Tank walls

[Vexicus]

Hail Brothers,

 

If I was to place a squad behind a tank and move the tank up with the squad blocking my enemies LoS to the squad, would my squad be abe to fire at the enemy or would the tank block my LoS too?

 

Thanks

Vex

5th edition works around true line of sight, generally speaking if an eneny cant see you, then you cant see them.. but all you need to see is an arm or leg and you can fire at them

That depends ....can the models i the Unit 'see' the target ... that is does the models have LOS from the 'eyes' of the model to the target unit they are firing at?

True line of sight is true line of sight, just remember if they can draw a line from their eyes to so much as a toe or finger of one of your models, they may shoot the unit (you will get a cover save of course though), and vice versa.

In a similar query where do you draw the line for something like an Infantry wall. Presumably with some careful placement you could block off a squad behind a few model thick infantry wall. BUT this is much harder to check through and determine. Is there a direct way to deal with this?

We use one of those laser pointers you tease the cat with. Just hold i by the head of your shooter and try to paint your target with it. If you see the light on the target you can shoot at it.

In my experience, this is the best way to prevent "Well I guess you're just blind!" arguments. They are cheap and effective.
