Just to clarify, as I can't quite work this one out, do you have to be physically incapable of harming an enemy unit to use this ability, or is it just a general clause for voluntarily failing morale checks when trapped in combat?

The main case I can think of for this is falling back from terminators so you can shoot them.

"It cannot hurt" leaves little room for interpretation.

If you CAN hurt them, how can you say "it cannot hurt"?

Is it possible to inflict damage, no matter how statistically improbable actually getting that dice roll may be? Then you can't use, 'Our Weapons are Useless.'

Grendel I see no room for interpretation in that at all. If you can hurt it you have to stay, if you can't you can use this rule. Where is your interpretation?

That's what I'm saying. It's very clear.

"leaves little room for interpretation" - as in there's not much you can argue about it.

People seem to be thinking I said "leaves a little room for interpretaion" - as in it could be argued. Not what I said.

ahh good :-P i was going to start doubting your ability to follow rules then. Yeah i changed the words around when i read it.
