I was reading over the rules again and came upon a question. Normally when my rhino goes over something like a river or peice of rubble then I roll a dice and the rhino is immobilised on a result of 1. I was fine with it untill recently when I questioned if I was doing it right and not I'm confused at what the result is and what counts as difficult terrain and what counts as dangerous terrain

Non walker vehicles treat most difficult terrain as dangerous.

So what counts as difficult and what counts as dangerous

Vehicles treat difficult terrain as dangerous. So if you designate a piece of terrain as difficult vehicles treat it as dangerous.

All terrain in 7th edition has it's own 'datasheet'. The rulebook has a few examples but the rest you have to make up. Anything that isn't described as 'Open Terrain' counts as at least 'Difficult Terrain'. 'Dangerous Terrain' would be described as such in it's datasheet.

Non walker Vehicles treat all 'Difficult Terrain' as 'Dangerous Terrain' which for the most part is all terrain on the battlefield. There's only a few examples of 'Open Terrain', hills being the most common.

Ok so if you roll a 1 then you loose a hull point not immobilized?

Vehicles are not slowed down by difficult terrain. However, they treat all difficult terrain as dangerous terrain instead. A vehicle that fails a Dangerous Terrain test immediately loses one Hull Point and suffers an Immobilised result from the Vehicle Damage Table (pg76).

Both lose a hull point and become immobilised.

Ok thanks
