Hey guys, my group just picked up Only War to try out the FF 40k series and are just in the process of doing small play test and messing with the rules before our big play test in a week.
That being said, had a question in regards to TB and Semi/Full Auto shots:
Semi auto shots generate an additional hit per 2 DoS up to the number in the profile and full auto generate an additional hit per 1 DoS up to the number in the profile.
Are these hits generated, resolved just like a normal hit ie. say the attack does 1D10, and the semi auto generates 3 hits. The first one hits the chest for 1D10, the second hits the chest for 1D10, the third hits the arm for 1D10. Does each hit get reduced by AP/TB then damage applied?
Or do you stack it out at 3D10, then apply AP/TB?
Or Do you stack the two that hit the chest, but not the arm?
The question came up because the PCs are fighting Orks in our test campaign and they have true grit, giving them extreme durability once they hit 0 wounds. So the thought was jam more rounds into them, and several of the players assumed 3 x hits = 3D10. Reading the rules, it seems to me, it goes out of the way to explain that it generates additional hits, which would seem to me to mean AP/TB soaks each hit, especially given armor varies based on zone hit.
Just curious if anyone out there is able to clarify this for us. We really appreciate it. So far looks like a decent system. Can't wait to get into our full test campaign next week.
