Ranged Shots

Post by Dungeon_god »

I had read somewhere (I believe it was a post from Adrael) that all ranks could shoot at large targets-Is this true? If so, where is it in the rule book? I have not been able to find it!

Thanks! :)
Well, time WOULD be nice...
And, Storm of Chaos is here. Are you ready?

Warhammer Chronicles 2003 Page 132, Q&A, first column, second question in the SHOOTING section.

Q. Can models behind the first rank see a large target and shoot at them?

A. Yes they can.

There is still a grey area here though. If a dragon stands in front of a unit of archers ranked 5 across the front by 4 deep do they all shoot?

If you apply the Chronicles rule then yes, but, talking to Gav @ Gamesday he said only the front two.

Another example of GW not completely addressing rules issues methinks :lol:

So beware guys 'coz you might meet someone who queries this, but if it's in writing then it must be right...........? ;)

The grey area become LOS if you assume normal 90 degree arc no grey area only Black and White (up the magpies)

i think that they have to draw a line somewhere...else there shoudl also be rules for the smaller targets, and some more specified distance-rules. i think that it just would make the rules more complicted...hope u all got the point of this post... :oops:

Hmm, still waiting on the Chronicles here-hopefully will be able to get them in about a week or so.
