POTMS and Splitting Fire

Recommended Posts

How do you guys play this?

 

In a recent game, I had to kill a GK BC, so I shot him up with some hurricane bolters and he lived, so I elected to use the MM to finish him, but my opponent said I had to choose a different target.

It's my understanding the POTMS allows you to choose to, it is by no means mandatory.

 

The benefit of it is that you get to shoot it like a different unit, pretty much.

 

Thoughts?

You should have declared all shooting from the unit before rolling any dice at all. You're not allowed to shoot some stuff at a target and then follow it up to finish things off if it doesn't go well.

 

All firing from a single unit is simultaneous - and that can potentially make a difference to wound allocation.

He's not correct in that you have to fire at a different target...however, you should've declared all fire at once. Technically your multimelta wouldn't fire at all because you chose not to fire with it when firing with the unit.
