FIRING ARCS for VEHICLES
« on: October 22, 2006, 02:51:44 PM »
Okay, I know that this has been discussed, before, but we really neeed some diagrams.

I still have all my 2nd Ed. books, and want to know if firing arcs have changed, since then.  There are some defined in UWZ, but, not all.

Vulkans are troopers - not vehicles.  Are their firing arcs just like other troopers'?

Does an EDD have a 180° firing arc for it's arm mounted weapons?

well, what I found in the book

-> vulcans = troopers = 180°
-> EDD = vehicle (faq) = 90°

I am not aware of any exeptions.. it there are more "official" rulings, then they are not in the net..

So, am I safe in assuming that all vecles have 90º arcs of fire, or do some (Strike Skimmer) have 180º?

Vermin definitely has a turret mounted gun - both in the description in Imperial book for MC, MC 1st edition artwork and UWZ artwork. Also, the actual Vermin model has turret-mounted HMG.
