No cover save vs indirect fire the sniper dies

[@Boltaction1944]

No its a reverse move which is 1/2 so reverse run is 9” and should still be there

[@cogsonthetabletop4162]

@Boltaction1944 movement rules state a advance order in reverse is half movement, it does not say the same for a running order, which is where the question comes up

[@Boltaction1944]

@ so i read the rules and as written you cannot run in reverse only an advance is possible in reverse which is half of forward

[@cobruh836]

gun shields dont make units tougher anymore, they gain soft cover from small arms, which is actually much worse, because its useless against anything with pen value and also provides no benefit if youre already in cover

[@cogsonthetabletop4162]

@cobruh836 At the time I was thinking that was the actual rule, but didn't check.

[@patrickhill8494]

Wait, how did the MMG destroy a Buffalo? They have a 7+ DV, and the MMG has no pen value. It could have been pinned up by the MMG, but not hurt. The +1 Pen 'Open-topped' modifier is only for things that hit the top armour of the vehicle. Edits: Some spelling and clarification of the 'Open-topped' rule.

@patrickhill8494 The lvt amphibious troop transport is 6+ soft skin, in hindsight i should of went with the buffalo

[@patrickhill8494]

@cogsonthetabletop4162 aaaaaah, that was my confusion. I play Brits, and our LVT-4 'Buffalo' is an armoured carrier. I thought they were identical!

At 35min. It looks like the heavy howitzer didn't have line of sight to the Marine squad
