So if a vehicle doesn't move it has it's WS reduced to 0. How does this actually work? Is it an auto hit because it has no profile? Or is zero the profile and it is just a lower score and therefor a 3+? In further confused because it is normally WS1 which is reduced to 0 if it hasn't moved and this would appear to make no difference based on the mechanics of the to hit table?

A target with WS 0 is hit automatically in close combat. I don't have my rulebook with me but it's in there somewhere.

Edit: possibly in the 'Characteristics' section near the start of the book.

Cool. I shall look further, thanks. Good to know. And rotating doesn't count as moving, does it? Cool!

Rotating may be done as part of movement, and the vehicle must be free to move in order to do so. But no, rotating in and of itself does not count as having moved.

If an enemy is anywhere near enough to assault my tanks, I will move them (even if it is only a fraction of an inch) to to avoid having the WS 0.

Although the point is about what WS 0 means...

Also: Pg 3, BRB: "A model with weapon skill "0" is incapacitated; they are hit automatically in close combat".
