Sweeet.

I believe it blocks line of sight to everything except a Titan.

My club treated this as yes. They scattered as per a barrage hitting the
template.

We said yes. Its just like most other explosions only bigger.

I don't know how Drop Pods are worked under NetEpic, but in SM/TL, you took
the markers for the pods and actually dropped them onto the table from a
certain height. Any model hit by a marker was hit by a pod.

I'd say no. A Drop Pod would probably smash a building (and perhaps smash
the pod itself). Buildings are impassable to vehicles and I believe that
pods are destroyed if they land in impassable terrain (at least they used
to be).

Of course.

Of course.

>Ball, as models do? Is a building considered a model?
Certainly they do. The ball is great for Urban Renewal. And I would
consider buildings models.

Personally, no. I think that these sorts of friendly casualties should be
strictly accidental.

I'd say the second bit.

The CAF gets used against any surviving enemy. And I would say that the
anti-personnel weapons would still take effect (with perhaps a +1 on the
survival roll for the defenders?).
