Ahhh...I see your point.

I've already asked for clarifications from the rules arb, as the wording leaves some ambiguities.

whilst we're on the subject of new rules, am I right in stating this is is a change from the current set of rules:

page 17
If a 'Mech given a move order to run fails a break away roll, it does not gain 1 heat for the run
------------

If you don't get the heat, then why would you need to declare a run before attempting to move it?

Ahh the new Age Old Question what counters Decoy is really a very simple question to answer my young pupils the answer is .......

Close Combat/Charge/Death-From-Above :cheeky: :p ;)

Which still brings us back to my point about the defense,

That is ok I also forgot this answer to the Age-Old-Riddle

Artillery Pogs :classic:

On the subject of AnP, say you have 2 damage and fire at 2 targets that both have infantry in base contact. If you allocate 1 damage each to vehicle "A" and vehicle "B", do all the infantry in base contact with each vehicle take 1 damage or 2? Unclear as it says "Score damage equall to this unit's damage value to each infantry against which the attack succeeds."

Re: Decoy, look at my location <-- ;)

the thing is, you score 1 dmg to each vehicle (both A and B) but all infantry in base conact with these vehicles recieve damage equal to the firing units base dmg (in this case 2) as long as the attack roll is greater than their def of course.

This is great. I just pulled a Liao Shockwave on Tuesday. It's value just went up:).

Oddly enough, if I read it correctly, if you have two target 2 damage AnP and target two seperate infantry formations (the targets being infantry units with other infantry units basing them) and successfully hit all of them then it is possible to deal only 1 damage to the primary infantry targets but 2 damage to each infantry target basing them.

Also, you could target one single unit and another unit with infantry basing it. If you hit all targets with your attack roll you could assign full damage to the lone target, zero damage to the second target, but full damage to all infantry basing that undamaged "target."

Thanks, Draddog. The Liao Shockwave is a force to be reckoned with.
