Brother_Marius Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Can a unit of, say, Tactical Space Marines shoot it's Missile Launcher first to wreck a Transport, and then unleash it's bolters on the passengers that were forced to disembark, all in 1 shooting phase?

Jarl of Wulfen Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 No, the entire unit has to shoot at the same target, which in this case is the transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Reference 1: Choose a Target - a unit's shooting is fired at a single enemy unit Reference 2: Select a Weapon - All shots from a unit are classed as shooting at the same time The transport and the unit inside are separate units so the tactical squad can't split it's fire between the two The boltguns actually shoot before the passengers disembark as they are fired at the same time as the missile launcher (even though you roll them separately) so those passengers aren't on the table to be targeted at the time those boltguns fire. The answer is therefore - No, you cannot wreck a transport then shoot at the disembarked passengers with the same unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyCrow Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Which is why it's always good to have a firesupport unit like Devastators with Missiles or Lascannons to pop open transports, so that your Tacticals can unload on them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 This question seems to crop up every edition. Perhaps we should have our own FAQ thing listing stuff like that? The things that asked all the time, every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If people don't read the rulebook, they ain't gunna read your FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've considered creating a sticky thread for a B&C OR FAQ, however I lack the time it'll require to do it justice at the moment. If such a thread is created, the OR forum rules will need to be amended to reinforce this, with threads created about anything included in said FAQ being directed to the FAQ then closed immediately (unless the thread is designed to bring a FAQ answer into question). I may discuss this in more detail with Eddie and GM when effort can be put into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may discuss this in more detail with Eddie and GM when effort can be put into it. As a suggestion in addition to this (lurker of this part of the forum but never post, apart from now I guess) you could also include a lot of the commonly asked rules, to prevent multiple threads of the same discussion and will not require such threads to be merged or closed.
