clarify rules on shooting at ogres

original thread ↗

Q1: If a unit of ogres, for example 3 ogres with a champion in it, is shot at. Do the shots get randomised? And in what manner?
Q2: If it gets randomised, how many models does a unit need to have to negate the randomisation?
Q3: If a unit of ogres has a character in it with US5, can he be picked out by enemy shooting? And how would this work?

I tried different searches on the internet and couldn’t find it. This could be because I suck at searching, or because its simply not there.


thanks in advance
Q1. The hits would be divided evenly between the models with left over hits randomised.
Q2. You need 5 rank and file models to negate the randomisation
Q3. If a unit has a character with US5 or more then the enemy may freely choose whether to target the character or the unit.

Concerning question 1, do the rank and file models share the wounds?
Or each model has its own woundS? (never played ogres yet)   :oops:
Only Champions and Characters have their own wounds - rank and file have a shared 'pool' per unit. Every 3 wounds you take on them is one dead Ogre.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm used to playing with empire, so I'm not used with multiple wound models.
Champions do not have their "own wounds" they count as RnF for the purposes of randomizing the shots and allocating the wounds.

RAnsroid is correct. Champions do however have their own wounds in close combat.
