New rulebook FAQ

Postby Spack » Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:11 pm

GW have posted a new FAQ for the 5th ed rulebook today: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Cus ... eb2010.pdf

Only new entry seems to be the 2nd errata:

Page 41 – Multiple Combats, Attacking.
In all three bullet points, the word ‘combat’ will be changed to ‘round of combat’.

Yes, cheers Dan.
Rather a subtle change though, unless I'm missing something huge.

Wouldn't all 3 bullet points take effect after all assault and defender reacts moves have transpired and before any combat dice rolls are made in I order?

Page 46 – Morale while falling back.
The paragraph should be changed to:
Units that are falling back automatically fail all
Morale checks.

So now if you're now assaulted while falling back you're dead? Or is it a regrouping check you take in that situation??

Since the new rule seems to eliminate the "...except those to regroup (see right)." then I don't know. Would really mess up quite a few of the rules on page 46 wouldn't it?

See p46 - tests to Regroup are a "special kind of Leadership test" - not a Morale check. :)
