I believe I may have been making an unfair mistake as of late. Is it true that ratling guns do not get the -1 to hit when there being shot. I thought they did and was recently told otherwise. Just curious of this was common knowledge. |

Err... why would they not get it? Are they a single model? Yes. Are they a large target? No. Therefore, there is still a -1 to hit penalty when shooting against them, although they can be targeted even when near their parent unit now... Pillz |

it was pointed out to me in the warhammer book that units with unit strength 2 do not recieve the -1 bonus. ratling guns and jezzails in the skaven book are described having unit strength 2. Thats what threw me for a loop. |

It's true, now only lone model with unit strenght 1 and skirmisher with unit strenght 1 get -1 to hit. New rules from 7 edition. So it is sadly true. This means that even if they are hiding in a forest or something similar they are still very easy to hit. |

Mormeguil is quite correct as is your friend. US 2 single models do no longer benefit from -1 one to hit shooting - Such other units to suffer from this are Pegasus knights, the only other skirmishing US 2 model I can think of at the moment. |

ok I thought that was right. I feel bad for the 2 games that I played with them and thought they had the -1. Hopefully I'm not the only player to have made this mistake.
