 Posted: 27-Feb-2024 15:02 Post subject: Question about the HAG weapons |
  |
|
Since HAGs are a cluster weapon, I would assume that the damage is dealt in groups, but I cannot find the information on the size of the groupings. LRMs do 5 damage groups, SRMs do 2 damage groups, but HAGs do ___?
I'm guessing it's 5 as well, but I can't find it in the rules manual.

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hyper-Assault_Gauss_Rifle_40
"Unlike some other weapons using cluster munitions, there is no modifier on the initial attack roll. However, when a hit is scored, a Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle receives a +2 modifier on the Cluster Hits table at short range, and a –2 modifier at long range. Modified rolls above 12 or below 2 are treated as a 12 or 2 respectively. Damage location is then determined in 5-point groups plus any remainder below 5 being the final roll."
"TechManual, p. 219, "Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle"

| Thank you. Annoying that it doesn't seem to be listed in the standard rules.

Problem is there are a lot of rules and a lot of weapons. The creep was real back in the day!

| The issue is that in Warhammer 40L the rules get revised with each balance pass... its no wonder the rules are digitized as it is more of a necessity than a convenience.
