Maximum Overdrive

Fluff
We will crush our enemies on this planet! But we must be mindful as this systems star has been acting peculiar since we arrived. Enormous Solar Flares and Sunspots have been affecting both the men and their equipment. The Machine Spirit has been acting up, more so than usual.

Overlay Mission-

Deployment:Any
Objective:Any

At the beginning of each game turn roll on the table to determine effects for that turn.

1-Radiation Storm- All models take a S1 hit with armor saves allowed.
2-5 Oooh Pretty- No affect.
6-Something strange is happening- All Vehicles (tanks, skimmers, walkers, everything with an AV besides artillery) gain a form of Rage and Power of the Machine Spirit. They must move as far as possible towards the closest enemy. If they can tank shock or ram, they must do so. Vehicles with a WS must assault. They are then allowed to fire one extra weapon than they would usually be allowed at the listed BS.

What happens if I can ram one unit, but it's in the direction away from the closest enemy? Do I still have to move towards the nearest enemy, or can I ignore them in favor of ramming elsewhere?

Hello? Talking to you dude...

[thebrowndandy]

I meant to ask you to reiterate this in person. Because I'm not sure what you are saying. And how you can still tank shock/ram something that is not closer to you, than the other thing... I may just not be getting the question.

Do you mean there is a squad of troops 2" from you, and a vehicle 4" the other way, you can ram the vehicle or tank shock the troops closer. I would think that it would be just like Rage... If you had a Chaos Dreadnaught with Rage. And the enemy parked their Rhino 2" away from it and unloaded a squad of marines with melta based wazoos 4" away, you'd want to assault the Marines, but you would have assault the Rhino right?

Or are you just wanting to argue that if a vehicle was so angry, that it would try to do the most damage and ram instead of tank shock something that would hop out of its way?

Where did I hit the target on this because I think I'm lost?

[FrostReaver]

You got it. I was just checking to see if tank shocking or ramming had priority.
