Redmanphill Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Lets take it as given for the purpose of this discussion that we measure base to base. So a model occupies the entirety of the base. I line up my guys and charge and leave no gaps between the models making up the front line. The second line of troops either A) in the same unit or b) in a different unit can or can't attack assuming they have the reach to do so? I can't attack through a model right? That wozuld seem to be a hang up of eighth edition and the rulebooklet doesn't clarify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftmus Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm pretty sure you can attack through the models, as long as the 2nd 'rank' is in range. I'd need to look at the rules but doesn't it pretty much just say if your melee weapon is in range of an enemy you can attack? If you're lined up against one enemy unit and a different enemy unit is 'ranked' up behind them, your own unit could choose to attack either as long as their weapons are in range. At least that's how I gather it all works, haven't played many games myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedge Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 If your weapon is in range you can attack. It's as simple as that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldoBeardo Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The crucial bit of the rules; Attacking->Picking Targets. You have to be in range, and you have to have LOS. Members of your own unit are ignored for the purposes of obstructing LOS. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even enemy models would have to completely block line of sight to stop you attacking through them. I can think of anything that'd do that, even in two ranks there'd always be gaps you could see through.

Ollie Grimwood Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 You can attack any visible models within range and models can see through other models in the same unit. Also note it says models not bases, just saying and it ain't 8th anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
