Back then night fighting was a range detriment. Roll 2d6, multiply by 3. That is the maximum range a unit can select targets in.

So for the 8th revamp? No change to the actual rule, just put it to a dice roll. Turn 1 night fighting happens on a 4+. This is decided at the beginning of the first movement phase. If the person going first doesn't opt for it, the one going second gets to roll, and gets +1 to their roll.

That said, have you tried out either of the 8th edition night fighting rules? There are rules for it in the main rulebook that I actually enjoy quit a bit, and the open war cards have their own version that I like slightly less but still enjoy. Both are more streamlined and avoid, "Lol, you rolled snake eyes. Now you can't hit the thing 7" away" moments.

Nah. It adds a lot of extra rolling to the game for a pretty disruptive rule that will nerf some armies harder than others (though you could argue that the armies hit hardest by it might need it). It doesn't feel great to add a dozen extra rolls to a first turn shooting phase just so more of your rolls can fail.

I agree. The night fighting rule in the Battlezone section of the main rulebook is really good. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757116/9984873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757116/9984873.page GMT Re:Return of night fighting. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757116/9987419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757116/9987419.page GMT
