Rocket Launchers and Recce Units

[Mark Prichard]

If a rocket launcher targets a unit that recces away out of line of site, does the launcher still get to target all the other units within 6″ as normal?

The shot doesn’t happen until after the recce move is completed – if the target unit is still a valid target, the shot (including the radius for working out secondary targets) is resolved in the new location.  If the target unit isn’t a valid target (out of sight, out of maximum/minimum range etc) you’ve wasted your shot.

Better to target a non-recce unit and catch the recce vehicle in the splash – it’s not the declared target and only the declared target gets to react 😉
