and used it to claim that all 4 tanks had 4+ cover save, I just wanted to confirm if this was 100% legal]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3264685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3264685.page GMT 4 Tank Formation http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3264703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3264703.page GMT 4 Tank Formation Q: Who gets the 4+ cover save for intervening models
when two units are intermingled? (p21)
A: The unit with the model closest to the enemy that is
firing does not have a cover save.

While both squads are obscured, only one would actually get a cover save from the unit in front of it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3264725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3264725.page GMT 4 Tank Formation
Then the model in the back would still get it

Then it falls into "if half the squad is in cover, the whole squad is in cover" rule]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3267776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3267776.page GMT 4 Tank Formation http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3267781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3267781.page GMT 4 Tank Formation
So the model int he back would not get it.

The Mad Tanker wrote:If at least 50% of a unit is in cover, the whole squad gets cover. so since one tank out of two is obscured, the unit gets cover, I think.


True, but when a squad (or squadron in this case) is intermingled, it is trying to take advantage of the voodoo formation, each squad giving the other a cover save. GW saw the flaw in this and FAQ'ed it so that whichever unit is providing cover to the other, that one doesn't get cover.

So, whichever unit is closest to the firing unit doesn't receive cover in this formation, no matter how much it is covered by the other unit. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3267809.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393908/3267809.page GMT
