If you're saying that
FC works, but
FD doesn't, that's a double standard if I've ever heard one.
FC states "add +1 to both I and S when
attacking in close combat"...
FD states "any model
attacking the vehicle in close combat will be wounded on a
D6 roll of 4+"
If you argue that the plank's "make close combat attacks exactly as if he were disembarked and charging" equates "attacking in close combat" and therefore triggers
FC, then ergo it should also trigger
FD, since the wording of both rules is identical as far as the trigger ("attacking in close combat").
Also,
FD isn't an attack. It just states that attacking models suffer a wound on a certain roll. It bypasses the standard method for fighting in close combat.
*Note: I'm fine agreeing that the wording for the boarding plank makes it arguable (for some) that the
FD doesn't work, I'm just pointing out that the same logic applies to Furious Charge.
