Hey, a couple questions that came up over the weekend. I don't have the brb handy:

1. Coherency for vehicles in a squadron is 4"?

2. Damage/Wound allocation. Let's say I have 2 speeders. I receive 2 hits in one round of firing from one unit, 1 pen and 1 glance. I assign the pen to one and the glance to the other. The damage for the pens destroys the 1st speeder. The damage for the glance immobilizes the 2nd speeder. Would they both be destroyed since when the 2nd speeder received the immobilisation, it was part of a squadron?

Thanks in advance.

Yes to both.

I agree, as the hits are from one unit and occur at the same time.

As stated, both are correct.

Firing is simultaneous, and as such they count as a squadron for the entire duration that firing action is resolved.

When they are fired at again after that, they are no longer a squadron.

Pretty much what I thought. Glad I thought asked because it happened twice later on that night.

Thanks,

Follow up question: The owner of the squadron choose which pens and glances go on which vehicles THEN you see what the results are OR you see what the result of the Pens and glances are and the owner decides which vehicles they go on?

Assign before rolling on the damage table

As TheAvengingKnee says.

You wait for the attacking player to get his/her full bucket of glances/pens. You then assign them as per shooting wounds to your squadron. You then roll all results for each squadron member individually.

Remember, Pens and Glances have no difference past how they influence the damage table, and as such have no restrictions on how they can be stacked in relation to each other.

If you have three squadron members, and you receive two pens, and 6 glances, you can apply them so that both pens go on one member, and all the glances all go on the other two.

Remember that you roll any saves AFTER you have applied the glances/pens to the squadron members, going through each member individually, but BEFORE you roll on the damage table.
