Hello,

Do tanks such as the Eldar Tempest and the like get to shoot their main weapon at 2 different targets or do both shots have to go at the one target?

Thanks,

Pat

Hi!

This is one point that has been argued for and against one way or another for years.

I usually don't mind player splitting their fire.

As for the letter for the "rules", usually such rapid fire weapons target only one target.

Sorry for the split decision, but in reality there has never been a solid consensus on this.

Sorry, but that is the opposite of the rules as written. It is written quite clearly that:

Quote:
Each die may be given a separate target, so you can spread your fire around or concentrate on one target. Units with multiple weapons and weapons with multiple dice may spread the dice among different targets.


So it clearly states that each weapon with multiple dice can shoot different targets. Otherwise it would make some units/weapons near useless. A vulcan megabolter with 8d4+ (0) would have to shoot the same target? It is meant to kill multiple infantry units.

The colossus would need to fire alle 8d4+ (-2) battel cannons on the same target? It is meant to shoot multiple targets. The cyclops is the pretorian for 1 target fire.

Weapons like to pulsar (eldar titan weapon) generates multiple hits and they have to be on the same target which would generate the many hits on only a single target. But many dice can be spread around and that has been said on this board before when explaining shooting (you have to distribute alle dice from weapons before resolving, but you can distribute them)

I (and the rules as written) disagree with that ruling.

I agree with what Ronnie_Nielsen said above.
