Ok so if you drop a drop pod between between the squad on the right and the buildings, and he comes out and shoots, but the dread can't assault on the taus player movement can he walk past the dread to hit rear armour?

Not if there's not enough room for the Tau to move between the edge of the world and the Dreadnought. The base has to fit, and then there needs to be another 1" between the moving squad and the Dreadnought, so you'd need 45 mm.

As above.

You need to be able to stay more than 1" away from the dreadnought, AND not go off the edge of the table

what about the drop pod do you need to have the same 1" from it as well.

Yes, the only time you are allowed to move within 1" of an enemy unit is during the assault phase, and even then there are restrictions.

Thanks for the help clears it up for next game.

You have to be pretty gutzy to DS that close to the tables edge

Dread has the inertial guidance system so its hard to fall off the table at least I think we are playing it right.

Pods can still mishap by going off the table. The guidance system saves you from impassable terrain mishaps (which includes friendly/enemy models).

Or during a tank shock/ram.

Crap.
I thought this was going to be toilet humour of the first water.

As rigeld2 mentioned, you are playing that wrong. The Drop Pod prevents it from falling on another model or impassible terrain. However, it can still scatter into dangerous terrain, difficult terrain, or off the table.

cool thanks for the help. This will make our gaming a lot better we are both trying to relearn the rules so every bit helps thanks.
