If a model (or unit) has PE they do not have the ability to re-roll until they roll a 1. Why is no one else talking about this? You cannot roll a 1 on 2D6.

Blast weapons require a roll of 2D6 in case you didn't know. (I'm starting to wonder.)

Everyone knows that. Good job that having the ability doesnt hinge on rolling a specific result

Blast weapons never roll To Hit. They never "miss" either, so they can never fail To Hit either.

However, the rule doesnt care how badly you rolled to hit. Just that you have the ability to reroll
Kambien - gets hot and rerolls. What does it give BS6+ as an example of?

And Chewies is still living on Endor.

Seriously, read the rules. You don't "roll to hit" with a blast weapon so therefore no "re-roll to hit" ability affects it, regardless of what you need to roll for it to happen.

So then we look at the rules for Blasts and Re-rolls and what do you know? They got this covered! If your model would have the ability to re-roll its to hit roll (which we are not rolling on 2D6 as blasts do not roll to hit) then you can re-roll the scatter dice.

Now if only you could show where PE grants the model the ability, you'd have a point.

So, have we circled enough this time around?

Time to move on, I think.
