Thanks for your quick answer.

However, the situation we were arguing about was a bit more specific: if I hit a ship with a torpedo marker put the way I showed in the above picture (on the prow facing), then reducing in size the marker after turrets and hits, will the ship be hit again in its movement phase, because of its compulsory move? Or should the torpedo marker be put beyond the ship, after resolving its to hit rolls? I forgot to draw the facings of the ship, sorry.

For example: I place 8 tau torpedoes in base contact with a Lunar: after hits and turrets, only 4 remain. The marker is now smaller in size, and no more in base contact (as the center of the marker must remain the same): if it stays where it is, the Lunar will get hit again in its movement phase, unless a Burn Retros order is issued.
The same situation could happen with all kind of non-tau torpedo, of course, provided you can get a good fire solution and the 'perfect' distance from the ship: quite difficult for non-tau cruisers, but not so much for Eldar or escorts, I think.
Thanks again.
