T47 Harpoon Impact? and Wedges pivot mid pool generation to shoot ?

By Dicetales, in Rules

1) T47 the harpoon has impact 1.. but not of the the armour text other impact 1 cards have.... does impact just affect Armour? or am i confusing 2 things,..?

2) Can Wedge Arsenal shoot his front gun.. pivot shoot his back gun at same target ... 1 pool?

1. Just armour. Impact 1 allows you to turn one hit into a crit vs armor.

2. No, because that would be 3 actions. Wedge's special pivot allows him to pivot 360 degrees, but it still takes an action to pivot.

This is kind of a misleading statement.

Arsenal doesn't grant you an additional attack, it simply allows you to fire more than one weapon when you make your attack. (As attacking normally limits each model to using one of its equipped weapons when it declares attacks). The reason you can't nest Wedge's special pivot is that it can't interrupt the current action (the attack action).

It's not misleading, it's just that it only states 1 of the reasons it's not allowed, thus answering the question.

Arsenal 2 allows you to fire both weapons at the same attack action . You can't split these two attacks with an action in between , even a free action.

Moving onto the full pivot free action. This does not allow you a free pivot. When you trigger it as a free action for the remainder of your turn whenever you pivot you can face any direction instead of 90 left or right. So free action - trigger ability 1st action pivot in any direction 2nd action attack with 2 weapons one to a target in your front arc, and one in your rear arc. Since those arcs are mutually exclusive you could never have a target in both, its always going to be two different targets but the ability is definitely going to help with placement ensuring that you can have whatever facing you need to help with having two targets to hit, allowing for more creative attack vectors.
