steel rain reload question

By scott242, in Dust Warfare

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, but the forum search function seems to be broken on me atm..Can't seem to find anything conclusive in the rulebook either.

Can the Steel Rain fire both the Petard Mortar and the 4.2" Rockets in a single indirect artillery strike action? What about reloading for units like this with multiple reloadable weapons…would that be one action or two to reload both?

Yes, it can fire both indirectly at once, but the Petard Mortar doesn't have unlimited range, so you'd have to make sure it's in range.

It would only be one action to reload, although even if you only use one of the 2 weapons, you put an out-of-ammo marker on your walker, and can't use either until you reload.

Do the (4) 4.2" rockets fire all at once doing 20/1 damage, or is it 4 separate shots at 5/1 damage, or is it one-shot at 5/1?

One shot ata time at 5/1

The fluff in the description is a hold over from Dust Tactics where each rocket was treated as an individual weapon. In Warfare the 4.2 Rocket System is a reload weapon.
