We had a question come up in our AT game last night using the homebrew Titan Legion rules(WD July 2019). My son had taken Offensive Surge stratagem allowing each titan in a maniple to fire a single weapon twice in the combat phase for one extra reactor level and also Legion Trait Fury of the Fallen which also allows the titan to fire all their weapons twice and then roll on the Catastrophic Table (coupled with Macro Magazines is very nasty).

Question is does the weapon that fires twice due to Offensive Surge get to fire again due to Fury of the Fallen allowing an additional shot or because the weapon has already fired twice not get to shoot again as the wording of both abilities say fire the weapon twice which it already has?

Thanks

Without the materials in hand, I would say you get those three shots. Of course Fury of the Fallen destroys your engines, so that blaze of glory is, while spectacular, rarely winning you many games. Offensive surge is better played when you're in good position to hammer home your advantage and FotF is a spiteful last goodbye of a dying god. Can check later on for a more technical answer, but that doesn't sound too bad.

Don't know exact wordings but at least in 40k side if you have two abilties that specifically say "shoot twice" or "shoot 2nd time" rather than "shoot additional time" then it's 2 times. Not 3 times.

Have hard time to see why same wording would be different here either. But of course question is what is the exact wording of ability. If even one of them says additional time or again or doesn't generally specify 2nd time then it would be okay. Unless of course that "shoot 2nd time" one is the one that results in blowing up as then...well you would be dead before shooting additional time with the other.
