If a battlewagon with a deffrolla rams a dreadnought, what is the order that the actions take place? Does the dreadnought take d6 strength 10 hits before he chooses to death or glory?

If a death or glory attack is chosen, but does not stop the vehicle, does the second d6 get resolved against the dreadnoughts rear armor?

Also, if the dreadnought destroys the battlewagon on the death or glory move, does the second deffrolla attack get resolved?

When rammed you either brace yourself (front armour hit) or death or glory (if failed rear armour hit). You cannot DOG if rammed from behind (oo-er..)

If you brace you take the ram and 1d6 S 10 rolla hits.

If you DOG you make your attack before the ram is resolved. The deffrolla hits do happen, however, and deal 2d6 S 10 Hits due to the fact that you elected to make a death or glory attack.

If you succeed I would say that they happen to your front armour (makes sense fluff and rulewise) but if you fail they get your rear armour.

The quote from the ork codex is:

'Any tankshock made by a Battlewagon with a Deffrolla caused D6 S 10 hits on the victim unit. If the unit elects to make a Death or Glory attack it takes a further D6 S 10 hits...'
