More Whacky RAW Rules

This has got to stop soon. Gav with his RAW and refusing to answer some basic questions with a little logic instead of RAW, RAW, RAW, is making things into a rule lawyer night mare.

First we have Plague Censor Bearers killing themselves to win combat.

Second with have Beast Herds who always got a rank bonus before when they lined up, all of the sudden forgot how and now rarely get a rank bonus.

Then we have Wood Elf Nobles refusing challenges but keeping the unit stubborn because they are still "joined" to the unit.

Now we have Skaven getting a free pass on panic checks.

The rule for skaven slaves says All other Skaven non-slave units who are forced to make a panic test from slaves auto-pass it.

This is much different than saying they are immune to panic caused by slaves, or no test is taken. The test is taken, they just auto-pass it no matter what they roll.

In 6th ed, this had no affect because all panic tests were taken at the same time at the end of each phase. But now with the roll panic tests immediately, this could play a big roll.

So here is the situation:

XXXX..........YYYYYY
AAAA..CCCC. SSSSS

The enemy units of X and Y are facing clanrats (A) and Slaves (S).
C is an extra clanrat unit. If I have the slave combat go first, the slaves lose and break. The clanrats (C) auto-pass their panic test. Now the 2nd combat takes place, the Clanrats (A) lose and break. But the Clanrats (C) are now immune to the panic as they have already tested for panic this phase.

Cheese to the max boys.

Come on Gav step up to the plate and start fixing some of the problems.

Good luck!!
