Looking for some consensus. If my battlewagon with boarding plank and grabbin klaw pulls up to a dread, can the dread attack an embarked nob who is making attacks against it using the plank?

If I succesfully use the klaw against the dread, can I stop it from moving into assault?

If I am behind the dread, will the klaw prevent it from turning and roasting me with a multi-melta or some other nastiness?

this would be better in YMDC - ive reported it so it can be moved

1) No, as the dread is not in base to base with *anything* and therefore fails the first requirement to be able to attack. Nob is completely immune.

2) Yes, as the vehicle cannot move. Moving into assault is, oddly enough, moving

3) Pivoting does not count as movement, but IS movement, so I would say not.

nosferatu1001 has everything soundly correct and you should listen to him!

Nos has summarized it accurately. No assualt is happening. A model within the vehicle (in this case the Nob) is granted the ability to attack AS IF he had disembarked and assaulted, but is not actually doing so. The wargear allows the attacks to be made, but nothing else.
