Glad this thread is still going because I have a few questions I did not want to make a whole new thread about:

The D3 flamer snap fire, is that D3 placements of the template or simply hits?

Concussion, is this the model that is wounded or the entire unit?

And in reguards to focus fire/cover, does the ENTIRE unit receive a cover save if 25% is unseen? Does this mean that a model in the unit not in cover will still receive the 5+ cover save because he is part of the unit?

Thanks guys

Do tau marker lights fire as snap shots against things like fliers or fast skimmers??

For template defensive fire, you roll for d3 wounds
The wounds are done to the unit, resolving saves just like any other attack
Cover is based on each individual model, so models out of cover would not get any save

Marklights snap fire at zooming flyers, and fire normally at hovering flyers or fast skimmers

Wow, I typed that wrong. What I meant to ask was: Concussion, when the wound is taken by the model is the entire unit brought down to I1 or is it simply the model?

The only real changes are that you can run instead of shot and that miss hap doesn't activate when you hit normal terrain features.

Markerlights fire as snapshots BUT using a Markerlight counter to shoot a Seeker missile at a flyer still uses BS5! (its in the FAQ)

I'm confused with the Allies and building attachments. Do they count towards your points cost or do you get another set points for getting them?
cheers

They go against your normal point total. Allies have their own force org chart that is entirely separate from the main detachments force org. Buildings are bouch under a new FOC slot called Fortifications. Fortifications are 0-1 instead of the standard 0-3.

Thanks guys

It's d3 hits per flamer, not d3 wounds.
