The only requirement is that the unit is within 6" of the unit they are assaulting (not including units on upper floors or in buildings, those have separate rules if the assaulting figures are outside of a building). I know that you can assault into ruins, but you must make a terrain test and assault at I1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/289421/1488333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/289421/1488333.page GMT Do assaults require LOS http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/289421/1488350.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/289421/1488350.page GMT Re:Do assaults require LOS WHFB and 40K:

In WHFB, a charge requires the charging unit to see the target because the rules say so on page 18, column two, middle paragraph.

In 40k, there is no corresponding requirement for line of sight anywhere. The requirements for declaring an assault are half a column of text on page 33 of the rulebook, and anyone insisting that a LOS requirement exists should be politely asked to point out where it is.

And if your group is coming in from some other, more enlightened gaming system, there's still time to change.

That whether or not assaults require LOS it's a constant source of disagreement?

I really don't think anyone outside his local gaming group is qualified to judge on that one...

visavismeyou wrote:quite clearly states in the rules that you can move around impassible objects any distance up to 6 inches to get into base to base contact in order to assault. Never says you need LoS and requiring LoS would make no sense. You are in a war, you walk around the corner of a building to find an enemy Unit standing there... You had no clue they were there... What do you do? Stand there and do an Irish jig? or assault them?

its quite clearly RAW that you dont need los to charge...
however, visavismeyou, its kind of besides the point for what your saying...
there is already normal movement phase in 40k, assault is a specific movement to charge into combat...
the way you put it makes it seem like you are always charging around hoping you run into an enemy if you cant see one already...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/289421/1488850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/289421/1488850.page GMT Do assaults require LOS LOS required helps me. I can actually see both sides of the argument (if you cant see it you cant assault it makes sense) but agree that there is no specific requirement for LOS in the rulebook.

As to your question Spetulhu...poll was made to check if there was something we were missing in our local group. Im not sure if your post added anything to the conversation but good on you for contributing.
