Seahawk Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 When a zzap gun rolls a 10+ for its strength, it now gets hot on a 1, 2, or 3. The problem is that it specifically says it's a wound that's resolved against the crew instead of the gun, thus overriding the normal gets hot rules. How does it work when mounted on a battlewagon where there is no crew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raeven Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I can't remember. Are vehicles immune to gets hot or do they suffer a hull point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Vehicles aren't immune. In normal scenarios, a vehicle that has the Gets Hot! weapon that Gets Hot suffers a glancing hit. However, the zzap gun does not follow the normal Gets Hot! rules: "...and the weapon Gets Hot on any To Hit roll of 1, 2, or 3. If a Zzap gun Gets Hot, the wound is resolved against the crew." The gun itself never suffers from Gets Hot; the crew do. However, when mounted on a vehicle there is no crew, so does the Gets Hot just fizzle and nothing gets hurt? RAW seems to say so.

Raeven Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I would say it affects the tank. RAI if not precisely RAW. But I'll have to check my books to verify that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 It was suggested to me that maybe it only affects the wound allocation half of Gets Hot, and not the vehicle damage half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 That half of the rule really only affects the Mek Gunz, as only artillery have 'crew' per se. Also looks to me like it's always resolved against the crew, at any strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Makes sense, to prevent the gun itself blowing up. Instead, you get a Grot to die. I think it is Wound allocation specifically, otherwise Vehicle Damage is resolved as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 RAW, it seems the vehicle is unharmed. Strange, but there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
