Two questions:

1)
Can EACH surviving member of a Treshold team pick a new skill? We always assumed that you earn ONE skill per won game, to give to one member of the team?

2) Nomination/Activation

We have played it this way:
a) Nominate Character with Command.
b) Character nominates agent 1 and agent 2
c) Character is activated and spends his 2 actions
d) Agent 1 or 2 is activated and spends his 2 actions
e) Remaining agent is activated and spends his 2 actions

Havde we got it wrong?

Only one skill is awarded for the win, and must be assigned to a model that was not removed from the table.

Re-reading the rules on nomination and activation, I realize there's a lot of room left for interpretation.  Read to the letter, it suggests that nominating a model immediately activates it, but this actually isn't the case.  There's no requirement for a model with Command (or Lieutenant) to activate prior to other nominated models.  For the second edition, perhaps we should consider adding a 'nomination phase' prior to model activations to create a clear separation.

1) Don't have the rulebook here, but AFAIK each model still on the table gets to pick one skill. So yeah, that's up to three skill points for Threshold, but the base points also increase by 3 points (so Threshold Base Points go from 5+2+2 to 6+3+3=12 points). So four more skills and one member has to go!

**Edit**
Just saw LidlessEye's comment. Okay, that's something we obviously is wrong. I'll edit my post. Cheers for the input :).

2) Hmmmm, Command reads as follows: "When nominated, a model with Command may also nominate two additional friendly models within 10. Note that a model may only use this ability when starting the turn in the Normal state". (from the demopack). These rules don't imply the model with Command has to go first.
Me and my buddies don't pay real attention whether the Character goes first or not. Works well IMO.

OK. So you can actually let the commanding character make others 'soften up' an enemy, and then let him go in for the kill. Makes sense.

Ah, so we keep the same Threshold characters and let other people play them for each new game? I like the idea  :D

Exactly! So sides change after each game. This way people can play both sides and watch and everybody wants Threshold to thrive for both experiences.

Me and my two buddies do this a lot. Each player plays the Threshold side, then the Lurker side and then watches the third match. The fourth match you're Threshold again, etc. It makes it a very nice group experience.

Ok - so - do LAFers want to see another game?

 If so - I will accept nominations as of... now  lol

 First in gets to choose which side they play.  We will use the same Threshold Agents as per this game, with one of the characters able to be given a skill of who ever plays them choice.

 Lurker players - will be briefed as to how many BP they have to play with. If you have photos of your lurkers, we can use them, or we can use the ones up on offer in the original PBF post made.

 The next map will be bigger, and have a lot more scenery/cover.

Really enjoy reading this thread. Hopefully we will see more 'online' games. Keep up the good work Agents.  8)
