FAQS - Punkapocalyptic

What the FAQ?

Do you have questions about rules?

In this section, we’ll try to cover any questions you may have regarding the rules, or clarify any unclear points that may remain.

With so many special scenarios, constantly growing gangs, new rules, and more, it’s quite common for one concept to conflict with another or create some kind of loophole or misunderstanding. Well, this is the place to try to clear up those doubts, gang member.

WTF?

RULEBOOK

How big are the bases?

All miniatures have 25 mm round bases, except some beasts and motorbikes, which use 40 mm.

I like some compatible miniatures but I can't find their corresponding profile, how do I know their attributes?

In Punkapocalyptic you can use any miniature to represent any profile in the game (as long as they have some similarity).

As for the compatible miniatures, we give you an idea of the profile they can represent, but you can use them how and where you want. In another band, to represent another profile…

In short: you can make the band you want using the miniatures you want. Just make it clear to your opponent at the beginning of the game.

How exactly do template weapons make an impact?

They automatically hit everything underneath.

The Paramean Cat, how does it work exactly and what is it for? Can I use the cat from one faction in another?

The cat costs 10 points and allows you or your opponent to reroll during the game. It is the only miniature in the game that has to be official. You can use any cat in any faction, it would be like a kind of mercenary.

If you are in combat, are you obliged to take actions?

If you are not Unami, yes. Being Unami you can decide to reserve Mojo Points for other miniatures. The rest are obliged to use all Actions indicated by their Attribute Actions, as long as they remain in a melee Combat. It could either fight or detach from the Combat.

In tied die rolls, who wins when a tie occurs outside of a player turn? For example a turret shot in the High Tension scenario.

It is assumed that it is the turn of whatever triggered the roll. In the turret example, it is the turret that would therefore win the opposed roll.

How wide is the "imaginary line" that is affected by a weapon under the Steam Special Rule?

As if you were drawing it with a pencil. For practical purposes, the tape measure on its edge.

Regarding sub-factions, can I only use the profiles listed in the sub-faction document to set up my gang?

These profiles are unique to that sub-faction. But you can also use some general profiles.

To give you an idea: sub-factions add certain restrictions to the base band and give it new options. All sub-factions specify which profiles you can and cannot use from the main faction. For example in the Fraus Subfaction it states that:

“You can use Bosses, Machacas, Piltrafas and Brutas from the Gangsters. This subfaction does not have Tanners, as these cool people ride bugs.”

All of these allowed profiles are found in the general Gangs document, in the Gangster faction. In addition, that sub-faction has other profiles unique to it. In the case of the Fraus, that would be the Amacizonas.

EQUIPMENT

Does the equipment included in the miniatures such as the mace of the Keeper of the Flame, the armour of many troops or the equipment carried by Mercenaries or Personalities have to be paid for?

No, all this equipment is already included in the miniature points.

With an automatic rifle, if I hit the target with the first bullet, can I use the other 2 for other targets? If I don't hit the target with the first or second bullet, can you decide to stop firing?

No. If you decide to use automatic mode (which you can decide to use normal mode even if it is an automatic weapon) you must use 3 bullets against the same target, even if it dies on the first shot. The advantage is that all these shots only take up one Action.

Can bows be used in combat?

Yes, it would be like a light mace.

Does contamination protection save me from radiation?

No, it gives you a bonus to the radiation roll but does not save you from it.

JUNKERS

Can a Dynamo with a Cacharras of the trade fix a weapon damaged by the CATAPUM! rule of a damaged bullet?

Yes, that’s what they’re designed for. With a successful Technique roll you can fix any weapon.

How many times can you try to fix a weapon with Cacharras del oficio?

As many as you like, as long as you’re willing to spend Shares to try it.

Whatever you want, as long as you’re willing to spend Shares to try it.

How many Dynamos can I have in a Junkyard gang?

As many as you like. They are not their leaders, but just another cog in the machine.

If a firebomb lands in an area where a miniature is already downed, is its equipment destroyed?

Yes, it is.

Can the telescopic sight of the Junkers be used with the Pumper?

No, the telescopic sight can only be applied to rifles.

MUTARDS

The Beasts of the Pit already have the mutations Axe and Hardy and Hard skin (3) included. Do these count towards the maximum of 3 that can be repeated in the band?

Indeed. The mutations included in the Beasts, as well as the mutations they can acquire separately, count towards the maximum allowed. Which in fact makes it impossible to have more than 3 Beasts of the Well in the gang.

BLACK BLOOD CHILDREN

Doesn't the flame retardant special rule offer any protection against flamethrowers?

No, it won’t hold a jet of that power. It’s just for the Firebomb templates right now.

Does an arsonist with burnt skin also lose toughness when burnt by activating the 'Give him heat' skill?

Yes, he loses it too.

Is the flaming weapon always on and does it always give the combat penalty?

That’s it, you go with it already on fire from home. In the end it’s a team with those stats and that’s it.

Does an unrefuelled chainsaw count as an improvised weapon?

Yes, it does indeed become an improvised weapon.

Can a burned player use the "Martyr" rule to stand base to base with an enemy miniature (at the same time as he stands with an ally) and activate "For the Black Blood!"?

A burned may also use Martyr on a miniature hit in a melee Combat. If it survives it will be involved in that multiple Combat now in contact with both miniatures, yes.

If a ninja kills an arsonist with Molotov cocktails, which comes first, the 5cm movement of the ninja or the dropping of the cocktails with the corresponding explosion?

The explosion.

V REICH

In the scenario "The Lost World", can a medic attempt to heal a miniature devoured by a plant?

No, it is digested and well dissolved.

IRRADIATED

Can a nuclear Cardinal carry a mace, pistol and holy grenades?

No, it would exceed the limit of a maximum of two weapons that can be carried.

MERCENARIES

Crazy Mel's 'At the wrong time' rule says that his shotgun malfunctions if he rolls an even on the Accuracy roll, but what if Aiming automatically hits and he doesn't have to make that roll?

In that case, you would still have to roll the d10 simply to check whether you get an odd or even result.

What happens to Captain Hammerica's Hate Red Helmet rule when he fights with the V Reich thanks to his Captain Kraken rule?

In the case of a game between two V Reich gangs, one with Red Helmet and the other with Captain Kraken, the same rule applies as with the “repeated” mercenaries. One of them is not who he says he is and has to be unmasked with a sledgehammer, so they can use their Hate rule without restriction.

Is Sajarratas, the mercenary, virtually immortal?

Virtualmente, pero hay circunstancias en las que queda Abatido y no se puede levantar.

Que su Dureza acabe en 0 permanentemente, ya sea por la Contaminación, la Radición u otra circunstancia. Entonces, cuando se vaya a levantar es Abatido automáticamente de nuevo.
Que se lo coma una planta del escenario Mundo vegano, o cualquier otro evento que haga sacar la miniatura de la mesa sin dejar marcador de miniatura Abatida.
Que se lo coma un Glotón o los miembros de los Devoradores que puedan realizar esa misma Acción.

En resumen, no es inmortal, pero las circunstancias que lo eliminan son restringidas.

PERSONALITIES

Can personalities acquire generic gang equipment such as Protection from Pollution or benefit from the rules of the gang?

Yes, unlike a Mercenary, a Personality is very much part of the gang and can take advantage of these things (if the rules of the Faction/Sub-Faction allow it).

SCENARIOS

Lost World" scenario: If a plant devours my last miniature in the last turn of the scenario, do I lose the game?

Yes, as long as the other player does not do the same and also ends up without miniatures, in which case there will be a draw.

Rise of the Machines" scenario : Would a Mutard with the Safe Legs mutation ignore rough terrain penalties when transporting a jerry can of petrol?

Yes. Safe Legs allows you to ignore the penalties of Rough Terrain or Very Rough Terrain in any situation. Good for him.

CAMPAIGN

Can the Pagafantas skill also be used to avoid a shot with Postas?

No, the posts do not distinguish friend from foe, so they don’t care how marginal the miniature is.
