Mycetic spore shooting

[Davor]

One more thing. I clearly remember when the Shield Wall rule was being debated, so many people said it was DUMB and didn't need disscussion that the HT/SL COULD be picke out because he was an IC.

We all know how that turned out. So who was the dummy there then?

No this discussion is not dumb. Let us please debate or discuss this in a gentlemanly manner and prove with page numbers please, not "how it should be played" becuase that could differ from person to person.

I have to agree that there is no such thing as a stupid rules discussion. Even if there is a rule spelled out in black and white it makes me really think about the rule.

My gut reaction to a few things was wrong until I started debating them:psychic overwatch, null deployment for SM and how challanges are issued.

It's stupid because the rules don't say you may fire in your opponents turn. Spirit leach specifically says it goes off in the enemies turns. Limited sentience makes no mention of the enemies turn.

Remember, this isn't a game of 'the book doesn't say I can't, therefore I can.' (otherwise our gaunts could carry lascannons because the book doesn't say we can't)

It's a game of 'the book says I can, so I can.'

So tell me where it says limited sentience works during the opponents turn. Specifically says 'enemies turn' not 'every turn' by the way.

You must follow all rules when you can. To override a rule, it must dirctly override it, not just be a maybe kinda sorta....

The rules let you shoot in *your* shooting phase. So if the MySpore can shoot in 'each' phase, that defaults to each of your shooting phases, since those are the only allowable ones to start with.

To do otherwise, would need a direct statement; such as with DoM.

And my guess is they put it that way, to differentiate between only being allowed to shoot when you first DS in. And to clear up that it has the same 'shoot closest' restriction the entire game.
