I disagree, Gothmog's master of battle does not mean he copies every single action an enemy called, only the one(s) his controller wanted him to.Someone says, right I want sucha hero to call sucha heroic/epic action, and Gothmog's player then says, okay I'm going to use Gothmog's ability to copy sucha heroic/epic action for free. First player then says, right lets D6c off, you roll, second player rolls etc...
Please go back and read what I wrote again.
If both players wish to call actions at the beginning of a phase, roll off to determine which side goes first and then alternate heroes calling actions.
No player has to tell you what action they are calling until after the queue is determined, just that they are going to call one and with what heroes.
Agreed?
Your interpretation -Forcing a roll off after the queue has been determined or just to determine the queue if no other hero on gothmogs side calls an action-i.e. gothmog uses his special to force a roll off. Well If he wins HE MUST COPY WHATEVER THE HERO WAS GOING TO DO. Why? because when you force the roll off with his special rule you have already CHOSEN TO USE HIS SPECIAL RULE and duplicate the action. You used his special to duplicate an action, forcing a roll off. The controller made the choice and may not change this. His rule does say he MAY "call an identical action", well, he just duplicated it to force that roll off. Let me try and be clear, in your interpretation, gothmog uses his special to duplicate an action, which you believe causes a roll off. He now no longer has a choice, he must call the action even if he did not know what it was. I do not believe we are allowed to use part of a special rule.
My interpretation-Because the queue is determined before gothmog knows what actions are called he can not force a roll off to alter the queue. The queue is determined at a time when both players want to use might to call actions at the beginning of the phase. Even if you know what actions are being called, gothmog did not use might to get in the queue, so he must wait until a hero within 12 inches calls an action. In my interpretation gothmog may only use his special to insert his duplicated action after the action has taken place in the queue. There is no other mechanic in the game that I can think of that would allow gothmog to make a choice of whether to duplicate the action or not.
