Do power weapons, power fists, ect. affect just one attack of the equipped model (IE a Marine with three attacks and a power weapon gets two normal attacks and one power weapon attack) or are all attacks affected (IE the same Marine has three power weapon attacks and zero normal attacks {Assuming the controlling player chooses to use the power weapon- that I managed to see in the Special Close Combat Attacks section })?

My friends and I have been working off of my interpretation of the rules for quite some time now, which of course I learned myself from reading the manual.

All attacks unless noted otherwise.

Thank you very much.

Now I must explain my incompetance to my gaming buddies, for we have been playing the opposite...

See page 46, special close combat attacks.

All your attacks gain the ability of your special close combat attack, but you may only use one per round of combat (if you have more than one).
