Special Rules
Overflow
For each successful hit (Attack), place a 3 inch blast template partially over a model in range. Overflow uses the template only to determine which models are affected; it does not use the Explosive rule.
How Overflow works
For each successful hit (Attack), place a 3 inch blast template partially over a model in range. Overflow uses the template only to determine which models are affected; it does not use the Explosive rule.
- All models even partially under the template are eligible models for that attack. This overrides Target Limit and closest-model allocation for those template-affected models.
- If the attack fails to hit, roll damage dice equal to this unit's Resolve as damage against this unit, or Shield if it is a vehicle.
> Example: A weapon with Overflow and Att 3 scores 2 successful hits. Place 2 separate 3 inch blast templates, each partially over a model in range. All models under each template are considered affected by that attack.
