If he is adjacent to the foe he will attack as normal. If friends are in the way he will walk through them. Walking though friendly troops inflicts 1 hit as if in melee. If the box he moves into is fully occupied then he displaces one of those units. The Giant and the passed through unit are swapped. Unit orientations are kept as they are.<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><b>Death Throes<\/b><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">When a Giants is killed he falls!

This does not apply when being charged and when striking back.<br>Troops with this characteristics add 2 VP to the army<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hatred <em>(Type)<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops with this characteristic add 1 to any close combat card drawn against the type listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kamikaze<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops with this characteristic must be represented with a Kamikaze model. When the unit they belong to charges, or is charged, the Kamikaze is released. The Kamikaze is detached from the unit immediately (before any charge combat) and moves &#8211; using Deviation. Kamikaze subsequently deviate in the same way at the start of each player turn.<br>If the Kamikaze moves into a box containing terrain he is destroyed.<br>If the Kamikaze moves into a box contains any troops he inflicts 1 hit.

At the beginning of the game they are placed off table. Starting from turn 2 they can activate in an attempt to arrive. You must draw a 5+ for them to deploy in a box on the player base edge. The card drawn is placed as their activation value as per normal.<br>However, if you draw a 10 PIP card then they may deploy on a size edge box. This activation does not qualify as a charge. Once deployed they can continue to activate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Littoral<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops with this characteristic can treat impassable water features as open terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=196&amp;action=edit\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/?page_id=196\">(A-F)<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/?page_id=86\">(G-L)<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/?page_id=199\">(M-R)<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/?page_id=201\">(S-Z)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><p style=\"text-align: right;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed'; font-size: 10pt;\">V.6.2<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed'; font-size: 10pt;\">06th Jul 202<\/span><span style=\"color: initial; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\">5<\/span><span style=\"color: initial; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\"><font face=\"Roboto Condensed\" size=\"2\"> <\/font><\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nGlorious Charge Troops with this characteristic count as Fanatic, when charging using a lance.
