Hey guys,
I'm playing BFG for quite a while now, but my friends and I still have some questions:
1)
Can spaceships shoot at fighters on CAP?
2)
If a spaceship with a fighter on CAP gets a blastmarker placed in base contact by enemy fire, does the owning player have to roll a D6 for the fighter to see if it is destroyed on a 6+ after the enemy fire (because the fighter is now in contact with a blastmarker) as well as during the own spaceship's movement (because the fighter is moving through a blastmarker)?
3)
A squadron of escorts (1 shield each) on brace for impact is shot at. Enemey fire scores 3 armour penetration results. The first hit is absorbed by the shield of the nearest escort to the enemy. 2 hits are remainig. Does the escort have to roll both D6 (brace for impact) together or one at a time? Imagine the two dice show a 3 and a 4. If the escort rolls one at a time and the first result is the 3, it is destroyed and the second hit creats a blastmarker in base contact to the second escort as hits absorbed by shields cannot be saved by brace for impact. Otherwise if both dice were rolled together it only detroyed the first escort and the second escort did not get a blastmarker in base contact as the hit is saved by brace for impact. Which one is right?
4)
Did the rule for splitting torpedoes (compendium 2010 page 7) also apply to escortships? For example: A squadron of 3 cobras is splitting their torpedoes in two salvos (strength 2 and strength 4) or rather fire them not in a single salvo. Are these two salvos allowed to be fired at the same target?
5)
A (drifting/ blazing) hulk is moving two times per full turn (one time in every players turn). If it is moving in both movement phases through a blastmarker or gas/ dust cloud does it have to check in each of the two movenment phases if it gets a hit or just once per full turn?
6)
Fighting in low orbit: It says in the rulebook page 48 that all firepower shooting in low orbit suffers one column shift to the right, lances and nova cannons require a 4+ roll to fire and torpedoes may not be fired by ships at all. Does this rule also apply to ground unit planetary defences?
Hope you can help me!
