And an other question !
Concerning shooting this time
Face to face rolls !

BS 13 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 13 rolls a 3, 6,9, 14

BS 11 rolls a 10

BS 11 wins the face to face because his roll is higher. Right ?

I don't think i've seen such a situation (where a single rolls wins over numerous rolls) in the exemples

Correct. That's one of the things that equalizes a lot. a lowly rifle can kill an HMG with a lucky shot. You can see how the chances are slim but do able. It's better than just dying. Instead of a shot it could have been a Dodge as well.

Think of the face to face as like Black Jack. You want to roll high but not too high. Beat your opponent without busting.

Thanks =)

Now I should be able to try a proxy game sunday =)

Let us know how it went.

And don't forget the Crit chance, were your BS 13 guy rolls 3, 6, 12, 12. Then the other guy with BS 11 rolls 11 and wins the face-to-face, plus auto-wounds. The first time you don't know if you should laugh or cry. 5% sure seem to come up a lot more then you think.

Good luck with the game.

Yeah I was sure about the crit. so I made sure to exclude it from my example =)

Everything should go well. My only fear is what the board will look like haha
Half of it full of 40k sceneries and the other half full of books and random things heh

Thanks =)

A few examples for you:

Example 1:

BS 13 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 13 rolls a 3, 6,9, 14

BS 11 rolls a 10

BS 11 wins the face to face with a 10 and negates all opposing rolls


Example 2:

BS 13 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 13 rolls a 3, 6,9, 14

BS 11 rolls an 8

BS 13 wins the face to face ahowever the opposing 8 negates the 3 and 6. The 9 is the only hit.


Example 3:

BS 13 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 2 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 13 rolls a 3, 6,9, 14

BS 11 rolls a 10 and an 8

BS 11 wins the face to face a with a 10, however the opposing 9 beats the 8 and it is negated.


Example 4:

BS 11 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 11 rolls a 3, 6,9, 10

BS 11 rolls a 10

BS 13 wins the face to face with a 10 because even though they tied, his stat is higher


Example 5:

BS 11 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 11 rolls a 3, 6,9, 10

BS 11 rolls a 10

Both players tied because they tied and have the same BS, all shots are negated


Example 6:

BS 13 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 13 rolls a 12, 12, 12, 12

BS 11 rolls a 11

BS 11 wins the face to face with a crit of 11 and negates all the enemy shots


Example 7:

BS 13 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 13 rolls a 1, 1, 1, 13

BS 11 rolls a 11

BS 13 wins the face to face with the crit of the 13. Both players crit however the 13 was the higher stat.


Example 8:

BS 11 Burst 4 vs BS 11 ARO 1 (no modifiers on either side) :

BS 11 rolls a 11, 6,9, 14

BS 11 rolls a 11

Both players tie and all shots are negated


Remember the tied examples you use their stat after all modifications are calculated.

I believe Example 6 is incorrect. A crit still needs to beat the other rolls. So the 12, 12, 12, 12 would be four hits.

Also in Example 4 the BS shows 11 not 13.

http://infinitythegame.wikispot.org/Face_to_Face_Rolls

Both (shots) are successful but one player achieves a Critical. The player who obtains the Critical wins the Face to Face Roll, even if his enemy obtained a higher number.

Nope, 6 is correct. If you crit it negates all opposing shots that aren't a higher crit.

Almost doesn't seem fair that one loosing crit wins over all those winning shots. He could have needed a 3 and got a 3 and won against those shots.

yup, this is the joy of landing a 4.75% roll.

We have a joke in our area: "You need to roll a 2 to dodge with a Remote, but remember that is a 50% crit chance!"
