had lots of differing answers to this one so thought i'd ask the best. unit saurus with spears 5x4 set up how many attacks to the front do they get. when being charged.

A. two attacks each front rank, one attack each second rank, one attack each third rank
or
B. two attacks each front rank, one attack each second rank, two attacks each third rank

i'm favouring answer A. but a GW manager said B. whose right

Mr. redshirt boss is on meds.
That means A.
For getting RAW support check out the fight in extra ranks USR on page 69.

thanks HoverBoy, i thought i was right what ever happened to GW staff that know the rules

Never met any.

He might have been thinking back to predatory fighters, 6th ed, which only specified that the second rank was restricted to 1 attack. Who knows thogh, GW staff members can have interesting views.....

We have reasonable staff knowledge, but thats mainly because we have a LOT of good gamers (40k, fantasy) around here and we're all friends...

Yeah 'A'....I wish 'B'....sniff.

No kidding. I'd use spears more.
