The larger Heavy Gear Blitz Living Rulebook will be changing to become the HGB Forces Compendium and will include all the factions and their model lists, but no rules to keep the page count down and make a printed book version available in the future.

      Rules Questions:

      By Red Zaku · Posted

      1. Control Markers In the book it says you can designate models or buildings as control markers, I'm curious as to the intent of this option as it opens up a number of further questions over buildings and buildings that are larger than 4 inches. 1.a. If you designate a building as a control marker, do you have to be within 4 inches of the building or a point in the building? 1.b. If you designate a building over 4" tall as a control marker, does standing on top of the building count towards controlling that control marker? 1.c. If you designate a building as a Control Marker, can that building still be destroyed? If so, is controlling it considered to be within 4" of where the building was or do you designate a point in the footprint of the previous building to place a control marker? 2. Movement Does Having both Walking and Hover as a movement type negate the penalty of using hover through area terrain"? I would assume yes as Hover makes it difficult terrain, which can be traversed at no penalty due to Walking, but would like to make sure. 3. Top Speeding/Hiding Can you keep the Hide token the turn you top speed? In The "Activation Phase" section, it says tokens are updated after the model has finished its activation. The Page detailing the Hide action is ambiguous in tense as to whether or not it applies to the turn hide is activated.

      I'm not familiar with recent AI technology, but is it possible to translate the book content into other languages using AI such as CATGDP for the KS target amount?

      2 answers to that In the actual core book there is a "players guide" which is a chapter where we kind of break the fourth wall and talk, as writers, directly to the reader. It provides detailed examples on the execution side of the game mechanics. The rules of course have examples but the players guide shows off more with some different goals in mind.  Second answer is we are planning something, funding permitting, to also assist with it as more of an interactive tutorial
