<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers.
The units inside the tank shoot first, and then the tank itself pops smoke. It seems to not break any rules as it is one unit shooting then the other. On the other hand. Do units shooting from a tank count as the tank's shooting or the unit's shooting? Nothing specifically states one way or the other, but generally it seems that a unit inside a tank follows all the same rules for shooting as the tank itself while embarked.

What are your opinions on if this is playable (legal) or not?

Edit: Never mind, the answer is in a thread halfway down the page. Any mod may delete/lock this one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488524.page GMT Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers. IIRC, popping smoke occurs at the end of the vehicle's movement, not during the shooting phase................
Units firing from a transport are a separate unit from the vehicle and do not count as the transport firing. They may fire at different targets, etc etc.

With all that said, it does seem that a unit inside a transport that has popped smoke can indeed fire. The Smoke rules only prohibit the vehicle from firing and do not address embarked units at all.
So RAW, yes, RAI, IMO, no. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488550.page GMT Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers.
...it's still sheisty though IMHO. I wouldnt try it in a tournement game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488583.page GMT Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers.
I mean look at a Tau upgrade for like 5 pts, it gives them obscure the whole game and the vehicle can move and shoot as normal.

This one is RAW solid. The vehicle can not shoot. Nothing about the squad inside.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488594.page GMT Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers.

Depends on how far away the shooter is.......................... My deepstriking meltaguns generally have no problem with this. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/488682.page GMT Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/490023.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225321/490023.page GMT Units shooting from tranports and Smoke launchers.
