Hi, I was playing as Orks against my cousin's SM yesterday. We are both newbies and it was only our second proper game. I was giving him a real hammering and then his devastator squad stunned my two Killa Kans at the end of his turn 3. In the vehicle damage table it says "The vehicle may not move nor shoot until the end of it's next player turn" so I waited until the end of my next turn and then decided to fire rokkits at his devestator squad but he was adamant that I couldn't move or shoot until my next go. I explained that I had left it until I had moved all my other units and completed their actions and that this was my last action of my turn and that the vehicle damage table does not say that I miss a turn. We agreed to let me shoot but I said I would ask a more experienced player for clarification of the rule.

Could one of you veterans out there please confirm who is right? Thanks.

It basicly means that they are stuck for a turn. It sounds almost like you shot the guns in the assault phase. If you had been 'crew shaken' (or if you had armor plates) you could have moved, but not shot. As is though your kans were useless for a turn.

Sorry I wasn't very clear. The result was Crew - Stunned on both Kans and I did indeed shoot but during the shooting phase for the Kans but at the end of my turn after I had done all my other moves for all my units.

Welcome to Dakka! For future reference, rules questions belong in You Make the Call. This thread will be moved shortly.

In response to your question, I'm sorry, but you played it wrong.

Your Friend's Turn 1: He shoots your Kans, both are Crew Stunned.
Your Turn 1: Neither Kan can move or shoot at all this turn.

To explain it in a slightly different way.

his turn - stuns your cans.

Your movement phase - cans can't move
your shooting phase - cans can't shoot
end of your turn - they can move and shoot now but it's too late.

his turn - stuff

Your turn - cans are back to normal.

Thanks for the replies. This clears it up nicely and I know what to do for next time.

Since his one devastator squad shot your 2 kans, I take it that it is a vehicle squadron of 2 Killa Kans.

pg64 "...treat all immobilised results as destroyed (wrecked) and all stunned results as shaken."

This means that you would still be able to move your Kans, but would not be able to fire them at all until after your next turn.

Yes, any Shaken or Stunned Results your opponent inflicts on you last until the end of [b]your[b] turn.

So to clarify more:
Player A Turn 1: Shoots and Shakes your Kans
Player B Turn 1: Kans Cannot Shoot
Player A Turn 2: Shoots but does nothing to your Kans
Player B Turn 2: Kans are free to act as normal.

You can only shoot during your shooting phase.
