Hi all,

Just started playing necromunda after a 15 year, half my life break.

We cant find in the rule book where it says the rules for heavy weapons pivoting on the spot. Does this count as moving and hence they cant fire? This seems a bit harsh but I think it says you cant pivot then go on overwatch which suggests this is the case.

If anyone could clarify this for me I would be grateful

That doesn't sound correct to me but what do I know

would have thought that it was perfectly okay to pivot and it never occured to me that you couldn't.

Even if someone shows that it is not possible we will continue to play as we have been. I don't see it as an issue if it is in house.

From the FAQ:

Q: Can my fighter spin to any facing and still go into overwatch or do I have to spend a turn spinning first?
A: Although the ORB states that a fighter may do nothing in the turn that they go into overwatch, spinning is not defined as an action. So, you may 'spin' your fighter at the start of his turn to face any direction he wants without being classed as moving prior to going into overwatch.

Great thanks
