deuce0083 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 So let me get this straight. I played a really good game with a buddy of mine last night, and I had the chance to assault him with my furioso. I took the chance, not even stopping to think that this monstrous piece of machinery would be effected by assaulting into the cover of a shrubbery. My friend then informed me that since my dreadnought was not equipped with frag grenades, I would be attacking at initiative 1. I still managed to come out on top of the conflict, I'm just inquiring as to the sense of this rule in this case. After checking the rulebook, the only thing I could find was the rule stating that walkers fight as infantry in close combat... An interesting yet irrelevant bit of information. Said furioso was equipped with a frag cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Theres a reason that C:SM Ironclads are given offensive grenades. They are treated like infantry on the assault.... sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty the Pyro Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 monsterous creatures also fight at I1 when going though terrain, and MC are by fluff tougher than walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Look at it this way - his models were all hiding in the long grass and your dread had to stop and kick a few piles of suspicious grass before he flushed them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordekiem Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 So let me get this straight.

After checking the rulebook, the only thing I could find was the rule stating that walkers fight as infantry in close combat... An interesting yet irrelevant bit of information. Said furioso was equipped with a frag cannon. Refer to pg 36 of the BGB. Any unit who has to make a difficult or dangerous terrain terrain check in order to assault gets I1. You ignore this if the unit being assaulted is already locked in CC or have gone to ground. And assault grenades also negate this penalty. Walkers make difficult terrain rolls when they assault so they would strike at I1. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
