What happens when a fighter gets pinned behind cover, say a barricade?
Well, think of it this way. All players play differently. The school of players that uses markers to represent ‘pinned’ and ‘down’ do not have this problem because other fighters can still see the ‘pinned’ or ‘down’ fighter behind the barricade. Those of us, myself included, places a model on its back if ‘pinned’ and face down if ‘down;’ however, we need to remember that shots can still be taken at the ‘pinned’ or ‘down’ fighters as if they were standing. Status of a fighter does not affect its cover modifiers because they are now 'harder' or 'easier' to see when placed on their sides. Technically there is no mention of placing figures prone in the ORB, but rather to note it on your gang roster. Q: In the Terrain section of the 2005 NRC FAQ, the question on pinning is a little confusing. Does this mean that a fighter that is pinned stops where it is then? Doesn’t this conflict with the pinning rules in the ORB? A: Sorry for the confusion on this one. ORB page 16 doe
