the target of a strike may tap to support a character in the same company that is the target of a strike. The target’s prowess is modified by +1 for each supporting character.
Clarification: If a character is assigned a strike from an attack, he may not tap to support a character that is facing a strike from the same attack.
An ally may tap to give a +1 prowess modification in this manner.
An untapped character that is not the target of a strike may tap to support a character in the same company that is the target of a strike.
Heretofor I have considered as long as I face the strike and that strike is gone, i.e. the character a no longer the target of a strike he is legal to use for support.
I can't tap 1st and support, I must face the strike -3 NOT TAPPING, then I can tap to support, later.
REASONING:
The quote from the rules could have said:
An untapped character that is not the target of a strike, nor faced a strike, may tap to support a character in the same company that is the target of a strike.
Cause the thing is those characters (#1 & #2) are no longer targets of strikes, the strikes have been faced the strikes are gone...
I am good right?
Thanks for any advice, and clearance!
