Hi Peter,

Boy was "I" WRONG on this one! Ouch!

Page 32, of the Titan Legions Rule book plainly and painfully (for me
anyway) explains Pinning, as it pertains to moving into Close Combat.

Because of pinning, models may not touch other enemy models as they move
into close combat unless either:

1) The attacking is not pinned by the enemy model or models in its path,
or

2) The attacking model is a skimmer, flyer, or troop stand equiped with
jump packs.

3) The model in the way is already pinned in close combat by another
model.


Observations:

1) This would mean that a formation of Rhinos would be able to move
right through a line of densly packed Orks, and unload thier Marines
into the middle of the Ork formation.

2) Skimmers and Flyers and Jumppack troops can't ever be pinned.
(But Snap Fire works well!)

3) Titans can only be pinned by Titans and Praetorians.



Is this correct, Peter?

Warprat ;)
