Giants – Rules clarification
The rules for a giant are as per the rule book and subsequent errata.
Turning:
• A giant can turn during any part of its movement and as clarified in the Errata, turning does not cost any squares of movement.
• You must use a move action to turn, even if you do not move any squares it still counts as movement. As such, should you have an opponent player marking your giant from behind (Where a giant does not have tackle zones) you cannot turn to block them without declaring and using the blitz action.
• After a block, whether alone or part of a blitz you may turn your giant to face any direction as per the errata.
• If using multiple block, both targets must be in your giant tackle zones when you declare the block action, you cannot hit one player then turn to hit another as both blocks take place at the same time. Once both blocks are completed you may then turn your giant as normal.
Blocking a Gnome with Trickster:
•The Gnome can still be moved as per the skill however they are not allowed to be moved to a square where the block cannot continue. Such as the back of the giant. They must be placed into an active tackle zone of the giant.
