- sorry if it's been answered, i did try and search but only found the hit penalty/re-rolling thread... -
If one member (or more) in a unit moves does the whole unit count as moving?
This is in regard to say, having a 10 man unit and 1 heavy weapon, if 9 of them move but the heavy weapon was able to stay stationary,
would he still receive the -1 to hit because his unit moved?

I am pretty sure you have to keep unit coherence. So if everything else moved, stayed in unit coherence, and the heavy didn't move, you should be fine. Normally the neg to heavies moving is model based, not unit based, iirc. Could be wrong.

I think that this time around it counts it on a model by model basis. At least that is what the Heavy weapon rule seems to imply, since it specifically calls out the model. Basically, in your example, if something asked "Did the UNIT move?" then it's yes, but if something asks your heavy weapons guys "Did this MODEL move?" then the answer is no.

I agree with Bacon. It allows for shenanigans where you flip part of a unit around to get a bonus without moving the heavy. It's, as Reece would say, Strategery.

Models that moved have moved. Simples!
