Hey there, me and my friends are getting confused with when I shoot with my leman russ battle tank.
Before i roll the scatter dice with a large template, do i need to roll to hit? With a BS of 3 I would need to roll a 4 without even attempting to roll the scatter dice with some luck, or does the template hit automatically without rolling dice for a BS skill, hitting by just rolling the scatter dice?
I know it's a noobish question but I want to make sure we are playing it properly, many thanks

No, you subtract your BS from the total of the 2 dice in the scatter roll.

1) read the bloody rulebook. It has an index, come on
2) This is the tactics forum, not the rules question forum
3) read number 1) again.

I am not sure. How about going to a GW store and playing some AoBR? Then fire a frag missile at some orks and see how the rules work. Unfortunately I am busy today, maybe someone could do this for us and saves us the effort of going into town.

Moved to YMDC.

Page 30 of the rule book has the answer you are looking for.

Sorry for posting in wrong forum, but thanks for the replys guys, I thought it was this way, but my friend always said its not like that, was just double checking, many thanks
