Flank Attacks

[sirchristopher2]

Are you allowed to counter, parry, riposte in close combat when attacked from outside your cone of vision?

Thanks,

[stubby]

For most situations, yes. Most units that are able to engage in close combat are able to turn around pretty instantly, and I think it says in the book somewhere that "no minifig is able to get the drop on another." I may add an exception for stealthy units in the 2010 book, haven't decided yet.

Yes, he did announce the 2010 edition and has shared some elements of it already.
