    Hello,

    I just wanted to clarify that the “Heavy Rocket Launcher” in V2 fires 4” template.

    Rule- “Fires HE (3D6) rockets rather than the usual HE (2D6) rockets. However, to represent the fact that it is so slow to reload, when it fires it immediately suffers D3 pin markers. It must then be given a successful Rally order to reload it before it can be ordered to Fire again.”

    Thank you
    Simon

    Correct, to convert first edition xDx HE notations to template sizes, you use the “Hits vs targets in buildings” column of the second edition HE chart. See p70, Weapons, Weapon Special Rules, HE (High Explosive), para immediately following the HE chart for confirmation.

    I have another question. When it says “it must then be given a successful Rally order to reload it before it can be ordered to Fire again.” Does this mean you have to use an order dice to rally, then wait unit the next turn to place it on fire, or does it mean you if you successfully rally you may also fire on the same turn?

    Rallying uses the order for that turn – you can’t fire on a rally order. Once you have successfully given a rally order, it can be ordered to fire in a future turn.

    That is what I thought. Thank you.
