Saxxon the Dragoon Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 keep getting into clashes about whether vehicles can pop smoke or not when they are stunned. the rulebook states "...after completing its move, a vehicle with smoke launchers can trigger them (it doesnt matter how far it moved)" as stated in the small rulebook for 5th pg. 62. the main point of contention is that since the vehicle cant move or shoot, so thus it cant activate the launchers, but i had thought that smoke launchers could be launched regardless of the vehicle is stunned or not because it not considered a weapon, and i would think it pretty stupid not to be able to be able to hit a button to pop the launchers in the 40k universe.

HiveFleetEzekial Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes, you may. Not having the ability to do something does not prohibit you from doing something 'instead of..' whatever it was. Hormagaunts can't shoot, they have no guns, period. Anyone saying the tank can't pop smoke is, also, saying hormagaunts (and anything without a gun) can't 'Run!' either. Both things are done 'instead of shooting'. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169459-smoke-launchers-can-they/#findComment-2000381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat of vengence Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well, a stunned vehicle can't move or shoot, but you are not trying to do either. So smoke away, the only kind that is good for you!

gil galed Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 If it can't move or shoot it's still completing it's movement and shooting phases in that it isn't moving, so yes it can pop smoke Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169459-smoke-launchers-can-they/#findComment-2000541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I suggest reading the entire set of rules :(. "Note that a vehicle may still use smoke launchers even if its crew are shaken or stunned." BRB pg 62 (conveniently in the box labeled 'Smoke Launchers') /enddebate ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169459-smoke-launchers-can-they/#findComment-2000685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxxon the Dragoon Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 /enddebate .... Fairly comprehensively I'd say ^_^. well we don't have the BRB, only the SRB, so only have the small small little box that states what i posted above, not exactly the best description.

SeattleDV8 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The small rule book has the same layout (even page #) as the BRB. The BRB has fluff, background and missions in the back which the small one does not. All of the rule are in both books.
