Handcuffs

Well, shit. Maybe that's what I meant to say the first time. Or not. They're both Half Minds, so the only real difference is fudging their behaviour.

That being said, making them a Submissive creature might work better for a capture-the-slave scenario where the captive is equally unwilling to be on either team. That way, they can be treated more like an objective than an actual minifig.

The only issue with this is the fact that a sniper could take a hostage from across the battlefield. Even if the captive were to notice the red laser, he wouldn't have any idea what the sniper wanted him to do. That's why I like the 2" option.

See, I think that's hilarious - I like the idea of telling a prisoner to get out there and fight or else the resident sniper is gonna do some long-distance brain surgery.

I only want to shy away from the 2" option because that's another static variable you'll have to memorize while using the handcuffs. I'd rather go with players saying "well I think my guys are probably close enough to have control" and doing a WISG roll. 2" is also pretty close - having more than 3 guys within range of a hostage means that a lot more attention is going to be focused on what they're doing, not the captive. At that point it won't really matter who "controls" him. I suppose that having more than one faction within 2" would just confuse the fig and they wouldn't know who to trust yet.

Yeah, I like that idea better. It's alot easier to remember and and it makes sence. Thanks!
