Naw,
You also check Range when it comes to Allocating Wounds, with any models Out of Range being safe from taking any of the Wounds generated to the Wound Pool. Now I am not at my book, I do most of my posting from work these days, but from memory we are told to treat the Squadron as if it was a Unit. Does this section not then go ahead to provide similar instructions to tell us to Allocate the Hits in a method similar to the way Wounds are allocated to a non-vehicle Unit?

It tells us to do them all individually, one at a time. If any vehicle ends up out of range of the remaining wounds, the pool is emptied. If any vehicle ends up out of melta range, the rule ceases to allow the extra d6 pen.

Every time we resolve a hit we look at what it is. We confirm that it's within range, within Line Of Sight, and apply any special rules. If you're outside of the range for melta to be applicable, it's not, end of.

I'm not sure how the rule actually goes here. I would play it by checking the range for every hit, but maybe that is incorrect.

How do I read the message above?

Out of Range rule from pg 16 does not really help.

All vehicles in the squadron were in range when to hit rolls were made. So all melta shots would then be gaining the 2d6. You would not check the range again at a later point.

As I said, I would not play it that way, probably

**barnowl**

My understanding, would be that as long as any a taret vehicle is in 2d6 melta rang of atleast one of the firing squad then all hits on that vehicle would be 2d6 melta.

Don't have book handy, and not even sure that method is supported by the rules.

How many Hull Points on the Ghost Ark?
I'm flicking through the net and stumbled on the restriction it might run a fowl of, on one of the preview pages at that...

4 hull points. I just addressed that 2 minutes ago in the other thread.

Yeah, I posted this in the wrong thread....
Thanks Happyjew
