PostSubject: Exploding Transports   Exploding Transports I_icon_minitimeThu Jun 15 2017, 12:53

Ok, just wondering how others are reading this:

Transports
"If a Transport is destroyed, any units embarked within it immediately disembark (see below) before thre transport model is removed, but you must then roll one dice for each model you just set up on the battlefield. For each roll of 1, a model that disembarked (your choice) is slain."

Explodes
"If this model is reduced to 0 wounds, roll a D6 before removing the model from the battlefield; on a 6 it explodes, and each unit within 3" suffers D3 mortal wounds."


So, in which order would you do this?

Would you disembark passengers before the Explodes roll? Meaning that they may take damage from the disembark AND then may take damage from the Explodes?
Or would you do the Explodes result first? Meaning the passengers only get their own damage roll and are NOT also hit by the Explodes?

Do you see this as a "Sequencing" and "same time" thing giving you the choice?

They seem to occur at the same time (ie, before the transport model is removed from the table) which means that the player whose turn it is decides the order. The 'immediately' in the disembark rule might muddy the waters though as you could argue that this implies it happens before anything without that qualifier.

I'd say that they suffer from both, and that order is irrelevant.

Also; am I the only one that wishes this explosion was a bit more... regular. As in on a 2+?

If the explosion occurs before the passengers disembark then they are not on the table at the time and don't get hit.

The destroyed rule actually specifies before models are disembarked.
SO I say they only suffer one, but not the explosion.
The reason why it is only on a 6 is because otherwise it could be more usefull to shoot your own weak wounded transport then the enemy, just so you get the destroyed result and they suffer damage.
