Me and a friend have been debating if weapon beast lets you fire a tfex twice in overwatch. I'd like to see heat the consensus on this is.

If I need to provide our relevant arguements I shall do so, but I'd like to see who others say without our input if possible.

Thanks

Liam

No it doesn't. If you look at the wording carefully it says "during your next shooting phase". Therefore anything outside of it isn't applicable.

Please read the weapon beast rule, and your question becomes obsolete, it's crystal clear, without any shadow of doubt.

The answer is no, btw.

The rule says they can shoot twice in the Shooting phase, so no it can’t do it in Overwatch which takes place in the Charge phase.

Thanks, I thought it was very clear also, the others in my group don't see it this way, I'm happy to keep playing their way as it's a friendly group, but rules debates do come up, this is one of the only ones that's lasted this long tho.

Thanks again.

What are their arguments that he can shoot twice during overwatch ?

Basically that as the overwatch rule says it uses normal shooting rules it counts, even though it then says it takes place in the enemy charge phase.

Thus the others in the group think I'm being pedantic. To me it's as clear as day as it's explicitly states the phase and overwatch isn't that phase, but I don't want it to become something that stops usplaying so I'm going to leave it be.

It's strange as we're VERY strict with all other rules and how they're written but I guess this will happen occasionally.

How can they argue when it says in the book "during your next shooting phase"? Over watching takes place neither during your turn or shooting phase.

I'll try and read through and post their arguments if needed, I just wanted to see what the consensus was without our input. I'll prob post tonight as I'll be busy during the day (I'll post my arguement too if you like as you may feel I'm missing a key point).

Anyway, I've email gw and I have my first tournament next week so hopefully either of them with clarify too, the nid play will be coming to keep my company as none of us have been to a tournament before.

Tell them some stranger on the internet said they're all being <removed>. Then show them this post so they know you're not making it up. As others have pointed out, they are painfully wrong.
