Hi Jeff, No this is my own rules. (Tho on page 3 of AM, it say that a little girl can’t engage a knight so my rules build off that logic. Why doesn’t she engage the knight? because if he gave her a free attack, she couldn’t hurt him, therefore no engagement.)
But anyways, I think that this discussion is over anyways.
Warm regards, Rick.
Rick, I understand your ruling and the reason for it, but it's not what TFT says about it, so my question stands; are we talking about your rules or TFT here? Because if it's your rules, I'm totally unqualified to comment on them and will drop out of this discussion, but if it's TFT, then I can read those rules and speak from a common base.
Hi Jeff, We have gone off on a tangent. A problem with a 19 hex dragon is that only 7 people are needed to engage it, so the dragon can easily be locked in place. I pointed out that with my rules, the dragon can say, “that little weeny guy does not engage me”, which makes them more mobile, and dangerous.
Warm regards, Rick
Are we talking about your rules or TFT, here? I thought the monster being proposed was for TFT...
I mean that if the dragon is engaged (by say 3 people), my rules allow the dragon to say, “nope, this guy is not dangerous enough to engage me. Prove me wrong.”
Rick
If you read the rules, you'll note that even if the Dragon is not engaged, the little guy with the rapier is.
True, but it can shove people back while turning. (At the end of movement.) That said, I allow dragons to say, “That little guy with the rapier does not engage me,” and ignore them. At the cost of giving the little guy with a rapier a free attack in movement.
Rick
True, but it's very HARD to engage a dragon!

Actually, the rules don't say
anything of the kind. It says, and I quote; "A giant's facing

dragon's facing may only be changed by moving the dragon; he is the wrong
shape to spin in place. "
Oh wow... I wonder where I got that idea about rotating around the head
hex...
Hmm, as written, it seems rather hard for a 7-hex dragon to change
facing, especially if they get engaged... they can shift but no part of
them can move more than one hex.
