Recently had to deal with a handful of questions, some of which I think may have been addressed already but I've forgotten the answers, and also had two questions regarding interpretation of the changes in the BBB that were in the whole revamping that limited ordnance, changed NCs to scatter weps, and lowered the price of the Styx
1: May ships conduct teleport/ portal H&R attacks while within asteroid fields? May they do so if they are in an asteroid field and their enemy not? (and vice versa)
2: Is a ld test for navigation required to turn a ship in an asteroid field if it remains stationary as Eldar may or a ship in an asteroid field in a gravity well or on BR special orders.
3: Since vessels may only fire at 10cm or less in asteroid fields, to they gain a positive shift on the gunnery table for battery weapons at close range, or is that presumed to be negated due to the asteroid field?
Next 2 have risen from a thread on Warseer:
1: Do escorts no longer get to reroll their attempts to navigate asteroid fields? The rule book states that if they fail their test, 1d6 is distributed across the squadron but does not mention whether the reroll is removed or remains an aspect of the rules. Are hits distributed as one would weapons fire? It makes sense because if the player may distribute the hits as he pleases, a 6 strong escort squadron could fail and just take shield impacts as a result...
2: Related to 1, the "new" rendition of the rule book doesn't state that ships making AAF checks through the asteroid fields must make their ld check on 3d6. It just seems stupid that a ship moving at high speeds with no ability to maneuver would have a harder time of negotiating the field, but I'd like every one elses takes on it.
