Hello everyone,
I received the game a few days ago, and I was really glad to see that Ulisses Spiele has done a rather good Job regarding the translation of the game(and Anima Studios with the rule Book itself).
But I still have two questions.

1. Is it possible to do a ranged attack if you are engaged in melee ? I couldn't find a rule preventing this.

2. Second, if you want to intercept a ranged attack, does the character who do this actually move ? I don't think so, the rulebook is rather clear at this topic but, if the answer is yes, is it possible do intercept a ranged attack when you are engaged in melee ?

You can't do a ranged attack if you are engade in melee.

No; you don't move and you can't intercept a ranged attack if you are in melee.

Easy enough, thanks for the quick answers. I'm sure that tech and I were not the only ones that were wondering. I assumed that you could not shoot while in melee, that seems to be a pretty standard rule, but you never know what those crazy Anime guys can do.

Speaking of ranged attacks, I just finished reading through the rulebook and discovered that there is no official definition of 'line of sight.'  While anyone who's played a miniatures game will be able to figure this out themselves, it's worth putting in for new players who haven't played a game like this before.

Could you tell a little more about this rulebook ?

At the back of the german starter Rulebook are mentioned , new optional rules to play with maps, Backgroundinformation about Gaia, character-sheets ?, new scenarios, maps etc. ?
However I can hardly imagine a big rulebook out of this.
 
- How many pages are planned for:
  - rules ?
  - background ?
- Are the mentioned printed, or do you have to copy them ?
- What is meant with character sheets ?
- Estimated price ?
- Hardcover or Paperback ?

- And last but not least Release Date ? Wink

Oh,
you're right  Embarrassed
Additionally to my bad english, this sentence is incomplete Cheesy

I wanted to ask if the 'maps', which are mentioned on the backside of the rulebook , are already printed and ready to play, or do we have to copy them out of the book to DinA4 and put them together.

However,
many thanks for your answers, it's good to see such a great customer support.

Ah, excellent.  Very glad we'll be seeing an independent rulebook, and a hardcover one at that!
