Thanks for any help. Monsters stomp bases regardless if the base is in a city or not. Mark destroyed bases with a Footprint marker. This is what the designer, B.Knight, told us at AvalonCon'98.

So conduct the combat as normal, no automatic win. Mark Subject: Re: MRA: Monster Challenge Q?

The rules (top of page 9) specifically state that monsters in Hollywood don't fight in monster battles. I believe that monsters in their lair also get hosed. This is one way to get rid of a tough monster before the monster challange begins.

The player that sent him there? The next strongest monster? We just randomly determined by die roll. Mark Subject: Re: MRA: Monster Challenge Q?

The rule on page 9 that Bruno alluded to also says that the first monster to reach a challenge site in that case becomes the challenger. (I see nothing in the rules about monsters in lairs, BTW--monsters off the board are another story.) -- Eric Amick Columbia, MD eamick@clark.net
