What if in the same action the gunner shoots first and THEN the driver moves? Does the gunner get a +3 to shoot because the vehicle isn't technically moving yet? That would be another loophole interpretation on not intended by the rules.
My interpretation of this is, if your intent is to move after shooting, you must state so BEFORE rolling dice. even if the results of the shooting change your mind, either in direction of the move, or to move at all, if you want the option of moving after shooting, you dont get the bonus.
sidebar time!
an interesting thought i just had (and, yes, i had to call the fire department to clear the smoke):
you are allowed to move and shoot in the same action. thus, you can move 1", shoot, and then continue to move. EDD, at medium range, gets +3(x2). If there are targets at 25", 26", and 27", can he move 1", fire 1 of his 3 bullets, move 1" more, fire another bullet, move 1" more, and fire the last? Obviously, if the targets were straight ahead, one would just move straight 3" and lay waste. but, if there is only 24" visibility, and you didnt want targets coming off of wait, or not have to move to shoot when activating, there is a tactical advantage. also, if the targets are behind various cover, and you can only get a line at one at a time, not all 3 at the same instant, it would be advantageous to shoot a bullet, move, shoot the next, move, and shoot the last. ideas? thoughts? am i a looney bird who hasnt gotten enough sleep?
