Questions about the Catapult	Mon, 11 October 2010 15:59

From the Rules: Once per turn, you may place the Catapult in a region you occupy to conquer any region that is 1 region away (but not adjacent) at 1 less token than usual. The Catapult may be used to attack a region beyond the Lake, but not over Seas. The region with the Catapult is immune to enemy conquests as well as their racial and special powers. The Catapult disappears when you go into Decline. Reading this has made me wonder... 1) The "Once per turn" applies to the placing of the catapult only or to the placing and the conquest? Can you attack more than one region with the aid of the catapult? 2) Three regions A, B and C, A&B and B&C are adjacent, A&C aren't. Does placing the catapult in A allow the conquest of C without having conquered B? or is the catapult only for combat support and you must conquer B in order to conquer C?

1) Once per turn only applies to the placement of the catapult. You can use the Catapult to conquer multiple regions in the same turn, from there. 2). You do not have to conquer B to attack C, in your example. You can catapult your troops over B and directly onto C. Just remember to strap on your helmet. [Report message to a moderator]

Can we jump above a region we control with the catapult ? For example with the same A,B and C (A, B and C, A&B and B&C are adjacent, A&C aren't), if I control A and B, can I jump from A to C with the catapult ? [Report message to a moderator]

Yes (and of course it's only region C that can be attacked at -1, not region B). [Report message to a moderator]

I don't really understand.. I control A and B, I don't use the catapult from my frontier, but I put it one territory behind (on A) to jump above B (that I already control !!) That way, can I take C with all the bonuses of the catapult ? I'm sorry if that was what you meant, but I just want to be sure.
