Grind Attacks are done "at the beginning of each round of combat..." (Skaven army book, page 67)

So you've basically got 3 options:
1) Impact hits occur before Grind, due to Grind being "attacks of any other kind".
2) They occur simultaneously, as both are "at the beginning", and the Skaven rule beats "attacks of any other kind" as it is more "specific".
3) They occur simultaneously, and as such the controlling player chooses the order (BRB page 10 - Sequencing)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6259168.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6259168.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question simple and makes sense as they're the same idea]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6259587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6259587.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6259717.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6259717.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question Actually, simultaneous attacks always both happen, so it is irrelevant which goes first.

So the only question is whether grinding comes under "any other type of attack". I think it does, because of the basic principles of special rules.

A rule which is like others does not get the benefits or drawbacks of those rules just because they are similar.

I would like to point out anyone claiming impact hits first the grind are wrong. In fact the actual way it would work is grind then impact hits. Thanks to this one paragraph:

"On rare occassions, a conflict will arise between a rule in this book (aka Impact hits), and one printed in a Warhammer Armies book. Where this occurs, the rule printed in the Warhammers Armies book takes precedence."

Now impact hits always strike at the very begining of combat yada yada yada.
Grind attacks are resolve at the start of combat.

The only difference is semantics. So hiwpi from here on in is simultaneously in friendlies and tournaments argue the hell if neccessary for striking first or compromise at simultaneously

There is no conflict between the two rules. Impact Hits state that they happen at the beginning of combat before any other attacks.

As stated above, there is no conflict. Grind says at the beginning. Impact Hits say at the beginning before ANY other type of attack. Caps added.
Is Grind another type of attack? Yes.
Does Grind have a clause to say it goes before any other kind of attack? No.
Does that mean that Impact Hits happen first? Yes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6262183.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6262183.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question flgs tournie organiser who is an ex member of team canada

Of course it would go before banners and items, since they are "any other type of attack".

That clause means there is no conflict, since it is explicit. ASF attacks also happen at the beginning, but Impact hits happen first.

Again, in order to have a conflict, Grind would need to say "at the beginning of combat, before any other type of attacks" or else by FAQed to happen at the same time as Impact Hits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6262874.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6262874.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6263288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6263288.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question brb advanced.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6264137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6264137.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question

Deleted extraneous material.
1. Regardless of wording you can say that all attacks happen at the same time
2. Grind has different text to Impact Hits and is a different rule. They are not the same.
3. There is no conflict, since there is no rule for Grind in the BRB. This means that the army book can't override it.
4. Your TO has ruled on a house rule for simplicity. Excellent.

Clearly there are other interpretations available. You have had to write that you ignore part of Impact hits and allow for older rules being different. Both of those clearly take you away from RAW.

The decision to play both as simultaneous makes sense, but is clearly not what is written.

Would you argue that ASF happens at the same time as Grind too?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6265412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6265412.page GMT Re:impact hits related doom wheel question DW charges ?

I've always played the impact hits replace grind attacks when it successfully charges, although this maybe more of a fluff reason rather than RAW.
i.e. the impetus of the charge causes only impact hits, but the rats turning the wheels cause grind attacks in susbsequent rounds of combat....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6265537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6265537.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question so sadly no, no impact hits + grind (makes sense though)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6265665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563646/6265665.page GMT impact hits related doom wheel question

How do you figure that it's RAI for Impact Hits to happen after Grind attacks?Impact Hits are described as damage caused by the bulk of the unit crashing into the enemy. Grind attacks only occur when a Doomwheel (which has Impact Hits) doesn't charge, and represents it rolling over the foe. Grind attacks are clearly meant to be Impact Hits, but with the additional rule that they occur without charging.

But the actual written rules don't support that. You're kind of outnumbered, here. Check it:

BRB p.71 "Impact Hits are resolved at the very beginning of combat...before...any other kind of attacks are made."
Skaven book p.67 "The Doomwheel itself does a Grind Attack at the beginning of each round combat in which it did not charge."

Question 1: What are "any other kind of attacks"? Answer 1: Any attacks that are not Impact Hits.
Question 2: Is the "Grind Attack" an Impact Hit? Answer 2: No.

Thus, "Grind Attacks" fall under "any other kind of attacks". The argument that there's a rule conflict because they both occur at the beginning of combat is false, because it assumes that "the beginning of combat" cannot be broken down into further pieces. Which, given what we know about Initiative, Always Strikes First, and other rules, is not true.
If you're really hung up on this, consider the following: Impact Hits are made at the very beginning of close combat. Grind Attacks are merely made at the beginning.

A worthwhile note: the Skaven book p.66 "Wounds caused by the fog are resolved before Impact Hits, issuing challenges, and revealing Assassins". --this is a case of where Specific > General, because it explicitly says something other than the BRB. But there is no such clarification or conflict in the Doomwheel's rules. Not technically.
