Just thought of something...

Deffrolla rule states that when tankshocking, it cause "D6 S10 hits to enemy unit".

Say I ram an Eldar Waveserpent... and I rolled a 6... causing 6 S10 hits to the skimmer...

The opponent starts rolling for 3+ skimmer dodge...

With me so far?

Here's my question... does my opponent roll 1 skimmer dodge to avoid all 6 hits? or does my opponent need to roll 6 times try dodging each of the 6 hits?

On p71 of the BRB, describing the mechanic of the skimmer dodge... it isn't clear me where the "hits" are applied to this rule (unless I'm being daft now )

Did I miss a FAQ somewhere? Or is this another "grey area" that needs house rulings?

I would have to go with page 71, where it specifically states how it plays out.

As page 71 says

"On a 1 or 2 the collision proceeds as normal. On a 3+ the skimmer avoids the tank, neither vehicle suffers any damage, and the ramming tank stops in its tracks (literally!), it's crew confused and disappointed."

Though it might not at first seem clear, think about it for a second. You didn't avoid a hit by using the 3+ dodge, you avoided the entire ram which means no needing to dodge extra hits.

derp.. derp...

Gotcha. Now I see it. THANKS

Note that the deff rolla also says that the tank shock(ram) causes the damage, not the deff rolla or the battlewagon. It's basically additional damage to the ramming effect.
