LoS is part of “2 spaces away”

Here is a wonderfully worded AND illustrated question from the Facebook Group from Andy Scott who said I could share it here (thank you Andy).

Actually, I had the same question but never thought to ask (I was just playing it wrong:)

Here is the section of Vera’s character sheet that displays her special ability:

By requiring Line of Sight (LoS) it actually helps Vera get those free rerolls! From the illustration above you can see that Vera IS within two squares of Hiro and would not get a free reroll. However, the blue wall is blocking her line of sight, so when counting squares, she would need to count squares that get her into Line of Sight … either 3 or 4 squares away from Hiro. The top route for counting is 1, 2, (3 Hiro). The route going down is even longer at 1, 2, 3, (4 Hiro).

Hiro’s special ability also references being more than 2 squares away (which lets him move 2 extra squares for his basic move AND 2 moves with his Basic Interact):

Which Hero is Your Type?

About three weeks ago I went through some of the various aspects for each of the sixteen heroes that are available in Rogue Angels. One thing to consider when choosing your hero for a campaign is their starting personality! As the game progresses, that personality will continually be upgraded, expanded, enhanced or simply changed based on your choices in the game (and even if missions succeed or fail).

However … if you like a particular personality trait for your hero right from the very start, look over each of the 16 heroes because they each start with SOME personality trait(s). Well, there is one exception. Xalia starts with a clean slate in the personality quadrant… none of the quadrants has a mark pre-filled for Xalia!

Here is a link to the article that covers the starting personalities of each hero as well as the ones with the most shields and focus (and even scar ability):

(VC50) Board Games For One (one minute clip)

Board Games For One has a very nice concise presentation of Rogue Angels emphasizing how wonderful the game is for solo players (and after playing many missions solo myself, I can confirm this!). Playing solo, you chose TWO heroes to play the campaign with. Each hero has its own special ability and unique cards. This is a moving story driven legacy game with three difficulty levels and each hero can be played at the same or a different difficulty level. Enemies are controlled by a simple yet constantly changing AI system to keep you on your toes. There are branching paths (like a choose your own adventure) and the game will seem fresh on a second or third playthrough. The included “ship box” makes packing up and setting up easy.
