Had a question asked of me by my brother this morning and I wasn't sure of the answer so I'm asking my fellow Dakkites.

If a battlewagon with a boarding plank is carrying Ghazzy drives up to another tank what armor does he hit? Does he strike at the armor that he is facing or at rear armor? It wouldn't make a difference against a land raider but against a chimera or grav tank it could. Also does He get a single attack or does he get all of his attacks against the tank? I thought he would get one strike at the tank but I wasn't positive. If he gets more than one attack would he also receive a +1 attack for charging if the battlewagon was moved into range for the attack to be made?

Thanks guys.

He attacks "as if he had charged"

What armour-face would he hit if he charged? There is your answer.

Well he makes a close combat attack so by the rules it's rear armour. But by common sense you would think facing. So I always did it off facing but I think it is rear armour cause it is a close combat attack.

He attacks "exactly as if he was charging."

*edit* I was wrong, the wording is "exactly if he was disembarked and charging."

So rear armor it is

Awesome. Thanks for the clarification. I dont have an Ork codex handy. My brother really appreciates it.
