Hidden unit point blank attack(s)
« on: 23 July 2024, 22:15:53 »
The Hidden Unit rules (TW p.259) and Hidden 'Mech rules (BMM p.82) have rules for point blank shots (plural in titles). However in the RAW, the term "special pointblank weapon attack" is used, which is singular.

BMM Version
Quote
A hidden ’Mech revealed by enemy movement may immediately
make a special point-blank weapon attack against the ’Mech that
revealed it. It may first torso twist, and uses a Range of 1. Ignore
Target Number modifiers for movement or terrain. Any damage
dealt and PSRs required take effect immediately. If the target ’Mech is
still capable of moving, has MP remaining, and isn’t jumping, it may
continue its move after the attack.
A ’Mech making a point-blank shot cannot perform any other
action for the remainder of that turn.

Could you please clarify whether this attack is limited to a single weapon, all available/applicable weapons, or some other set of weapons?
Also, may such attacks include secondary targets?
