OK I’ve got two questions for this Thread.

1. Does the Catacomb Command Barge have to move totally over the whole unit / vehicle ? I’ve seen some players on the internet just move over a single model in the unit and or a "corner" of a Tank and they call that "moving over”

2. This is three special attacks !!! so does this mean you only get to roll 1 dice for each attack? or do I use the lords Assualt 3 number? ( i roll 3 d6 for each attack )

Keep in mind I did call Games Workshop when the codex first came out and asked this question but I’m starting to think the tech support guy didn't really know. I’ve also had to correct the tech support persons on Big Rule Book questions before. Plus some old cron codex question (example necrons Old codex I asked the guy if a monolith could move " flat out "12" inch and he said yes, and that was an incorrect statement. So that being said I understand they are human too and can make mistakes. I would just like to know how everyone is playing this.

Rolling 1 d6 for each attack has kept me from taking this as a command barge, but if I’m rolling 3 d6 for each attack, I will probably consider trying this out. We all know it’s about throwing more dice at your opponent and making them roll for “saves”

if this has been answered before please post the link, and any help in this would be great !!!

1) that is perfectly fine - you have still moved 'over", and there is no requirement to move entirely over

2) You make 3 close combat atttacks, entirely ignoring the attack stat on your lord

Calling gw is a waste of time. Half the people will say "A" half will say "B" and half will say "C".

You roll each attack one at a time.

So if you drive over a Rhino, you roll 1D6, see if you hit (3+ or 4+), then roll to pen on the rear armour. Then repeat 2 more times.

If you roll over a unit of 10 marines with a powerfist seargent, you roll 1D6, if you roll a '6' you can allocate your hit to the powerfist sergeant. If you fail to wound him (by rolling a '1'), but you roll another '6' to hit, you can try again.

Remember to roll them one at a time, it's for your benefit :-)

hmmm never thought of it like that Lore.. that almost seems worth trying. my first thought is throw lots of dice at my opponent, but i can see where the 6's to hit and being able to allocate could come in handy.

Precedent is to make all attacks at the same time.

Wrong, as explicitly stated in the rules for the CCB Sweep Attack.

You *entirely* resolve each attack separately

I'm so tempted to model a lord hanging out the side of a barge holding a powerbat ala mailbox tag. lol.
