We're diligently working on the event errata, but the realization came in that there are a few things that were missed in the official one as well as things we missed for last years event. With the growth of PF, it's time we looked into those things.
Simply, we know some of you won't attend our event but still may use our errata as grounds to clarify some rules, so for the rest of this week, I'm going to accept any questions for us to review for the Planetfall 2014 errata.
We are currently looking at -
Monster Assault
Vehicle Assault
Flame weapons
Re-reviewing Gatling weapons.

You are going to publish a comprehensive errata document? Basically, I mean last year's plus the new stuff from now? If you, you are a saint among men.  |

Here's the deal:
The Official Planetfall Errata will be a compilation of last year's and this year's errata. MOST of last year's stuff is unchanged, with a few second looks just to be sure of ourselves, but will probably be unchanged.
I always try make clear, and will again, that as far as anything else is concerned, this is a separate, fan based errata that is made to be an addition to the Official errata and shouldn't be considered sanctioned official to Gruntz 15mm on the whole, unless Robin states otherwise. It is, however, official to all 15mm W.S.I. events, including Planetfall and ArtiCon, and is considered the standard in edition to the errata officially posted by Robin.
So though our errata will contain all of last year's plus this years, it will not contain the official errata as I want to keep the two knowingly separate entities, in respect for all the work Robin has done.
Now, start posting so we can start working!

Condition Brown that takes a model off table = dead model. (or at least out of the fight, which is the same effect)

That's going on the list, assumed it was common knowledge/practice until someone posted the question on Facebook. But yup, Any other rules queries?
Further, ANY move off the given table border results in unit death. The only exception to this at current is if a unit is controlled by Telepathy, in which a unit can only move TO the border of the map and not off of it. (Play testing proved that controlling a unit for a round tipped the scale too much into the over-powered area if it could instantly kill a unit if it was <8" from the boarder in the case of most infantry.)

This is how we play gatlings and flamers:
Gatling guns do not scatter - roll Shoot for each figure under the template. Figures under the template are still obscured by terrain (in cover) or can be out of LoS (thus not targeted) etc.
Roll shoot for each figure under a flame template. No cover allowed and +1 to hit due to nature of weapon.

My only real rules drama is to do with Vehicles and Monsters assaulting each other or Gruntz squads. It really needs to be cleared up. I have my own way of resolving these actions, however it would be fantastic to get an official set of rules covering these actions.

This is what I've spent most of the day on Saturday testing, It's currently in the errata so you can look forward to that. Vehicle CC is getting a nice look at with some key balance changes that will really help them even the field against infantry swarms.

Figures under the template are still obscured by terrain (in cover) or can be out of LoS (thus not targeted) etc. Roll shoot for each figure under a flame template. No cover allowed and +1 to hit due to nature of weapon. After considerable play testing, we have decided to stand by our current ruling on Flame Template Weapons. This will not be changed from last year. Gatling weapons are currently under re-review, but as of current, we are leaning towards our current ruling. |
