Hopefully this is ok if I post this:

Roll 2d6 to determine S, after placing template, but before rolling the scatter dice. If a double (or an 11) is rolled ... consult the chart below.

Now some of the results for doubles on the S of the SAG are pretty clear that scatter doesn't come into play (1,1 and 5,5). The others it doesn't say. Do you still roll for scatter after the result is determined? Double 2's for example allow the opponent to pick the target of the template. Does the opponent then roll the scatter dice? A result of 11 says only the model under the hole is hit - if you roll for scatter there's a good chance that nothing will be under the hole, whereas since you are required to center it on a model when initially placing the template it seems to imply that you don't roll for scatter.

thoughts?

the normal process for shooting is still applied, meaning YES the scatter die is still rolled, however the target has changed.

oh and don't bring that crap when you play me next week.
B)

I would agree. Hit/scatter is rolled in all cases but isn't used in a couple of places (1,1 and 5,5 to be exact).
