pathatrick Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 What are some good ways to mitigate overwatch? Also what would happen in the following scenario... Your unit moves up behind LOS blocking terrain to assault 1 visiable model in a unit. Does the whole unit overwatch or just the one with LOS?

Acebaur Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The first question is something for the Tactica forum so you should open a topic there for discussion. (Though off the top of my head charge with a dreadnought first or a popcorn unit to draw the fire.) For the second question, Overwatch is exactly like a normal shooting attack with regards to LoS, cover, etc. So if only 1 model can see your unit then I'd say yes only that one can shoot. However, that is a pretty specific scenario and not likely to happen in most charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 More importantly if onyl one model of the chargers can be seen by the unit to be charged at most one model can be removed during overwatch. So either use a tanky or sacrificial model to get the charge and hide the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Isn't there the issue of if only one charging model xan see anf it dies the charge is failed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaanesh-Devotee Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The only downside I can see to only offering one sacrificial model to Overwatch, is that your first model has to charge in a straight line if possible. This means that you will be charging through terrain (after all, you have put it between you and your target) so you'd better have grenades.
