I'm stumped on this one as to whether you can re-roll the dice for a charge sequentially, for a unit with fleet, or not.

For example, say you roll a 1 and a 4 when you are trying to assault 7 inches.

You re-roll just the 1, and get a 2, for a total of 6 inches, still falling short, can you then re-roll the 4?

It seems to me like there's no rule explicitly stopping it, you aren't re-rolling a die that has already been re-rolled, and fleet doesn't say you have to do the re-rolls together, but I'm just curious what other people think of it.

If you are required to reroll multiple dice (like an LD test or scatter) they must be rolled together.

Can i ask a very good question.... Why is your pic Matt Ward?

Why not.

Yes, but to clarify you must choose how many you re-roll and re-roll them. You can't go back and decide to re-roll another one later.

Where are these rules located, all I can find to that effect is the statement in the blast weapon rules mandating you re-roll distance and scatter direction together, not one or the other.

Just because it doesn't say you can't doesn't necessarily mean you can. I don't think you're going to get a lot of support here.

You are only allowed to re-roll dice once. As the dice for assualt are 3d6 you can only reroll a subset of those dice once. Rerolling one at a time would be 3 times 1D6, not a reroll of 3d6.

But it does say you can re-roll them, and doesn't say you have to re-roll them all at once, so why not, it doesn't say I can't is valid if you can show your permission, and I can Fleet says you are allowed to re-roll these dice.

the rule in question says specifically "no single dice can be re-rolled more than once" so your assertion that by rerolling a single dice out of a set you have completed all re-rolls allowed for that set isn't actually supported by the rules.

Pg 5 "Re-roll" that paragraph..

Note that is says .. pick up the "dice" (plural) that you wish to reroll, and roll it again. The second roll counts......

So once you roll the second time, nothing past that point can/ will be used.

GW regularly use dice to refer to the singular too, in fact, their use of "it" rather than "them" indicates that in this example they are using the term to refer to a singular dice and further on in the exact paragraph you are citing they very clearly use dice to refer to the singular ("no single dice can be...")

edit: also, it starts by talking about being allowed to "pick up and re-roll a dice." once again singular, the entire paragraph never seems to deal with dice as a plural.

Ok, accepting that, "the second roll counts". So you can reroll them one at at time if you want, but only the second die roll will count when you roll your dice.

Regardless of the plural the wording is still the same. "Pick up the dice that you wish to re-roll and roll it again. The second roll counts..." "...can re-roll one or more of the dice..." does not give you permission to re-roll each one it says you can do the re-roll step with one or more of the dice. "If you re-roll a single 2d6 or 3d6 roll, you must re-roll all of the dice and not just some of them, unless the rule granting the re-roll specifies otherwise." Also on page 5. The rule says you can choose to re-roll less than all of the dice rolled, but nowhere does it give you permission to do this step more than once.

Right that makes sense, that in choosing to re-roll a single dice, you have expended the entirety of what Fleet granted you.

Thanks, I was just looking for someone to provide adequate rules support for their claim that it didn't work.
