Assault Vehicle

I don't know if I'm reading too much into this, but can everyone just take a look at the last part of the 'Assault Vehicle' entry?

"... even on a turn that the vehicle was destroyed."

Does this imply that... you cannot assault after a vehicle is destroyed, unless you have an Assault Vehicle special rule?

That is a good point! I think it does imply exactly that. So this kills the discussion in the other thread about how wierd it is that SM can still charge out of destroyed Rhinos ...

i think it applies to those transport vehicle get wrecked on the turn it moves la.
e.g...
- skimmer moving flat out and failed dangerous terrain test.
- transport ramming an enemy vehicle and wrecked itself in the process.

yup.. agree with Joe. That is how I understand it from the very 1st time I read it.

There's no way you can charge in enemy turn. So the only thing that make sense with the phrase is if in your turn, your Assault Vehicle performs Tank Shock --> Destroyed (by Death or Glory or any other causes). In this case, you can now assault.

So in conclusion, yes Dann.. I think you've been reading too much into it

this is the logic i'm contending with is that moving flat out and tank shocking does not allow transported units to disembark, thus unable to assault.

so if what you say is true, basically what this means is:
if a Stormraven opts to 'hover' and moves flat out into enemy lines, gets immobilized, the transported unit gets to charge?

similarly, a land raider tank shocks/rams an enemy unit, gets wrecked/destroyed, the transported unit gets to charge?

As per RAW, yes they can as long it is an assault vehicle.

If just immobilised --> cannot assault as the unit is still in the vehicle.
But if destroyed/wrecked --> yes can

haha.. last time in 5th ed. Orks in a Trukk if ram an enemy vehicle and get wrecked, cannot assault the following assault phase. Now we can!

actually i think you still can't... cuz a trukk is open-topped - not an 'assault vehicle'

the rule book says that open topped vehicles are assault vehicle.

Yup.. Open-topped = assault vehicles. Same as DE. Though now passengers suffer S4 hits when destroyed instead of S3. Last night my DPrince destroyed a Raider full of Wyches. 7 dead from the explosion just like that. Ouch!!

yup, that's why i'm moving my Orks out of the battlewagons.
against Dann, when he pop 1 battlewagon with 20 boys, easily dealt 9-10 wounds.

battlewagons are now only good for Nobs or Meganobs.
