We'll find out either way soon enough.Demitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17364098865244177181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971457096513194140.post-22345629888174645422010-06-27T17:33:56.902-04:002010-06-27T17:33:56.902-04:00It's pretty clear to me that the DF is in addi...It's pretty clear to me that the DF is in addition to normal crew-based DF, not in addition to any other shooting it wishes to do.

Maybe the turret just gives you extra dice when you use DF? Or maybe it's for shooting multiple flying targets or something.<br /><br />As for calling a game, I was surprised you stuck out the US game. I didn't want to be a dick and say "Hey, you should cut your losses here." The Warmachine game I thought was close until the end, especially after I started blowing my own guys up. Granted losing DJ so early was a blow. Particulars aside, don't worry about spoiling a victory for me. I have plenty of time to bask and reflect and whatnot.Demitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17364098865244177181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971457096513194140.post-40481334537641775312010-06-24T20:21:52.246-04:002010-06-24T20:21:52.246-04:00By the way: the main reason I didn't fold on t...By the way: the main reason I didn't fold on the turn when I logically should have called it was because I was trying to be a good sport and finish out the game.<br /><br />Same with the Warmachine game before. Once my Bane Thralls crashed into your Winterguard and managed to miss every last attack, I knew the game was over. I still played it out to give you the satisfaction of actually winning instead of just blowing off your well earned victory.Etna's Vassalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971457096513194140.post-63876683876717618212010-06-24T16:02:46.920-04:002010-06-24T16:02:46.920-04:00Ha!I have the rules in my binder: Central Turret: ...Ha!I have the rules in my binder: Central Turret: this Turret has a 360 degree arc of fire that<br />can ONLY be used for Defensive Fire against Flying models<br />within Range Band 1.<br />Defensive Fire: this Flagship can use its Central Turret to<br />make an ADDITIONAL Defensive Fire (DF) attack against<br />flying models using its DF * rating and the normal rules.<br />It CANNOT use the Central Turret to attack other models.<br />This additional DF rating IS affected by damage to the hull<br />or crew losses.
