Bikes in Judge Dredd

[Da Boss]

There still seem to be some outstanding issues with the bike rules- be good if these can be cleared up before the weekend tourney

Ramming:

1. Can a Judge on a bike "ram" a figure without making an arrest?
"A judge may not make a melee or shooting attack against any model unless it has
successfully resisted arrest by passing the Will check or has already made a melee or
shooting attack itself."
Raming merely takes place as part of a Move Action but it would seem right to have to make an Arrest attempt before you run people over?

2. How many "Ram" attacks can a bike make in a single Move action - as at present it can make unlimited turns which means technically it can keep making raming attacks as it only has to move onto the model. Even if the model dodges one, the bike can simply move back onto the model and keep doing it?

It would seem a good idea to have it work the same as the Charge rules?
"You must move at least 3” in a straight line in between each Ramming attempt"

This was resolved in the latest Block war update - you can only ram any model once per turn.

A further bike question.

If an attacker fires a weapon with multiple shooting dice at a bke, is each separate dice randomised between the bike and the rider, or do all dice go against one or the other.

I think I would randomise them all - after all, you are spraying the target with fire...
