Assault on multiple entities (miniatures) with result applied not on a miniature.

Hey, let me get straight to a specific instance of what I mean.

Let's say I am in Faceless Creeps Slumber, have 2 of them on the same space right next to me and I have the Tactics progress card out (Your Assault action effects all entities in range).

Now, the Faceless Creeps entity have as a result of successful Assault, that I should discard the current Turn Card (and some other things not important for this question.)

Should I discard only 1 Turn because they are the same Entity? Or 2 Turns because I discard 1 Turn for each miniature I hit by the Assault?

I ask with the specific example, but would love a more general ruling on all such actions that are written on the Entity/Slumber Tile, but the effect is not to the miniature/token.

With cards like Tactics, I believe the effect refers to the minis/tokens when it says "Entities". Otherwise, it doesn't really make sense if it's referring to 2 or more different Entity Encounter Tiles as they all have different interaction rules. Plus, I'm having trouble thinking of a case where there have been more than one Entity.

Therefore, the wording could probably be clearer to indicate that it's referring to Entity minis/tokens.

In terms of your specific example, I'll have to think about that some more.

There are a few dreams where there are multiple entities, although I don't think the secondary ones have interactions in those instances. And I do get the part to what it is referring to, that is clear to me.

I am just unsure about the interaction when assault result isn't a discard/relocate miniature/token and you do assault on more than 1 at the same time.

How we have been playing is that 2 miniatures get the assault = the result is done twice. That way it aligns in power with the case where you would be removing the miniature.

@Cubeo Yaw, my current thought is that if the Assault action was "Kill. Discard 1 Faceless Creep" and you had 2 Faceless Creeps in range, then you would discard both of them. However, since this Assault action was to discard a Turn card, it's a little odd to "affect all Entities in range" because this action doesn't seem to be affecting the Entity directly. Nevertheless, resolving the Assault action for each Entity in range makes mechanical sense (i.e., consistent with the 'discard case'). Maybe, the card should be reworded as "Resolve the (Assault) action for each Entity (token/mini) in range."

Great question!
