Sidearms and other range weapons in CC

[micmellon]

How does it work with sidearms in CC? Do I have to use the RC or the CC value of the figure?

The same with real RC-Weapons?

It's In da rules...  but it is essentially the following:


SIDEARM class weapons may be used in CC and their normal damage value is allowed- for example, Joe Grunt of the Cap Light Infantry gets charged by a Karnophage  and lives through it.  On his turn he can choose to use his Pistol (using his CC score) to pistol-whip (dmg 4) or shoot (dmg 8 ).  The score to hit for shooting him is teh CC score.

That 'splain it?

Relevant sections of the rules are section 8.7.5 (Close Combat and Ranged Combat), 19.1.3 (Weapon Damage)  and 21.1 (Sidearms)
