The problem with the RAW is they forgot to re-state that mounted fighters can be seriously injured on the mounted rules on page 70. But surely most players would probably surmise that mounted fighters are covered by that condition, given they shoot and fight like other fighters with some modifications as per the page 70 mounted rules. Mounted fighters still get Seriously Injured and bleed out like other fighters – is anyone seriously playing them without this?
The reason I mentined it in this thread and not as one of it's own is that this is the "Collected Errors/Typos" thread. I doubt anyone is playing it that way but my understanding was that this was place to mention where RAW falls down and/or rules conflict.
I am aware that mounts are wragear for fighters and follow the rules for fighters with the exceptions listed for the Mounted condition. Now, is there anywhere in the rules that states the
only way a fighter can switch from Prone and Seriously Injured to Prone and Pinned is through rolling a Flesh Wound during their Recovery Check in the End Phase? If not, why does the statement
"After this hit has been resolved, the fighter changes their status to Prone and Pinned." not apply to a Seriously Injured fighter? For comparison, the wording used in Recovery Tests is
"If the result is a Flesh Wound, the fighter suffers a Flesh Wound and becomes Prone and Pinned.". To me, both of those are similarly straight forward instructions. I don't think that's the way it should be but, again, that's why I'm bringing it up in a list of errors.
Normal fighters that are Seriously Injured won't switch to Pinned because the standard rules for shooting only make Standing and Active fighters change to Prone and Pinned, and that takes effect before resolving the hit. This is a quirk specific to the "I Get Knocked Down..." wording and sequencing which allows for a Mounted fighter to take damage and then change to pinned
afterwards, and it only applies to the damage from the additional hit they take for being Knocked Down as the initial hit from their attacker has yet to be resolved. The sequencing is where I think they have made an error.
The additional rules regarding Mounted fighters and Standing Up are not relevant to my point.
