So I was teaching a friend E:A this weekend and he asked me something I didn't know the answer to.

Can Infantry use their CC or FF value to damage Armoured Vehicles if they only have Small Arms, and no AT or MW value?

Yes they can.


Simple, that one. :)

But only during an engage/assault...

That's the only time you use CC/FF values... represents grenades, short range weapons, and other things not represented in the actual weapon notes.

That was what I thought, but my opponent wasn't sure about it.  He questioned how they could get a better value and take out the tank if they couldn't do it from Range.

Think about Khorne Berzerkers, pretty useless at range, deadly against almost anything in CC, especially if there's a power fist in there somewhere.

Or a Combat Squad with a plasmagun, not much cop at long range, but get close enough and shoot the side armour and it has a pretty good chance of knocking out a tank.

That's what CC and FF values represent, the abstract possibility of the squad getting into a good position and making the most of what they have.

Infantry will also be carrying things like krak grenades, melta bombs, meltaguns, etc, which are all too short-ranged and fiddly to deal with in Epic, but are why infantry can hurt tanks even if they look like they're only carrying lasguns!

From a real-life perspective, tanks are pretty vulnerable to infantry if they get in close enough, especially in WWII-era battles which seem to be the primary inspiration for GW. Even small arms are pretty nasty if fired through vision slits, etc.

If only. I'm thinking Fire Dragons, Wraithguard, Stormtroopers, Skorchas, et al. There's plenty of units that it could be argued should not have a ranged attack.

For at least these two units, it's because *all* the members of the squad are carrying the same, deadly, weapon; unlike a Marine or IG squad where only one in ten usually has a "special" weapon.
