BF:Evo Advanced rulebook clarifications please

[lastbesthope]

Hi there, just a few clarifications on the rulebook.
Please, evryone, official Mongoose answers OR direct referenced quotes from the rulebook for answers only please. NO conjectures or opinions from non Mongoose personnel please. I'm looking for a definitibve answer.

Thank you.


1) Grenades (p. 25) OK, you have to be within 6" of a building to use them, and they create a 3" Fire Zone, but how far from the throwing unit can you place the fire zone?

2) Attacking structures (P.25) If a Challenger shoots it's main gun at an enemy unit in a structure, does the d10+4 get allocated tot he building, or just one of the additional 'splash damage' dice after it impacts the poor sod inside the building?

3) Any answers to the imbalanced scenario concerns in ROling Thunder in the upcoming tournament, being discussed here:

1. You got the same rule book as I. "As written" It would be as long as a unit is either in the building or within 6" of said building the 3" FZ is created anywhere within the building ie. within LOS of at least one enemy model (I say that because it state you "create a FZ as per normal"). That said, I would like to see a clarification on if this: Is the FZ created only on the same level as the models creating the FZ or not?

2. This one is clear in the Rulebook. You either target the structure or the building. If you target the building, no damage dice are allocated to the models in it. IF you target the models then one of the splash damage must be allocated to the building. The main gun will be allocated to the troops. Re-read page 25, second paragraph. Note is uses the wording "must allocate at least one of those dice to the structure......", refering to bonus damage dice or otherwise.

TOS, I read the same as you on 2, and while the implication for 1) is that the FZ is in the building, it really should specify where in the building you can put it, some of the buidings at Mongoose HQ are more than big enough to fit multiple non overlapping grenade FZs inside, and can you put the FZ on any floor or just the ground floor?

Matthew has confirmed that the FZ must be placed within the building.
