That's kinda the point: that's more coherent if you make the (primary) target explicit. By making the primary / main target and secondary target...
Yeah. You won't get traction with this because it's a non-issue. Your interpretation only makes sense because you don't grok the way the...
If the templates are not placed exactly the same, then you've split the Burst and are making 2 x B1 attacks through the Sat Zone. Sat Zones reduce...
Ok. Everyone else conceives of that as "I declare a BS Attack against Trooper A with a LFT, Trooper B is also hit." But practically there's no...
Ok. So in that case who's the target of the attack for the purposes of determining whether or not LoF exists?
Zero Vis zone or DTWing around terrain (DTW is placed in a position where LOF can be drawn from the blast focus to trooper B but LOF between the...
Ok. So in a situation where the attacker can see trooper A but not trooper B (and both are hit by the template) is the attack valid? Why or why not?
The logic is you need to declare a target because you need LOF to a target and you can't have LOF to something that doesn't exist. So unless you...
Sorry I was confused by your answers earlier because I was not expecting them. To follow up: so you agree that you need LOF from the attacker to...
Can you answer the other two questions please.
You need LOF to the target for a BS Attack unless specified otherwise, yes? Do the rules for DTW specify otherwise? If you think they do what...
Aside: [Spoiler]
We've explained that the target CAN'T be the base of the attacking Trooper because friendly models are not valid targets. We've explained that...
Bolded bit is accurate, you subsequent conclusion is not. You do need to declare a (primary) target because the attacker needs LOF to that target...
Actually we're quoting different rules where it says that a target is required for any BS Attack (with exceptions, of which DTW is not one). The...
From BS Attack Declaration: "For a trooper to declare a BS Attack in its Active Turn or Reactive Turn, it needs to: Be using a BS Weapon, or a...
Impact Templates could just say that: but it's reasonable that they don't, because it can be really quite confusing about what is the target of an...
The Targetless trait, Spec Fire and Impact Templates interact in a way that DTWs don't. Look at how you measure Spec Fire: intuitively it is...
Probably not. One of those troops will need the Duo skill. The requirement for Duo is that it's a valid combination (it is) and that one of the...
Yes. Dodge works as per normal. As does Guts.
