So When building an army you can use any faction in the same battleforce. Even to go as far as no two units being from the same faction?

The only stipulation in the AoD rules come under FORMATIONS.

So House rules may state that you need to follow the 1/2 pure rule, etc.?

Am I getting it?

Unless there are House rules or a scenario specifying what you can or can't use, you can build a force with whatever faction(s) you want. What may limit this is if you chose a Faction Pride card or a Situational Alliance card. But that is completely up to you to use.

R.I.S.C. Heat Sink Override Kit

(optional) When this unit makes a ranged combat attack using its primary or secondary damage value, it may make a second attack using the other damage value. This unit gains 2 heat in addition to any other heat generated by the order.

Before making the attack roll for the second attack, roll one six-sided die. On a result of 1 or 2, this gear is ignored. Also on a result of 1, eliminate this gear and deal this unit 1 pushing damage.

I can see the confusion. What if the primary was ranged and the secondary was hand to hand? If I shoot with the primary, can I "shoot" again using the primary range and deal secondary damage?

Madcatter agrees that the specifications on this card are not clear. Is anybody willing to make a judgment on the interpretation?

The AoD rules say during boarding the speed value of the transport is halved. Then they don't say you get full speed on the next order you give the loaded transport. I assume, when loaded, a transport moves full speed.

Example: I load my APC vehicle and notice the speed is 8. THIS turn the APC can move 4 inches. Subsequent turns it can move its full speed until I decide to disembark. On that turn speed is halved again.

I think I have it.

Next, VTOL transports at NOE use stated transport rules but have more rules for Cruising.

After writing this, I think I have it.

On Heat Sink override, if the shot is outside of range, the attack automatically fails.

Hey...

When you go online to sign up for an event at a particular venue....they should have this info. Otherwise it would be just as the other answers state.

Is there anything published that states "gear rules"? I would like to have it if someone could please point me in the right direction.

I want to put two gear on a Mech but they both are for the attack slot ( IT and Repair)

Is this OK?

I just read p 36 and 37. I must remember it is under CEC, gear and pilots.

"A unit may not assinged more than one piece of gear with the same combat value requirement unless one states that it may be used on a ombat value along with other gear, or the gear is applied to a different damage value."

The good news is I can put REPAIR and IMPROVED TARGETING on my light mech and have a handy repair mech.

Specifications-- Can I use the Range from the first weapon when I fire the second?

The Wording makes it sound like , "it may make a second attack using the other damage value."

See..."damage value" not range.

What is the correct way?

Kotch On Heat Sink override, if the shot is outside of range, the attack automatically fails.

Do you mean the second attack uses the stats of the second weapon? That is easy to understand.

yeah what if you base the target with an assault and fire ranged and have the 2nd be a close combat?

then when you use a pilot like danai in yenlowang does she get to make a 2nd close combat attack after the 2nd attack from Heatsink Override kit? giving you 3 attacks?

Excellent!

More discussion.

When will we get this one sorted out.

Later.

[quote=danieljackson]When you use this SE, you use the other damage value and everything associated with that damage value (range included). The rules are pretty clear on that in that you specify which damage value you are using and the range type and range follow on from that.

Otherwise, what range would you use when making the second attack? You couldn't use the same range or type as the first attack because by definition they only apply when you make the attack using that DV. So unless you could use the right range and DV then the attack couldn't happen.

I suggest you read the bit on how to make a ranged combat attack in the rules. You'll find pretty much all of it there.

Kotch could you look into the matter of Danai in Yenlowang using her ability in a close combat attack doing a ranged attack (0-2")and for the 2nd attack of heatsink overide with a closecombat while she bases an opposing figure,

can she then make a 3rd attack?

The Gear says that if the first attack hits you may make a second attack.

Danai's ability says that when you make a CC attack, then you can make a second close combat attack.

As worded I'd say they definitely stack.
