Hey guys,

The Kareem result in ork ramshackle table (ork codex p41) states that the ork player chooses if he rolls a hit.
But what does he choose and what does that come down to?

Player rolls 6+3+3+hit (little arrow on hit points south)
Option 1: ork player moves trukk north (since it says he gets to choose) for 12 inch
Option 2: ork player does not move at all
Option 3: ork player moves south (in direction of tiny arrow on hit) for 12 inch.

Which of these are possible?

Thanks for reading
Kim

without looking at the codex I have always just choose the direction and it still moves the total distance

Option 1 is the correct one.
Option 2 is incorrect as the Trukk MUST move "3D6" as far as possible", so it moves in a straight line that many inches (or until it hits something).
Option 3 is also incorrect as he rolled a hit, so he can choose where to go (though he can choose to go in that direction if he really wants).

Just remember that if he rolls a Hit, he can choose to have it point directly at another squad (his own or one of yours) to reduce the distance it moves, since it stops when it hits another unit.

Thank you both for posting :-)
This makes me happy!

The reason we were in doubt about how to explain this rule, was the language thing. The Dutch often translate 'if' as 'whether'. Makes quite a difference. Especially for programmers like me (hehe).
