Subject: [SG] Rifle only squads
I'm pretty sure this came up a few months ago, but can't seem to find it in the archives. A squad with only rifles only rolls one die. It can only win on one die, and therefore can only get a suppress result? Is this true? It just seems odd. Can anyone recap the lists view or point me to the right archive thread? Thanks,

It can only win on one I think you're omitting the quality die. The rifle-only squad gets its quality die plus the cumulative rifle firepower die. A rifle only squad rolls two dice, a squad with rifles and one SAW rolls three dice (the squad firepower, the SAW firepower and the quality die).

Doh! Thanks to all! Somedays I don't think I'm ever going to get the mechanics straight. I sat down last night and made flow charts for combat die rolls. Maybe they'll stick in my head better that way. i have no clue why SG seems to be such a tough set of rules for me to wrap my mind around! Thanks, Martin
