Carl Billen <billenc_at_...> came forth and spoke thusly:
>a) Does an Initiative counter have to be drawn to determine initiative for
>War Engines even when no WE are used ?
Yes, because it affects the odds in the Assault phase.
>b) Picture the following : Orky Det. A with Shooty Boyz are put on
>Overwatch, while Orky Det. B with Battlewagons are put on March (75cm move).
>The Battlewagons pick the Shooties up (near the beginning of their move),
>move as far behind the lines as thay can go, and drop the Shooties off,
>which can still fire with Overwatch. Is this allowed ?
Yes, but some people see it as 'naughty'. Myself included.
>c) Does a Battlewagon which picks up an Ork for a ride lose 5cm of its move
Not sure.
>d) Same situation as b), but Det. A are Blood Axes Kommandoes on Assault
>orders. Is the total distance covered (assuming the battlewagons start next
>to their passengers) : 3 x 25 = 75 cm during the movement phase (no movement
>for the Kommandoes allowed) + 30 cm (infiltrating move) + 2 x 10 cm = 20 cm
>(double move when assaulting in CC) = a total of 125cm ?
Same answer as b).
>e) Infantry are allowed to move up to double their move during the assault
>phase to get into CC (p.21). But Boarboyz & Eldar Jetbikes, which are
>vehicles/cavalry, are not infantry and are therefore not allowed to move at
>double speed. Right ?
If they are in the summary as Vehicles, they cannot. If they are in the
list as infantry, they can. This is a big advantage to Tyranids, to whom
many things are Infantry.
>f) 4 Basilisk with 4 BMs can fire at an enemy with a barrage which covers 3
>models. This results in placing 1 BM for firing 12 FP at the target, but
>actually doing no damage as the 4 BMs cancel out the 4 SHWs. The same goes
>for 4 Bombards, except that they do no damage but place 3 BM for the 24 FP
>that could have been inflicted. Is this correct ?
No. 1 BM cancels out one SHW, i.e. 1 barrage. Therefore, for every BM on
a target, you lose one barrage / heavy barrage.
