A Couple Of DFA Questions
« on: 20 May 2016, 04:12:33 »
1) What happens if you take 20 or more damage in the Weapon Attack Phase and FAIL the PSA? I'd imagine that there would be a chance of not completing the DFA, but otherwise.

2) OK until you complete a DFA you're considered airborne, one level above the underlying terrain in a hex adjutant to your target, does this mean that people attacking you get flak attack bonuses?

1) Failing a PSR in the weapons attack phase means your DFA attack automatically misses (TW pg 149)

2) You're considered jumping, which is not the same as airborne (the exact wording is that you are considered "standing" above the terrain)

Failed PS roll by the attacker mean it crashed in the hex in front of target.  a 2 level drop to the targets  hex level more if he on a Cliff
