generalripphook Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Can a heavy tank go cruising speed? I can't remember if they can only go 6 inches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hello there, I believe that the fastest that a heavy vehicle can move is "combat speed" / 6 inches. Stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 That is correct, but, hilariously, super heavy vehicles have no such restriction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 okay well under the apocalypse formation deal host it it says that if all the tanks perform itank shock on a unit they roll on the the Thunder blitz table but how can you tank shock if you can't go over combat speed?

Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Can a heavy tank go cruising speed? I can't remember if they can only go 6 inches Heavy tank 6" combat speed only. Can't move flat out. That is correct, but, hilariously, super heavy vehicles have no such restriction. Super heavy tank is a 12" combat speed. Can't move flat out either.

fluger Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Super heavy tank is a 12" combat speed. Can't move flat out either. OK, yes, that is more accurate. I guess my point was that it can move 12" rather than just 6" even though it is much heavier. Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 slowly. But they turn it up to 11!Leman Russ with dozer blade rams at strength 11. Sure it only counts as 10 but, as everyone knows, "ours go to eleven!". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense. I think the idea with the super heavy models is that some are too large to be able to enter from reserves without a 12" move. I think it's more about game mechanics and less about fluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 The tank shock rule says you can't tank shock when going combat speed....but a heavy tank can't go faster than combat speed.....so what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Not sure where you're reading that. And I quote: To perform a Tank Shock, first, turn the vehicle on the spot to face the direction you intend to move it and, after pre-measuring, declare how many inches the vehicle is going to move, up to it's maximum speed. The vehicle must move at least Combat Speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Oh at least combat speed.....oops that's my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 You're far from the first to make that mistake. It's a really easy misreading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
