Okidus Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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?

Koremu Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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.

Seahawk Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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.

nurglez Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 aye, so, start of shooting with your LR. Nominate targets: my hurricane bolters are gonna shoot a target A, while my MM is shooting at target B. Then roll to hit, wound etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195172-potms-and-splitting-fire/#findComment-2323372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
