Vital position asset

[Pablo]

Hello everyone, taking advantage of the ongoing talk about the new rules for Dug In, I have taken the opportunity to review the Vital Position asset, and some doubts have arisen that I would like to ask you about.

According to the Vital Position asset, the first foot hit of each turn is ignored. My questions are the following:

• if I have 4 foot bases in the square where I have deployed the Vital Position asset, and I receive, for example, 3 hits, I would choose the first of them, following the rules of hit allocation, and the rest my opponent. Since the first hit assigned to a foot base is ignored, can I choose a base for the first hit, ignore that hit, and then choose a base again (even the same one I already chose), leaving only 1 hit to distribute to my opponent? Or does the ignored hit count as my choice, and my opponent would then distribute the remaining 2 hits?
• The +1D6 per base/vehicle for assaults, I assuming it is only for the defender of the square where the Vital Position asset is deployed, correct? I haven't found any reference to this in the table on page 115 where all the modifiers to the 3D6 that all bases have during an assault are described.

Thank you!

Hello Pablo

The -1 is applied the moment the shooter has rolled his dice.
e.g. the opponet says "I have achieved 4 hits." The target says "no, that is only 3 hits achieved".


The +1D6 per base/vehicle for assaults, I assuming it is only for the defender of the square where the Vital Position asset is deployed, correct?

You are correct Pablo.
e.g. 3 bases holding a vital position.+1, +1, +1 = 3 extra D6 for the target only. Assaulter never gets this. It is not in the table because it only applies on rare occasions.

I haven't found any reference to this in the table on page 115 where all the modifiers to the 3D6 that all bases have during an assault are described.

Pablo, if you e mail me I will sned you a df of the version of PBI we are testing right now.
