It is my understanding that for assault guns line of sight is taken from the front of the vehicle where the gun and front of the hull meet.

I understand assault guns LOS, but for turret tanks there are two different methods for measuring LOS mentioned in the rulebook. If you measure from where the gun comes out, wouldn't you have to turn the turret and aim first?

I always assumed center of one turret to the center of the other. Really, the turret is only a few Millimeters wide, it's not going to change things much to get out the laser pointer.

Remember, this is a beer and pretzels game, not a simulation...

this is were i dont like rules for tanks its complicated and could have been made simple line of sight for cover and shooting are both drawn from center of turret (assualt gun use the rules they are fine how they are) cause from center no matter what it wull be the same wether u have your turret pointed at the target or not it wil be the same line even then. but with how it is now u can get away with things like this and its perfectly fine in the rules.



yes this dose seem weird and wrong but its allowed within the rules nothing in the book says u have to turn your turret to face who u are shooting. are group has house ruled all line of sight and cover are from center turret.

even reading the rules again cover is drawn from any were on the turret so u could measure from the side of the turret like this



nothing in the rules is saying u cant do this the rules even say u are allowed to do both of these first is just says from were the gun connects to the turret and second for the cover it just says from the turret. thats it so both of these line of sight and line of cover drawings are allowed within the rules we have now

i hope when a faq/errata come out that ling of sight for firing and cover are both changed to center of turret.




also dont mind my old pizza box all i had around me at the time of typing this up :P

The real question is; what kind of Pizza .
Gives me a great idea.
Pizza & Tanks night.
Should probably throw in a few orders of wings. Although now I am worried about grease on my tanks.

Just house rule it. Come to an agreement with whomever you're playing against as to any rules you wish to change. As long as you both agree, play the house rule.

But page 12 contradicts page 9. On page 12 LOS is drawn from center of turret and not rotated.

Since the turret rotates around a central axis, drawing from the center and from where the gun attached (when the turret is turned) amounts to the same thing, at least until we have some asymmetric turrets.

if its just from were the gun is attached the my pic 1 of the post earlier is a way u can draw line of fire. but if its from center no matter what it will be basically like turning your turret at the target weather u do it or not. thats why i say from center cause it stop shenanigans like in my first pic

and not even adda a rule its not that larger of a errata to change from gun mounted to center of turret for the rules.
