Blog Entries: 2 |  Rapid Fire? Kinda a noob Question but i was rereading the rules on rapid fire and as everyone knows they state a model can fire twice up to 12 inchs but can't assualt or once up to max range if remaining stationary. does that mean space marines can move up to 6 inchs and shoot twice or am i just confused?

 | Re: Rapid Fire? nope you are correct! If you stay staionary you can shoot once at max range (24" for most, but 30" for Tau) OR you can shoot twice at 12" (reguardless of Who you are all 'double tapping as it is called is done at 12" range) If you move you can Shoot twice with a 12" range and not assault OR you can move, not shoot anything, and then assualt your choice.

| Re: Rapid Fire? Yeah don't worry about that my friend, I just started playing again after a 2 year absence from the game and my group that I just started playing with wasn't using the Rapid Fire rules correctly, they didn't know about the Instant Death rule, how ordinance works, etc. etc. This is a big complicated game and if you don't play in the tournament scene then you don't learn the rules to a 'T'. The most important thing to do is have fun no matter what rules you are playing with or how badly the dice gods are being to you. Just have fun! Servo |

| Re: Rapid Fire? Just when you feel that you are very comfortable with all of the rules and games start to move quick and smooth, a new edition comes out. I try and make sure that I know the rules of the game as best I can, so it makes it easier when creating an army list you can utilize your specialized rules from your codex.

Okay, rule book says you can remain stationary and fire twice with a pistol. If you do this, you can't assault. Otherwise you can move and shoot once up to 12" and still assault. p29 At least that's how I understand it. | |

| Re: Rapid Fire? J is correct. You can shoot once and still assault, or if you remained stationary you can shoot twice, but loose the ability to assault. By the Way J that is an awsome avitar pic! Servo |
