WBB Points

[zangetsu]

I remember reading some where that if you bring necrons down to where you get points that you get they points regardless if they come back or not. Can anyone confurm this? Can you provide where it's from?

[coredump]

I have no idea what you are saying, or what you are asking.

[Overread]

I think he is asking whether you get victory points for destroying necron squades if members of that squade revive during battle.

[thepuritan]

the only way that could happen is if you killed every model in a squad that had another squad of the same model type nearby.
if, at the end of the game, members of the original squad are still on the table (but part of a different unit)... then, yes, you'd have "destroyed" the unit and get the VPs for it.

...but, if you're talking about just knocking a model over and then having it get back up in the same squad... then, if that unit is still standing at the end of the game, you didn't "destroy" it (even if you killed every model in there a few times over) and don't get the VPs for it.

[coredump]

You measure from the beginning, compared to the end.

If they started with two warrior squads of 20 and 20; and some how they end up at 8 and 24, you get credit for bringing one below half.

[zangetsu]

What I'm asking is if you wound a warrior squad to below half do you still get the points even if they WBB to half or higher?

[lowlygaunt]

No, if at the end of a game a warrior squad (or any necron squad) is above half strength, you do not get victory points for them. It does not matter at all if at any point they were below half strength. As long as the squad ends the game above 50% they are not worth victory points. Read Coredumps explanation above about when you count squads for victory points.

I had a question. In the necrons faq it sais that a unit of the same type must be within six inches in order to get a WBB. So, if you kill an entire squad of warriors and there are no warriors near then they cant make there WBB, correct?

[yoritomo]

That is correct.

There are two really good ways to deny necrons their WWB roll. The first is to catch them after losing combat. The second it to wipe the squad out and hope that there isn't another squad within 6".

[sephiroth00055]

When you say catch them after combat, do you mean sweeping advance?

[yoritomo]

Sure.

[sephiroth00055]

And I have what may be a dumb question. When you force a unit to fall back can they shoot, and how does falling back work.

[hivefleetsurt]

Yes you can shoot as you fall back but you still count as moving. For falling back in each of your movement phases you roll 2D6 and move that many inches straight towards your nearest deployment board edge. If is is a fast moving vehicle you roll 3D6. And any unit that is falling back count as being destroyed for victory points purposes unless they regroup.
