| | Alright, again, I am just starting out with this. The rule book doesn't clearly define melee sneak attack. Would anyone be able to help me out with this? Thanks. | | | |

| I have a warband, who plays with the flanking and sneak attack:
AoH, LGD, G. underboss, G. Blackblade x2 and fillers. So my Question is about AoH S.A. : When AoH is adjacent to an enemy the enemy is consider flanking, so i can base all miniatures toi use sneak attack against it. The question is, The enemy is consider flanking, so my others pieces can use melee sneak atack against it, even if they arent crossing line with another piece in the other side? (I hope you understand my question), thanks!!!! | |

| Yes, you are correct. If Aspect of Hextor is adjacent to the enemy figure, then any of your minis may Sneak Attack the enemy figure, even if they aren't in the normal flanking position.
| |
Do or do not. There is no try. | |

| If Minis are places like this:
XXXXX
XAXXX
XXOXX
X1XBX
XXXXX
A and B are flanking O. Would a mini in position 1 get to sneak attack? | |

| | The mini in position '1' isn't flanking the mini in position 'O', so no Sneak Attack. | | | |

| Then why does Aspect of Hextor work for this?
Mini 'O' is being flanked just like Aspect does. Why shouldn't '1' get the sneak attack? | |

Mini 'O' is being flanked just like Aspect does. Why shouldn't '1' get the sneak attack? Figure '1' doesn't get the Sneak Attack because Figure '1' isn't flanking 'O'.
It works differently for Hextor, because that's what his Multiple Threat ability says.

| But if miniature "A" is Aspect of hextor, and miniature "B" is Large Green Dragon can miniature in position 1 gains +4 to attack and it can make the sneak attack?
(Because AoH make "O" be flanking) can figure "1" make sneak attack? | |

| Maurizio, that's a completely separate scenario from the question that was being asked.
If Hextor is basing an enemy, one of Hextor's friends can attack it from any position and get a flanking bonus and Sneak Attack damage, as applicable. A Lg Green Dragon can increase that flanking bonus, and a Goblin Underboss can increase the Sneak Attack damage.
There are other conditions that could apply as well. Check the Sneak Attack entry in the glossary. For example, a mini with Sneak Attack gets its bonus damage if it hits a stunned figure, whether that figure was flanked or not. | | | |
