Turning Attack Craft Waves
« on: August 15, 2012, 12:04:44 AM »
Hi, very new to BFG, not to gaming or 40k (about 18 years), one of my regular gaming comrades & I just started BFG & in our second game, he brought up a question that I've been unable to find an answer to for sure.

He wanted to to know how to measure turning for a wave of attack craft. Does it pivot about the center point or does it wheel on one corner (within its maximum movement distance of course)?

I hate answering rules questions, as it usually turns out that I am wrong and its a simple questions and I look dumb... but here I go... You don't turn the attack craft. You measure their movement in any direction and they have no facing, unlike regular ships.

My rules interpretation is the same but I also hesitated as I can see situations like going between blast markers or bases that might muddle things up.

I have always supported the idea that AC markers should stack, and with models the number of models on the 2x2 cm base, to represent an AC wave

Ya these are awkard, I tend to agree with fracas but unfortunately the rules state they must be in a block. With this in mind I would say to pivot from the furthest most point in the same fashion as the old torpedo rules.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.
