Hello all.
Excuse me if this post already exist and if I'm in the wrong section.

As I said in my presentation, in France we have the habit to interpret all rules as it suits us.
Our problem is for the Bladevanes attack of reavers.
Our codex says when reavers use the turbo boosters, we draw a line and all unengaged,
non-vehicle units under the line suffer 1D3 hit S4. But some people thinks it's only an unit who is hit.

My question is : How you play this rule? All units are hit ant only an unit?

Thanks for your answers and excuse my english.

Your English is totally fine, no problems understanding your post.

As for your question: ALL units under the line suffer D3 S4 hits.

Edit: It appears this issue is more complicated than I thought... ignore my post (apart from the "You're English are goodly")

What you talking about Willis?


To the OP: The English Codex is VERY clear that only a single unit the line crosses over is affected.

In the French codex it is ALL units

In the English language codex it is 1 unit.

I bet Reavers are really popular in France....

Additionaly- the Dais is a Ravager with transport capacity in France, meaning it can move 12" and fire all 3 weapons.

Only one unit can be hit even if you live in France.

Q: How do you mark the start and end points of a unit of
unit of Reavers move when they are using their special
Bladevanes attack? (p29)
A: Should confusion arise, simply pick any model in the
unit as the start point and mark that spot. Then move the
unit and pick any model as the end point. One unengaged,
non-vehicle unit under the line between the two markers
can then be chosen to be the target of the attack.

So the French Language codex uses English language FAQs?

Interesting POV.

Unless they have separate French ones, it would seem so.

I would imagine not, as nothing states they should do so - and would you expect someone to use a FAQ for a different book written in a different language?

It's as taking a german FAQ to an english tournament.

I suppose one could look at it that way.

OTOH, one could as justly ask- you expect someone to suffer the inconvenience of lacking a FAQ, just because they speak a different language?

But you then end up with this situation:

Dual language person brings English FAQ. Opponent ONLY speaks French. what do you do now?

Unfortunately there isn't really such a thing as literal translation, hence why you end up with these sorts of scenarios.

I feel sorry for Gw in this instance, it would take an enormous amount of cooperation between the Codex author and the translator to get every foreign edition 100% mistake free.

In this instance, I would defer to the 'original' English meaning of the rule for clarification. In this case I think it is a clear mistranslation and should read 1 unit targeted only rather than all.

BlackWolf, read the french FAQ.

"Toute unité non-engagée au corps à corps et nʼétant pas un véhicule située entre les deux points déterminés peut être choisie pour être la cible de lʼattaque des reaver."

In english, it will probably be "Any non-engaged, non-vehicle unit on the way can be chosen to be the target of this attack."

So even in France, you choose one unit.
