HQ and exceptional damage

[Tim Harris]

It’s been a while since I’ve played a game of Bolt Action, only ever played 5 games and that was First Edition.

If your Officer takes exceptional damage, do you then remove the whole HQ squad as per a gun team, as the primary reason for the HQ being on the table has been remove, much in the same way as an MMG, HMG, Mortar, Sniper, Anti Tank Rifle or Flamethrower, which if exceptional damage is chosen as the “firer” of the weapon, the whole team is removed and it’s dice is removed from the bag.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Tim

no, the exceptional damage allows you to choose your target on a support team it is the weapon that is destroyed so the unit is removed but on a HQ if the officer is killed his men stay on the table but with -1 morale as if you had lost an NCO
