Ok, so, I played with some Whip Scorpions in my last scenario, from sumfink in da sand, and I have questions! Because it's such a large creature, how does it interact with vehicles? With orks on foot, it is very straightforward, but we had a player try to ram it, and they did. Then, because of...

The simplest way to check is, as you resolve HTH for each mini, you check: Am I in base-to-base with an enemy? Yes: Then you don't follow-up, activate the next mini. No, I am not in base contact: Did I make the killing blow? If yes: Make a follow-up If no: Then you don't get to follow-up...

I don't see why not. Frankly, I think you can land a stikk on top of the barricade with just the -1, but once you go to the other side, then cover applies. It's not a perfect system, since the -1 from cover of a unit is the same as the -1 from targetting the ground, but template weapons are...

"Sensible use" doesn't belong in gorkamorka. ;) I caught the earlier context, but because this programming language and there's no room for grey answers, I was posing the argument/option that the rules already account for this, depending on how literal you want to get. The rules that...

Yes, apologies. Looking back, I completely misread that.

I would agree with this, with some nuance. You have to be able to see your target, but you can still shift the grenade a bit to try to encompass an additional target. OR, go strictly by the book: You HAVE to see your target. If you want to be able to target the ground, you must have LOS to...

I respectfully disagree with this, simply because we're playing Gorkamorka and not Bolt Action or some other game that requires a level of reality. Remember, this is the game where you can cheat your throw range by targeting the ground, then miss, then have the stikkbomb deviate further than...

If I remember correctly, this was the intent of the original 40k in 2nd edition. You can always target any spot you want in the ground, and if someone happens to be in the blast radius, so be it. Just don't forget the -1 to hit when targeting the ground, and not a warrior.

Personally, I play pretty fast and loose with this part as it often doesn't really matter. If I was being very nitpicky, I would say that you can move through your friendly unit, since technically they all move at the same time. This creates an exception for things like Overwatch, where the...

Sorry, I stepped away from this and got busy in RL. I agree that this is a solid suggestion of rolling a D6, rolling your damage die, and choosing the higher of the two. For smaller damage weapons that do 1d3 dmg, for example, this doesn't help you roll 4-6, but it does help bring up the...

On a sidenote: From a gameplay perspective, I think you guys were really smart to make the Eavy Shoota -2 at long instead of -1. I think the Eavy Shoota is balanced the way it is for the cost. I have a few ideas for the Rokkit: Make the Damage D3 or D3+1, have it apply after penetration...

So how did you play Flame? When I read GCE, because rolling damage is mentioned in the Determine Location section, it reads to me like that's when you should be rolling the damage of the Rokkit. and then determining the location for each point of damage. (please correct me if I'm wrong or you...

Here's how I look at it. Cost of the Weapon vs Damage vs amount of xp gained. Eavy Shoota is the gold standard. It's 15 teef, grants a lot of XP and does good damage. The Rokkit is 13 teef, grants much less XP but does incredible damage (especially with damage rolls applied) If you roll...

The thing to take into account here is Ammo rolls are taken more on the Eavy Shoota And if you roll once to penetrate once, vs multiple times. Simply because the XP rewards are different. It could be 5xp or 30xp for a rokkit that hits.

Actually, this brings me to my next question, then, so I understand the intention: So I am crystal clear on the order of things: Eavy Shoota Rolls 2 Sustained fire dice rolls to hit for each shot, (has a higher chance to jam and make ammo rolls) Rolls for the location for each successful hit...

New question: Rokkits and their damage on vehicles In the original GorkaMorka rulebook it states: Important Note. Weapon hits only ever inflict a single point of damage to a vehicle, regardless of the number of wounds they can inflict on a warrior. In the GCE rules, it's unclear how a damage...

yah it’s not a perfect system but unspent teef can’t go to the mine and get more for you. While boyz who don’t go into battle can. Unused shootas are just there to tease the grots who ain’t allowed to touch ma boomstick!!

I agree with your hashed out assesment: it doesn't matter where the vehicle or warrior is. If they are part of your mob, they count towards the total. . Even if you were supposed to remove them and put them back, I wouldn't. Players are bad at managing mob ratings, so the less they have to...

Good point on the boarding plank, i think for clarity, you could remove the reference under the boarding plank, or, actually, now that I've written what I have below, you can likely keep it as an example. Core Rule Book: Vehicles usually have the option of Gubbinz. If you’ve not spent much...

Yah, I was fairly certain that's the intent, but I was starting to doubt, after I had read the original rules of GorkaMorka and they don't have the quadrants for gubbinz.
