Forexample, the Flip for Initiative Step of the Turnalready handles more than two players. However,when a Talent or Spell requires a player target/selectthe opposing player/Crew, it is one opposing player/Crew, not every opposing player/Crew.A note on multiple Crews and simultaneouseffects: If multiple Crews’ models are affected bya simultaneous effect such as a blast or Pulse anyreactions to the simultaneous effect such as resolvingTriggers or the Slow to Die response are resolvedstarting with the acting player’s models and thenin activation order with each player resolving all ofhis or her models’ reactions before moving on. Theonly exceptions to this are responses which occur“immediately,” such as Lord Chompy Bits’ OneMaster Ability. Those responses resolve first, thenany remaining responses are resolved in activationorder.Well, what are you waiting for? Grab a few friendsand get a multiplayer Encounter going right now!38
