Hello All

I wonder if you can clarify the issue of cover/to hit modifiers etc in an assault.

I think I saw somewhere something about the FF or CC values never get modified in an assault?

Also someone said that a formation that is being assaulted while in cover gets the terrain cover save if they wish, but the assaulting formation does not?

What happens when the assault goes into the second round where both the assaulter and assaulted are in cover. Does anyone get the benefit of cover saves in this instance?

Thanks

I can confidently state that both of your first points are correct.

I BELIEVE that if second round continues then the defenders only still get cover saves. Wait for someone with more authority than me though!

You are correct that

1. The FF and CC values are never modified.
2. In any round of assault, the DEFENDER may choose to use the cover save for any infantry unit, provided that it is "in cover" after all countercharges have taken place.
   This does *not* apply to vehicles or attacking infantry, even if they find themselves "in cover" after movement or in the 2nd and subsequent rounds of assault.
   (The argument being that to close with their opponents, attacking infantry must leave whatever cover they may actually be in.)

Ginger and MoK are correct, except that if you had a defending vehicle in a position to get a cover save, like a gun emplacement, it would receive its cover save.

Thanks guys.

Regarding the to-hit modifier (or no modifier ever on assault)...

recently I played a game where my opponent had some harlequins and there was a single harlequin which apparently always gets a -1 to hit modifier. Would this modifier only be applicable to being shot at and not assault. We played the to hit was modified.
