why can't Cleave work like Descent's Sweep???

By topacesteve, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

Ι can't understand why i should score 1 hit to a target in order to cleave a 2nd target...if the 1st ducks the swipe of my weapon, the 2nd may by hit... nevertheless.

The same system in Descent 2nd goes like this...i make the Sweep, i roll attack die and every eligible target for the attack rolls their own defense die...and everybody can

be hit regardless if another figure is hit first...

Not to mention that Sweep is absent from IA...it targets more than 1 eligible targets... (2,3,4, e.t.c)

If target doesn't duck, but parries / blocks the attack, what do you expect to happen then?

yes thats a problem....he he ...and to be frank..in Descent Sweep is for Large monsters , Giants etc....which their hammers are difficult to block
