37cee Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Ok. After reading the rules several times again still i don't really know some things that, as far as i understood the text in the rulebook, are not described The example given is a bit to easy for me, see pages regarding wounds and comples units in the rulebook (don't know if the pages in all languages are the same but its p. 24-25 in mine) When i distributed one wound to every unit, do i have to keep the order or can i assign the wounds in any order i want (until all units have the same number of wounds)? I assume i have to assign all shots/hits of one weapon type before i switch to the next type (correct me if i am wrong) for example a squad with 5 men: 1 Sgt 1 (S),1 heavy weapon(H), 3 Marines (M), take 4 wounds with a allowing a save (+) and 2 that do not (-, for the same weapon type though): I start with the normal wounds now... M + M + M + H + S The Sgt has not wound taken yet so he would have to take the first unsaveable... M + M + M + H + S - now do i have to assign the wound to a marine or can i start in any order, so i could assign it to the Sgt who is doomed anyway? M + M + M + H + S - - would this be valid or would the one that took the first wound ? Second part... same distribution Again i am not sure about this one, the rulebook seems to split the unit up into "mini" units - those seem to me like the whole unit acted in the 5th edition. so... (ill use the same example as above; but in this case the unsaveables come form two different weapon types - to avoid the question above, if it is not possible...) 3 Marines, 1 Heavy, 1 Sgt the shots are distributed for the first wound: 3 Marines ++- / Sgt + / H + (i grouped them on purpose to symbolyze that i see them as a group each) the 2. unsaveable is again distributed to the normal marines... 3 Marines ++-- / Sgt + / H + so 2 Marines are taken out without any save and the remaining one has to take 2 savings is that right... even if i would distribute in the same way i did about assinging the unsaveable wound to one marine?

You may give the second unsaved wound to the sgt. once all models have 1 wound, the remaining wounds can be distributed however you want until each model has 2 wounds alloted, and on and on until all wounds are allotted to models. There is no required sequence to this allotment at all. Second part... same distribution Again i am not sure about this one, the rulebook seems to split the unit up into "mini" units - those seem to me like the whole unit acted in the 5th edition. so... (ill use the same example as above; but in this case the unsaveables come form two different weapon types - to avoid the question above, if it is not possible...) 3 Marines, 1 Heavy, 1 Sgt the shots are distributed for the first wound: 3 Marines ++- / Sgt + / H + (i grouped them on purpose to symbolyze that i see them as a group each) the 2. unsaveable is again distributed to the normal marines... 3 Marines ++-- / Sgt + / H + so 2 Marines are taken out without any save and the remaining one has to take 2 savings is that right... even if i would distribute in the same way i did about assinging the unsaveable wound to one marine? mini units, as in models that are the same in gaming terms - 3 bolter marines are effectively identical, and take saves as a group. you seem to have this correct, too. remember, if a 3 model "mini-unit" (not a correct phrase but I like it) was allotted 3 unsaveable wounds, they would all die, you cannot stack these as 2 to one model, and one to the other, even if each had 2+ wounds allotted.

37cee Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 "mini-unit" (not a correct phrase but I like it) I had no idea how to call them - unsing the german rulebook i have no idea what the used in the english versions, i am glad enough that the page numbers seem to be the same, that at least some less confusion. :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142730-wounds-in-5th-edition/#findComment-1651904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
