(Answered) Linked weapons and aimed shots
« on: 13 December 2020, 11:36:41 »
TO p.85 describes linking weapons, enabling a single to-hit roll for the linked group. If you use such a group to make an aimed shot (Total Warfare p.110), and your attack is successful, do you make the extra roll to check if the aimed shot works only once (since there's only one attack), or do you have to make it for every weapon separately?

You still have to roll locations for every weapon when using Linked weapons; they don't all hit the same place.

"Hit location is determined normally for each individual weapon in the linked group."
