http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k, and wondering if there was a way to change it that might allow some more units to find it useful. I noted the annoyance people feel for things like Warp Talons and Daemons not having Grenades, and frustrating assaulting a unit in cover can be.

So I was thinking:
- A unit that charges another unit in the Assault phase receives +1 A and I during that phase.
- If an unengaged unit is charged, and the charging unit moves through difficult terrain, the charged unit receives +5 I for that phase.

The bonus Initiative reflects the impact of the charge, giving a very slight addition to the 'do I stand here and shoot 'em or do I charge?' decision. The additional Initiative means chargers are before things like Axes and Fists, Guardsmen in cover would strike at Ini Step 8, which is a heck of an advantage still, and wargear that adds or subtracts I might gain a slight edge in some situations.

Thoughts? I figured charging the BRB rules with perhaps a couple of errata sentences for some Codices would be better than trying to refix assault for each unit that might want to be assaulting in each individual codex. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6593264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6593264.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6593280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6593280.page GMT
I just thought the flat 'At I' or 'I1' was too limiting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6593321.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6593321.page GMT
What about assault / defensive grenades?
What about units with the "ignores difficult terrain" rule?
What about jump / jet infantry or monstrous creatures?
Would stealth / shroud come into play?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6595582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6595582.page GMT Assault grenades removes the I bonus for being in cover.
Defensive grenades removes the extra attack but not the I bonus for charging.
I would probably say ignores difficult terrain ignores or reduces the bonus for being in cover.
I'd probably not include bonuses for stealth/shrouded, they feel more centred on shooting to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6596916.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6596916.page GMT
I'd go with "Ignores difficult terrain = Ignores I Penalty / Bonus"

While "Move through Cover = Reduces I Penalty / Bonus by 1D6 (To a minimum of the charged units base I)"
This way you can account for them moving through cover at different rates / tripping over themselves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6604297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582743/6604297.page GMT
