In a recent game, an opponent used Guide on a Falcon against me. A spectator said that it couldn't be done, I tohught that it could, and so did my opponent.

The confusion comes from the wording of guide:

"...one Eldar unit with a model within..."

Can Guide be used on a vehicle?

The argument was that Vehicles aren't units, but vehicles - as the rulebook makes distinctions between shooting at units, and shooting at vehicles, it seems that vehicles don't count as "units".

I wasn't sure, so I'm asking here.

Any help please?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171702.page GMT
Page 8: "A unit will usually consist of several infantry models or small vehicles that fight as a group, but it can also be a single, very large and/or powerful model, such as a battle tank, a monstrous alien creature or a lone hero. In the rules that follow, all of these things are referred to as units."

(And in case your opponent, or another picky spectator, disputes that the Falcon is a unit 'with a model within 6"', page 6: "When you see the term 'model' used in the rules, it will apply to both vehicle and non-vehicle models." )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171704.page GMT
It wasn't my opponent causing a problem, it was a spectator and an over-zealous Redshirt (and we all know what they are like!).

On another note, I sure miss being able to guide Falcons from the inside!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171708.page GMT
Good thread, I thought it was non-vehicles also.
(looks at falcons) ahh pretty pretty falcons...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171765.page GMT

I took the job as part time and I could kind of see the Red Shirtitis in some of the my co-workers but I must admit I never really had issues that became this stupid... in fact in my opinion I ran a tight ship.

Mostly because it was a part time job, my real job being with the Criminal Court out here.

I always found that the RedShirts were responsible for RESEARCHING the rules before running their mouths about personal opinions. That is how I rolled, if something came up it was researched and ruled on. I never kept a tally on right vs wrong and how I did... Maybe I should've.

But man the horror stories ya'll tell makes me sorry I still have a Red Shirt in my closet. I kept it as a souvenier.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/171702/171958.page GMT
