Ok. Riptide with HBC, Counter Defense System and Interceptor. According to the Codex: Tau Empire. On a successful roll of charging your Riptide's Nova Reactor you get 1 of the 4 profiles. The rules state, "you can choose one of the abilities listed below for the Riptide Shas'vre to have (until the start of its next movement phase)". Assuming you have the Heavy Burst Cannon and you charged it to have the 12 Shot, Rending, Gets Hot rule. You shoot. End your turn. Then during the your opponents movement phase something rolls in on reserves you fire (interceptor). Does the Heavy Burst Cannon still have the Nova Charge? Also, because Interceptor clearly says, "If this rule is used, the weapon cannot be fire in the next[b] turn." Meaning if someone were to charge the Riptide (or another unit w/ [b]supporting fire) on that same enemy's' assault phase (that turn), does the Heavy Burst Cannon shoot the Nova Charge again (for the third time) at BS 2 with the Nova Charge? 3x12 rending shots, though dangerous, seems a little insane to me.

Thanks guys.

Yes, that's how it works.

36 Rending *Get's Hot* shots - and it'll get hot more often than it rends.

Yes to all questions.

Except the Riptide can't fire twice in one player turn, so can't overwatch in the same player turn that you shot interceptor.

Says?

Interceptor says "next turn" which is "player turn". Interceptor (Enemy movement) and Overwatch (Enemy assault) are the *same* turn.

Please do not bring a thread's hotly contested argument into another thread.

If you want to argue that, please do so in that thread.

Except you would be wrong.

Read the thread, there's another thread discussing this already.

I have read the thread. That statement is no more right in that thread either.
