Solitair question about number of attacks
« on: June 26, 2003, 03:49:08 AM »
I have a question about the solitair. When he charges he gets a 12" assault move and any he doesn't use become +1A up to +6A so if he moves 12" on the assault does he get +0A?

Also remember that you can't get +12 attacks for charging 0", thought I should mention it...

And Gripen, he doesn't get his basic attacks, he still gets +1 for Powerblades/2 CCWs, although that is probably self explanatory.

he gets +1 attack as with any normal assault unit
so charging 12'' or 11'' is just +1 attack

I don't have the rules before me, but I seem to recall that they get the new "+1/" of unused charge" INSTEAD of +1 when charging. Look it up.

It states that instead of +1, you get +1 for each unused inch of charge space.  Therefore, 12"=+0 attacks

Thanks I was reading it that you got +0" if you moved 12". Thanks for clarifying

In the new assault rules (not that I know anynone who uses them) it say that if you shoot a ranged weapon then charge you do not get the +1A for charging.

Would that totally screw up the solitairs charge if he shot off some bio-ammo then charged in?
Give a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

yes, this is why you don't shoot with him.

Which is why you don't give him bio ammo, or even a pistol for that matter (just ccws of your choice and power blades).

Hey! I know!  Let's focus on building army lists, instead of silly custom titles and command structures, yeah?

I'm both proud and ashamed of those numbers...

A pistol is good to give to him anyway because it can be more useful than a CCW and is the same cost but more flexible.

This is especially true since the list in CJ 39 does not allow you to get a cc-weapon for him, only special weapons. So, if you are investing in a second weapon to up attacks, the 1pt pistol is pretty sweet.

he can then add another 2 for two handweapons and powerblades. The stat goes to ten as a maximum, but the actualy number goes up to 12.

So then if he has base 6, as Rasmus said from three weapons, then he gets +6 to 12 attacks.

three weapons? Don't you mean powerblades + 2 CCW?

Yes, that is what he means. Weapo+weapo+bowerlbades= 3 weapons, sort of.
