I'm sure that's a misunderstanding on your behalf. You and myself played at Heavy Bolter and that was NOT how it panned out. I can't speak for Castle Assault, but that is certainly not a local 'oz' rule.
3.2.1 Allocating Hits To War Engines -
Quote:
Special rules apply to war engines that are attacked by weapons that use templates (see 1.9.
. Normally these weapons attack each unit that falls under the template once each. However, due to its huge size if a war engine lies directly under the centre of a template, then it is subjected to a number of attacks equal to half its starting damage capacity, rounding fractions up. For example, a Baneblade (DC3) caught under the centre of a template would be attacked twice. You may wish to make sure that your barrage templates have a small hole in the centre so that you can see if a war engine suffers the full effect of the bombardment or is only attacked once.
Maybe your peeps play it differently, but the above is pretty clear. If people are suggesting what you've alluded to above pull then up! Not very cool if that's what you've been dealing with!
PS - War Engines rock!
