Dragging Things

[Robert Kurcina]

This is an optional rule because it will not likely see much game-time unless a situation calls for it but I think it should be codified.

PROPOSAL

1. Optional Rule.  Characters in base-contact may drag other characters and drag larger targets as part of a Move action.  
2. When moving the Active character, displace the target to maintain base-contact as well.
3. If the SIZ of the target dragged is the same as SIZ degrade terrain by 1 level. If the target is +1 more than SIZ, degrade terrain by 2 levels.  If +2 more than SIZ, allow only movement only by Agility.
4. Dragging will cause a character to acquire a Delay token if the target is at least SIZ - 1.
5. Two or more characters in base-contact with the target may use the highest SIZ among them +1 per model.  Move all characters together maintaining base-contact; all receive a Delay token.

ANALYSIS

Why would players want to use the Dragging Things rule?  Maybe there is a downed Character that needs to be moved to safety away from LOF.  Maybe there is a huge satchel of explosives that needs to be positioned properly.  I think players could get creative with Rope as well.

Again, fine as an optional rule or advanced rule.

Optional Rule.  Only because I saw it in Tercio Creativo.  Closing.
