    Alternate activations seem so much more balanced and immersive. Always hated the I go you go mechanics in games…it places too much emphasis on who goes first and if your opponent has a great first turn and wipes out some key units before you even get a chance them… just makes it un-fun and unrealistic. My army isn’t just going to sit there in a real battle and let the enemy shoot them while they think about what to do when it’s their turn.

    12:32 - NOTE: Before determining the location damaged on the Critical Hit Table, you do need to roll 2d6 on the "Determining Critical Hit Location" table, in order to determine if the critical hit goes through. If less than an 8 is rolled, no critical hit is scored. Apologies for the confusion! 😅

  • @ZackHeise
    @ZackHeise 2 місяці тому

    I believe you should still roll on Determining Critical Hits table after rolling that snake eyes. It's not an automatic crit, just a chance at it. The bullet punched through but still need to see if it hit anything.

    • @jochenwenzel8878
      @jochenwenzel8878 2 місяці тому

      Yeah, you need to roll as usual to determine a crit. Snake eyes are a potential critical hit and not automatic.

    • @EmptyWallets
      @EmptyWallets 2 місяці тому

      Good catch! We decided to keep things simple, but could understand why that is confusing! Yes you are supposed to roll on the "Determining Critical Hits" table before determining critical hit location even when rolling snake eyes on a hit location. We will pin a comment to make things clearer. Thank you so much for the feedback!

      Battle tomes are where you find all the war scrolls for your army, core book has rule and lore, and GBH has rules and seasonal stuff! BUT all of that has changed with 4.0. Generally the same for the Core-book and the GHB, but you can for now get your army pdfs from Warhammer for free until the new books come out. (Not sure how they are going to do the books going forward, but we will see.)
