Just thought about something, not sure how it works out.

1. Some tanks are wider than they are long
2. Some tanks get deployed hugging the edge of the deployment zone
3. Eldritch Storm rotates vehicles
4. Isn't there a concievable situation where the direction storm rotates the vehicle would cause it to hang over the board? (Out of bounds)
5. Is the tank removed from the game in the same way that units that have at least one model off the board are removed? Or how else should it be played? (Ie. can't be rotated, ignore storm, shift tank forward, etc?)

The way that we play it is that all of the tank must be on the board during deployment and during movement.

We haven't played the Eldritch storm rules yet but if it was cast In this situation I'd call for the tank to overhang as there's nothing in the rules to say a tank can be destroyed by it.

I've always assumed that if hanging off the table can be in any way avoided that it should be.

But in the case of Eldricht storm, or back when skimmers used to "drift" when stunned, I've always ruled that if the center point of the vehicle leaves the play area, it's removed as per a broken squad who's run off the table. (full vps)

I'd agree. Following on from what I was saying, as long as all the vehicle starts on the table then theres no way that eldritch storm can take the centre over the edge.
