rasmussen81 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 We ran into a situation we weren't sure about in our game tonight, hoping people could help us figure it out. An emplacement trooper is facing toward a unit of Tauntauns but the firing arc is blocked by a large building. One figure of the Taun is behind the building and within the firing arc but is out of LOS. The other Taun is within LOS but is outside the firing arc. Can the emplacement trooper use their emplacement weapon to attack the Taun it can see, or would it have to use its blaster weapon instead? We ruled that it could not use its main weapon without pivoting. Did we play that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Hello, As specified by the Fixed: Front/Rear weapon keyword, "...the defending unit may have at least one of its miniature's bases partially inside the specified firing arc...". It does not specify that a miniature must also be in LOS. ------------------------------------------------------------ 11 hours ago, rasmussen81 said: Can the emplacement trooper use their emplacement weapon to attack the Taun it can see, or would it have to use its blaster weapon instead? Yes, the emplacement trooper unit could use its Fixed: Front weapon to target the Tauntaun Riders unit. 11 hours ago, rasmussen81 said: We ruled that it could not use its main weapon without pivoting. Did we play that right? No; the emplacement trooper unit did not need to perform a pivot. Hope this helps, Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
