if this kraken moves 7 times per turn then that a lot of recording and posting

[Grendal]

I suggest a cap on movements per turn. lets say three.

The cataclysm that shook the earth has thrown up a horror from humanity’s distant past on the lonely island of Java…

A flock of GIANT PTERODACTYLS!!!

These monsters fly, so they move over both SEA ZONES and TERRITORIES equally easily.

They’re the fastest monsters in the game, with the same range as a fighter plane: 4 per turn!

They will move their full range, unless stopped by combat, in which case they will stay in that territory and feed.

They’re meat-hungry, and they paralyze 1d4 units of their prey per round in combat with terror (no shots back).

Their aim is quick and accurate: they unerringly kill 6 units during every round of combat.

And, while not incredibly tough, they are hard to hit and extremely numerous: to wipe out the flock, you need to hit them 8 times in combat.

Finally, if they win a battle, they go on a rampage and trash all of the infrastructure on the territories they attack.

On the board, they will be represented as a neutral battleship while at sea, and as a neutral bomber on land.

On the Italy turn, Pterodactyl comes to rest in SZ 43.

Carl, please edit it in as a neutral battleship.

This should make things a little more interesting in this ‘recovery’ period for humanity…

Please follow my pattern and give it 4 moves before every turn, e.g. at the beginning of ANZAC, France, and so on.

I agree with Matt that 7 spaces is far too much, but I want to test this bad boy at the limit of the 1d4 range to see how it plays out.

Stop it if it hits any inhabited spaces, and we’ll do battle on the forum here.

Terodactyl turn is done for Italy Carl just do you normal chaos roll and turn. I’ve also place the flying menace in SZ 43.

One question for Chris. Can a submarine attack this freak?

[Grendal]

and then submerge after first round, or does it get destroyer perk?

I assume that, like seabirds, these things rest on the surface of the ocean when they’re not flying.

So I say yes! If you get the chance to surprise attack them with subs, go for it!

Be warned though: these things are twice as tough as a FLYING SAUCER. They need to be hit 8 times in one combat to kill. So don’t attack them unless you’re sure you can win…

@Grendal:

PTEROS have no destroyer perks, so subs can slip away, unless they’re frozen by the 1d4 TERROR ability.
