Kinda new to the Gremlins and I was wondering.....

If a Pig starts to stampede and does the Swine Dash.
The pig hits his target and moves beyond the target, can/does he has to turn around and charge back at the same target if this is the nearest target?

So if I take the Fast option I can Dash 3 times, and in the second turn turn around and dash the same way back, if the conditions ar met (nearest target and so on)....

Yep - But you must move the full 10" so realistically he probably won't hit the same one over and over if you charge into a group. I think the pigs have the 'bowled over' trigger which means you can knock/push an enemy. This will give you more control over which model is the closest.

Remember, If you fail a Terrifying duel you don't fall back, you swine dash! meaning large scary targets can easily become magnets for swine dash actions.

Kogan maybe you can answer this.

Stampeding means the closest Non Pig in LOS.

Turn 1, Sooey the Warpigs in base 2 base with a Mosquito and moving them up the field (no Stampeding).
Turn 2, the Warpigs are more than 8" away from a Gremlin so they start stampeding....

Do they charge the Mosquito when it is behind the Warpigs and the closest in range?
How do I aply the LOS?

LOS is 360 so yes they would charge the mossie if its the closest.

Eassiest way to avoid this is to activate the mossie before the pigs and move it its' 10" away from them. The pigs only stampede when they activate so you can wait until the mossies out the way and an enemy has moved in/bunched up.... Dangerous!
