Quick, stupid question.
Can Spinning attack be played after a Back Away?

Yes and No. Under normal circumstances you may only play ranged attacks for the remainder of your turn after a Backaway. However, there are cards like Methos or Duncan- Superior Tactics, or other cards of similar nature that will allow you to ignore the text of the Backaway and then attack normally.  Headswillroll |

One definate thing to keep in mind is that Methos and Duncan are not the only one's to get away with this. There are other Situations, Edges, Attacks, and Weapons of Choice that allow you to attack normally after playing a Backway. Headswillroll |

Probably the best suggestion I could give as far as playing Spinning Attack would be to use either the Broad Bladed Spear or the Great Sword if you intend on using Backaways. Headswillroll |

Okay.
The question came up because of the wording on Spinning Attack. "If the last defense is a dodge and you may still attack."
Was wondering if, because Back Away says you can only play ranged attacks (but you are still able to attack), you'd be able to use Spinning attack.

You are correct in the fact that you can still attack, however, you still run into the text of the Backaway. So in that case the answer is no. The same applies to some of the Ducks when they state that your next attack cannot be an upper attack. In that example you can only play the ML or MR Spinning Attack since you cannot attack to the upper grid. Headswillroll |

The Broad Bladed Spear won't work. It only allows basic attacks after a back away. The Great Sword also won't work. It has attacks you can play after a Backaway, but none of them are Spinning Attack. Iman Fasil is another option, if you use his Fleche. |

You are correct, I was speaking from memory, and should have confirmed it first on the weapons of choice. It has been a while since I looked at either card. However if he is just looking to be able to attack after playing a Backaway then he could use either option but not with the Spinning Attack. Headswillroll |

Sorry about that one JDKimbro(referring to using the Broad Bladed Spear or Great Sword with the Spinning Attack). Normally, if I am not sure then I look it up. I guess I stuck my foot in my mouth on that one. Will try not to do that again, as I am not trying to mislead you. Headswillroll |

See, I'd assume that going online to find the information you need would be considered research. That's just me though.  |

You can twist and mutilate the meanings of my posts all you like for I do not care, I am beyond that now. The reference to research in my post had to do with actually looking at the cards, putting them together in different ways and building it into a deck and then practice running it until it is ready for a tournament. That is the research I was speaking of and thought that by the way the post was written that it was apparent. Alas, I am mistaken, so hopefully this clears up any misreading of the earlier post. I am a firm believer of figuring out strategies and deck designs by "hands on" methods, not printing off copies of everyone elses decks that they spent the time to make, then crediting yourself in front of your friends. That to me is petty and unimaginative. Hope this helps. Headswillroll |

Did I whizz on your cat or something?
Nobody has suggested he cut and paste decks. Nor has anyone posted any decks for him to cut and paste from. People have merely offered answers to his questions.
