C. Figures in HTH have very little in the way of interesting options, either attack with a cruddy weapon or struggle to disengage
Hi Rob,
We only flip over the counters if someone is dead or unconscious.

I've added talents that make it a lot harder for someone to get you in HTH, so if people manage it, it feels like either they deserve it, or the tank should have TAKEN those talents. It is not a random event that can't be defended against.

I can certainly feel your frustration with it now, however.

Warm regards, Rick.
