The boarding plank allows 1 model to attack other vehicles within 2".

So my question, where do you measure the 2" from?
In effect does the BP have an "arc of fire"?

Cheers

You measure from the plank, wherever the plank may be modelled.

Thanks.

I don't exactly disagree, but notice how the Grabbin' Klaw specifies that it is within 2" of the Klaw and that Boarding Plank doesn't.

Indeed....

It says, "Allows any ork within 2" to make its close combat attacks..."

It reads like it is referring to the ork, not to the piece of wargear. And you judge distance to embarked units from the hull; open-topped trukk meaning that anywhere within 2" of the trukk is the threat radius for the embarked ork.


Gwar, you're a big one for RAW, so take that into consideration. A couple sentences above it, it refers specifically to the klaw and being with 2" of the klaw. Is there any reason why the very next entry would expressly not mention the piece of wargear needing to be within 2"?

Heh, I go and try and post RaP/RaI and I get stick for it I can't win!

But yeah, in fact, it seems that you would measure from anywhere along the hull

As long as you agree with whatever RAW/RAI I support at the moment, we'll get along just fine.
