Evilmerlin Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Might not be a good tactic but still good. 10 shots at BS1 and then counter-attacking? I'll take it. Sure probably only get one or two hits but it's better than nothing and that's something that we didn't get before.

Been awhile since I've noticed that name :) There is a general psychic power(I think Divination) which will allow you to shoot at normal BS <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254657-6ed-overwatch-and-counter-attack/page/3/#findComment-3096848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilmerlin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've stopped playing 40K for a while though I still keep up with the game every now and then. 6th Ed might make me play it again if I can find where I last stashed my Wolves. The new psychic powers are a guaranteed pick though. If you did get it, that unit of Grey Hunters can just sit on an objective all day long taunting people to come assault them off it.

chezzie Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 To clarify, There's nothing in the rule for counter attack to state that it's incompatible with overwatch. Acute senses now gives us something to do with outflanking, nothing to do with night fighting - I'm hoping that's FAQed, since we have 1 unit that can outflank (+ maybe 1 more with the general's power thing?) David EDIT: Looking at the Foreboding Pyschic power (the one that gives you normal BS for Overwatch not afaict snap shooting in general) also gives you counter attack but states 'Have the counter-attack special rule and fire Overwatch on their full BS' So that confirms it stacks I think :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254657-6ed-overwatch-and-counter-attack/page/3/#findComment-3097613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
