the card, you get to make three melee attacks. If you have three ranged
attacks on the card, you get to make three ranged attacks.

If you have melee and ranged attacks, you can only choose one type of
attack to make, melee or ranged.

The only rule limiting this from I recall is Cumbersome. If a ranged attack
is Cumbersome you can't use that ranged attack on the same turn as any
other ranged attack.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2541181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2541181.page GMT Re:[YMDC] Noob questions.

How exactly do combined attacks work with a moving unit? IE, can you move the whole unit forward then do a combined attack?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2544054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2544054.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions.
Combined attacks work the same as making a normal attack. They are made in place of making the model's normal attack. You can move the squad into optimum range prior to making the CRA to ensure as many as possible can contribute, then make a single (or a few) massive attacks. It is an excellent ability, especially for warjacks and warcasters since the attack seldom misses and hits very hard.

So yes, you can move the entire unit and then make the combined attack, just like you can move the entire squad and make normal attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2544673.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2544673.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2552483.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2552483.page GMT Re:[YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2552656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2552656.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2559449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2559449.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2559485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2559485.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. d6 apply just to the model directly hit, or to all models hit?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2576567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2576567.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2576735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2576735.page GMT Re:[YMDC] Noob questions.

SPD stat. Difficult terrain, while penalizing movement, does not negate the charge ability.

Here is as good a place as any to put this in:
Unlike other TTS games, Privateer Press is very specific when stating a rule. VERY specific. (I think that is why the mechanic is so stable.) The problem caused by this is that the learning curve at the beginning can be kind of steep. However, once you play some games, and become more comfortable with the concepts, it really makes it easier to play. There are relatively few grey areas in the rules like you might find in other games. The most important things to remember, aside from the basic gaming concepts, is that "CAN" or "MUST" is usually superceded by "CANNOT". Also, card rules usually trump book rules. If you read the rulebook with these concepts in mind, hopefully things will become clearer.

Bonus SPD is doubled because it's talking about SPD and not movement. If a rule
affects movement, then you double SPD and add the bonus. If the rule affects
SPD, you add the bonus then double the SPD. Think of it like this.

Running = 2*SPD

Bonus to SPD = Bonus+SPD
Running with Bonus to SPD = 2* (Bonus+SPD)

Running with Bonus to Movement = Bonus + 2*SPD

In your second example, there is still a penalty involved. They do not cancel.
A SPD 6 model with +2 SPD should be able to advance 8". If it also has a penalty,
then it can only advance 6". The model cannot charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2588871.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2588871.page GMT Re:[YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2588944.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2588944.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2589689.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2589689.page GMT Re:[YMDC] Noob questions.
In this case anything that would reduce your movement in and of itself is a penalty. If the only thing that is slowing you down is rough terrain then you can charge. If there is anything in the equation that reduces any aspect of your moving other than rough terrain then you can not charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2589770.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2589770.page GMT Re:[YMDC] Noob questions. SPD stat. Things that effect MOVEMENT aren't necessarily in this category. The difference is when you talk about 'SPD' the stat, vs. 'MOVEMENT', the action. Any penalties to SPD cancel the charge action.

SPD, like +2 spd, then yes, it is doubled when you run, leading to an extra 4" of movement. It can also be added for +2 to a charge.

Most say +2 movement, which does not get doubled if you run, it just gets added at the end for a +2 no matter what kind of movement you make.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2618820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2618820.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2625277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/352461/2625277.page GMT [YMDC] Noob questions.

Just to kind of add to this, there is a bit of a list of things out there that aren't warriors.

The rule of thumb is that a model is always a warrior model unless it is:
- A warbeast
- A warlock
- A battle engine
- Karchev
- the Commadore
- the Spawning Vessel

Absolutley everything else in the game is a warrior currently, I believe.

I think the rule the poster is thinking of is Soulless, as there are models that don't have souls. And there are also a few that deny soul collection, such as the Omegus.
