Trading Overseas Question

I believe that was the new starter, after they re-released the set with a consistent (and larger) vehicle scale.  There has since been several releases for the various theaters, and WotC relased new revised unit stats on PDF as well.

Mot

1.  No cover for a head shot.  (And even if they did, all a cover oll does is reduce damaged/destroyed to a disrupt…and a disrupt is the effect that a headshot has anyways.

2.  All commanders abilities can effect themselves (in rules parlense, a unit is considered adjacent to itself).

3.  Yes, see pt 2.  This makes him a kick-ass fighter as long as he’s ot disrupted!

I’m going to stick by the explaination that a fixed weapon on a vehicle can only fire at units that could in fact fire back and hit its front armour. ie 180 degrees.

Well, as long as you know the rules it really only matters that your opponent agrees with you.  I take liberties with the rules all the time.  I used to deploy in the first two with the old maps, because I like the “movement to fire” part of the game.

@Audacity:

The scenario.  An infantry soldier is in a town hex and a vehicle crosses the open ground and enters the same hex.  The soldier is entitled to defensive fire.

The rule states the defensive fire effects (ie which hex it occurs)  is determined by the defender.  In this case that means the defender says if the effect take place in the open ground hex or if it happens in the town hex.

Question.  If the defender awaits until the vehicle has entered the town hex, can he use his abilities to attack vehicles in his own hex with the far superior dice rolls or is Defensive fire only about direct fire

Yes. You get to chose where the defencive-fire occurs, and if you have any special abilities such as flamethrower or close assault you can use them. Only a few abilities are worded such that they can’t be used for defencive-fire (eg the Goliath’s ). So if your unit is, for example, simply a regular infantry it will probably be best to make the defencive-fire attack in the same hex where it can use its close assault.

@pinkrasta:

finaly me and my freinds can stop arguing thanks  :-D

No problem.

I’ve found that in general it helps that, when considering the AAM rules, you follow them by what they say and not what they mean. Real-World logic doesn’t always apply; though often this is just for playability.

thank you or clearing that out for me
