ok, from WARLORD THEMSELVES

a tank can fire through a unit as long as the barrel is 1 inch above the heads of the model

Just got an email

Tanks can fire their cannon/turret weapons so long as there is a 1 inch gap above the infantry’s heads
Kind Regards,

Rule never state that.
sorry. can’t comply.

I don’t even play this game. I dislike it FAR too much. I’m just here to point out the horrible way the rules are written and learn it for some people that want to play it. But that’s besides the point.

Going by the rules AND YOUR RESPONSES AND EMAILS… tanks can shoot over models if they are prone (or in my case standing on their head)

Which makes sense in reality anyway.

LINE OF SIGHT
As described above, when firing a gun imagine you are looking through the sights of the gunner firing it.
Try to look as closely as possible along the barrel of the gun itself.

the shot is not
permitted if it would pass through or within 1” of a model from a different friendly unit. In such cases the
friends are too close to the line of fire. Note that this applies vertically as well, as shown in Diagram 4B.

So it goes by the MODEL (outstandingly stupid rule). Just use small models or mount them weird. Or mount on scenic bases to gain height.

Thus you can make the 1″ gap.

[J]

No but you can shoot over.

I don’t see the p96 thing he’s talking about above BUT

diagram 4b states you need one inch OVER THE TOP OF THE MODEL’S HEAD.

so you mound the model PRONE

then you look for LOS FROM THE BARREL OF THE GUN

as long as that barrel is 1nch over the HEAD of the model

bam. shoot over it.

[J]

Ok. So to be clear by these rules as written.

A tank shot is worked out by the barrel and to shoot over a model your go from the top of the model’s head like on page 50 i think.

So a tank can shoot through a unit of infantry if the model is mounted prone.

Excellent.

Thank you and I am now done with these forums.

Also if you mount your troops on their head, like I plan to, you get even more clearance to fire over them. AS PER THE RULES.

[J]

What about for tanks and such? Where do you draw LOS?

[J]

Where do you look or gauge or measure on a unit/figure that is shooting to see if it has LOS down a hill like in diagram 4b?

If my figure is mounted on it’s head, because I’m exploiting this rule, I need to know where to “view” from.

“Figures are considered standing for shooting”

Is it the barrel?
Where do you see from?
If my mini is smaller than your mini then what is considered “standing for shooting” height?

[J]

Then how do you measure the distance? If all my models are prone?

What you said doesn’t make any sense.

[J]

I want the 1 inch over the top of a figure’s head rule changed to “Two inches from the base”. Never go by a figure. It’s stupid. See attached images.
