I'm looking at the rulebook and it says:

6+ to hit a vehicle moving at cruising speed.

Cruising speed is defined as 6"-12".

Fast Vehicles can move at a third level of Flat Out, and Fast Skimmers can gain a coversave from this.


I'm just wondering, can a Fast Skimmer move 12", fire a weapon/+defensive, and still require 6+ to hit in CC?

I remember reading something about Fast/Skimmers needing to flat-out to claim 6+... but I can't seem to find it anywhere, so I'll discount it for now >___>.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896466.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896466.page GMT Assaulting Fast Skimmers - Rules clarification.
This isn't exclusionary, and doesn't overwrite the fact that if they move more than 6 and up to 12 you also need a 6 to hit them.

Being a skimmer doesn't give them any extra avoidance abilities in terms of close combat, like in 4th edition. A stationary skimmer is auto-hit, 1-6 is 4+, more than 6 to 12 is 6, and flat out is 6, but can be wrecked if you immobilize it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896475.page GMT Assaulting Fast Skimmers - Rules clarification.
I must be very confused then...

I DO remember reading somewhere that skimmers get a 4+ to hit in CC, even if stationary...unless immobilized.

and needing to do 18+ to gain 6+ in CC...

What? You only need to do more than 6" with a skimmer to need 6's to hit...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896557.page GMT Assaulting Fast Skimmers - Rules clarification.

I believe this is an accurate assessment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896620.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896620.page GMT Assaulting Fast Skimmers - Rules clarification.

That's....exactly what I said. 1-6 is 4+, more than 6 to 12 is 6, and more than 12 is also 6.

Nope. Under vehicles it says what you need to hit vehicles compared to how fast they move [and more than 6 needs 6's]. Then under skimmers moving fast it says you hit them on 6's.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896695.page GMT Assaulting Fast Skimmers - Rules clarification.

Time to read again then, and use a new rulebook.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896758.page GMT Assaulting Fast Skimmers - Rules clarification.

Excellent memory, but it's from an earlier edition of the rules. ;-)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251773/896771.page GMT
