Ball & Chain Questions

I was down on TV in a game recently and induced a ball & chain to provide so hitting power. I also played against a goblin ball & chain in a tournament. A few questions arise from its use:

1. Does a ball & chain have to use its full movement each time? I believe the answer to be yes.
2. If the ball & chain player hits one of his own team mates that is standing who chooses the block dice used yourself as the controlling player or your opponent?
3. If the ball & chain is unlucky enough to knock down one of his team mates does this cause a turnover?
4. If the ball & chain moves into a square where one of his team mates is prone and injures/KOs him does this cause a turnover? I don’t think so. And who rolls the armour and injury?

Thanks

1. Yes
2. You choose
3. Yes
4. [edit] no turnover, sorry! Remembered wrongly. Doesn't matter who rolls, really, but traditional for opponent.

Thank you
For point 4 as the team mate was already knocked down before the ball & chain moves into the square was the one reason that raised doubt for me. So stunned, KO’d or injured would result in a turnover? As long as you don’t break the armour then I guess you continue as normal?

Is it?
To B&C doesnt say it is counted as Knocked Down, just roll the armour and injury.

And being KO'd or injured is not on the list of Turnovers on page 7.

Huh, interesting, I've just revisited the list that I obviously wrote far too long ago, and it's not a turnover if you hit your own player. I played that wrong when I used goblins! Oops...

Maybe because the Bombardier skill says that players already on the ground are "treated as knocked down" (and would thus cause turnovers)?

Digging up the thread...

My Ball and Chain player VS an opposing player with Wrestle : I roll BothDown. My opponent uses Wrestle (my Ball and Chain is automatically out), but does it trigger a TurnOver ?

Seeing all previous posts makes me think it doesn't, but I just want to be sure.

Thank you

I'd say no turnover too. You get placed prone, then get an injury roll.
