Counter attack

By Mekolomus, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

Hi we are playing Rogue Trader with combat rules taken from Only War !

About counter attack

Does the person need to parry every hit from evemy (lets say 3 hits)

to get the "free" -20 attack

Or if he parries let say 2 hits can he still make that free attack ?


You should have posted this question in the Only War section of the forum. Personally, I'd allow it.

Shoud have been only war, but my gut feeling is "no," because in OW (and NOT in Rogue Trader) you make a single parry vs. a single multiple attack; thge mechanics are very different, and the rules state "when an attack is parried." Swift Attack is one attack in OW.
