I agree, balance analysis comes later, first it would be nice to know how to play it.

I love how everyone sees the way they read it as the "clear way" to play it

Ok, I'm a bit confused... First of all, I am one of those resisting Facebook so that debate is kind of out of scope for me. However regarding the proposed fix, a couple of things I don't understand. When you note that if the missile misses the ground spot (5+ ) and scatters there is no point because...

Phaze, once again .. thanks for helping us with this! Did you get any clarification on inescapable? Even if the inescapable would apply only to the target at the center of the template and not the full blast , that would do a lot for balance... among other things it is harder to hit a mecha than the...

agreed, if the inescapable applies to everyone under the template, combined with the only shoot them down on a 6 looks deadly... if it only applies to the direct target actually hit, the original target (ie when not targeting the ground) then it might be less dramatic

thanks for the answer, one thing that might not have been clarified, if chosing option 1 with a four volley missile where you only roll one d6 to hit.. is a hit inescapable as per a 4 volley missiles or is it only inescapable if you get hit by 4 different templates ? or is maybe never... If a group...

oops, I haven't even considered PATACK's version, that is also an alternative view, if 3 hit and one misses you get an on target template but no scatter for the lost one, that one just is ignored... ( all under option 1 of the reading of the rules ) that is also a way to read it and it makes a big d...

So,two votes for reading as option 2 and one vote for reading as option 1.. one comment regarding your answer Phaze... since the phalanx does not have split fire it can only split the missiles among targets 2" away so why would he target a scout on its own, and while at it why would he center t...

Also I believe that under option 2 a volley of 4 does not gain the inescapable characteristic based on the description on pgs 27-28 since the missiles don't "directly" hit the target except as per blast I wish they would clarify the interaction between blast and volley...it is pretty criti...

and btw, when doing option 2 my reading is that the missile don't gain the inescapable since this is a different mechanic...

I really wish they would come and clarify the interaction between blast and volley...

We were playing the other day and I think we might have done something wrong.. option 1) firing a volley of four missiles with blast at one target we were rolling 4 dice and any misses we would put a different template and scatter it. option 2) after reading the rules in detail it seems that you onl...
