Hi there,

The battlewagon's rule Mobile Fortress says "This model ignores the penalty for moving and firing heavy weapons".

Its other rule "Open-toped" states "... any restrictions or modifiers that apply to this model also apply to its passengers..."

Does the Mobile Fortress rule count as a "modifier" and mean that the passengers of the Wagon can fire heavy weapons even if the Wagon has moved?

You still incur the -1 to hit for moving and firing Heavy Weapons. Unfortunately, the Battle Fortress rule isn't a Modifier nor a Restriction, but a special rule.

Oh thanks, then I guess I was a little bit too optimistic about this plan)

I strongly suggest reading the FAQs, before posting.

Q: The Battlewagon’s Mobile Fortress ability says the
Battlewagon ‘ignores the penalty for moving and firing Heavy
weapons’, and its Open-topped ability says that ‘restrictions or
modifiers that apply to this model also apply to its passengers’.
Does that mean that an embarked unit also ignores the penalty
for firing Heavy weapons if the Battlewagon has moved?
A: No.
