Hi all, this came up in a game earlier today:

A LRBT shot at my squad of 2 piranhas & scored 2 hits.
Both penned and he got the results of "explodes" and "immobilized"

However he rolled the explodes result first and here's where the issue came up.

He said that since the one exploded before he rolled the immobilized result that it did not count as wrecked as per the squadron rules because it was no longer a squadron.

My argument was that since the shots had come from the same unit that they resolved at the same time & so the immobilized became a wreck, then both vehicles were destroyed.

Who was right?

You were right.

Models in a Squadon do not stop following the squadron rules when on their own until the NEXT time an enemy shoots at them (page 64), so the immobilised vehicle was still in a squadron, so becomes wrecked.

As always thanks for the speedy response.

I'll second this, having played speeders and WWs a lot.
