We had some issues tonight around this.

Scenario:

A SW Grey Hunter squad containing 9 marines, one with a PF, one with MotW + a Wolf Guard champ with melta bombs, charged a Chimera and a Leman Russ.
Can anyone clarify how hits and pens are allocated?
Step by step would be really useful and the why behind it

Thank you.

They aren't.

Models can only damage units that they direct their attacks at. Allocation never comes into play between different units. If you want to damage the Russ you have to attack the Russ. If you want to damage the Chimera you have to attack the Chimera. Work the results for each initiative step out from there.

IE if the WG and PF are engaged with the Russ and the Wulfen is engaged with both, the WG and PF must attack the Russ and the Wulfen can attack either or. Exactly the same as you would for multi-assaults with any other unit.

Hits are allocated to whichever vehicle the model is in contact with.

Models not in base contact can allocate to either vehicle, provided that they are within 2" of a model that is in contact with it.

TY Insaniak.

If the Cimera had moved 12 and the LR 6 hits are still allocated as above?

Yes. Like ANY assault you work out which models are hitting which units, and th attacks are determined from there.

So the fact you need a different to-hit doesnt make any difference; they are two units, work out who you are hitting on a unit by unit basis.

Gotcha . thanks peeps
