Logos Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I recently played a match with Dawn of War deployment rules, and I ran into a problem with my Land Raiders. Since they are a heavy support choice they must enter the battlefield from the board edge; however, I discovered that I could not fit the entire hull onto the board without moving more than 6" (and thus leaving them unable to fire that turn). At 6" in only the last 1/2" of the land raider is hanging off the board. My question is: does the entire hull of the vehicle have to be within the boundaries of the board to count as being in play?

SeattleDV8 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Saddly the only RAW way to bring them on is move their max (6" I would assume) and rotate them 90 degrees. silly I know ,but the only way under RAW. I would point out that Apedticon allows the vehicle to hang over the board edge, house rule to be sure but a nice way to deal with it.

Logos Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yeah, I suppose I could rotate them 90 degrees, but that would make shooting difficult (and the whole point is to move them no more than 6" so they can still shoot). I should also mention that I'm a Dark Angels player, so my machine spirit doesn't allow me to fire an extra shot if my land raiders move more than 6". Anyway, I usually just play friendly matches with the same group of guys, so I doubt anyone will have serious issues about 1/2" of the hull hanging over the board edge. I'll have to keep the official rules in mind if I ever take this army down to the local GW to play in a tournament.
