A few questions on vehicles and movement especially in regards to enemy infantry but also considering vehicle vs vehcile rams
1 - Can a vehicle move over/through enemy infantry using a normal move (not a ram)?
2 - If Q1 is 'Yes' do the models auto move aside or do they have to test to see if they are squished?
3 - When using a Ram action against troops p30 states.
"If the vehicle survives (the react fire) it is moved into base to base contact with as many models as possible (this may mean some models moving out of coherancy as the vehicle rams into their position)
a)Why would the models move out of coherancy at this point as they have not done an evade as yet?
b) the ram movement has to be in a straight line, does that mean you get to turn before moving in the straight line?
c) the ram movement has to be in a straight line, isnt 'moving into btb with as many models as possible' restricting the direction and movement of the vehicle?
4 - After passing the evade roll grunts are moved out of base to base with the vehicle. Is this optional? what if I want to hth the vehicle? does that mean I am automatically rammed?
5 - it states "gruntz may react fire against vehicles" does that mean I cannot react assault?
6 - P33 states "Rams must move the total distance of move + 3 inches"
What does this mean? If I ram grunts then I have to stop as soon as I contact a single grunt, if I ram a vehicle I must stop at the vehicle (and possibly push it back)
7 - Mecha hand weapons and Vehicle power claws with 0 range.
A - So to use them against Grunts, the vehicle performs a ram and then if there are any infantry that fail their dodge test and arnt killed by the ram damage they can then be attacked by the (anti infantry) weapons. Is that correct?
B - To use them against a vehicle, you have to perform a ram and if that vehicle (and yourself) survives the ram and the target vehicle isnt pushed back d3 inches then these can be used against the vehicle? I cant seem to find any mention of power claws against vehicles
C - Is there any way of a mecha to actually assault another vehicle without performing a Ram?
8 - if q1 is 'No' then is it the intention of the rules that infantry can effectively corral vehicles and prevent them moving simply by standing around them and forcing them to either stay still or ram a minimum distance?
Thanks for your time
