Is there some sort of special rule for Empire Engineers that they get a 4+ Look-Out-Sir roll for each war machine within 3"?
Ran into an opponent that took two rolls for his engineers as there were two war machines within 3".

Re: Empire Engineers and the Number of Look-Out-Sir Rolls
No, unless FAQ'd otherwise. Is there an Empire FAQ?
Default to BRB, pg 97:
"a". Which I suggest means one roll only.

Re: Empire Engineers and the Number of Look-Out-Sir Rolls
There should be a special rule about it in the empire book I think. Otherwise an engineer does not get a look-out-sir roll from a warmachine. You only get LoS rolls when you are the same troop type. And an engineer is (I guess) infantry, while a warmachine is a warmachine. So there should be some rule in the empire book.
In general, no. You only get 1 LoS roll. Same as with other units. If you place 2 units within 3'' of a lone character model, that model only ever gets 1 LoS roll. An engineer is no different.

Got the Empire book here.
He gets a Look out Sir counting a war machine as if it were 5+ infantry, so I suggest the normal rules for that apply.

need to be slightly more specificGrenic wrote:Is there some sort of special rule for Empire Engineers that they get a 4+ Look-Out-Sir roll for each war machine within 3"?
Ran into an opponent that took two rolls for his engineers as there were two war machines within 3".
example
a) did a unit of archers hit the engineer and only 2 hit therefore 2 LoS were taken? which is the correct thing to do
b) did a cannon hit the engineer and he took 2 LoS? which is wrong thing to do. only 1 is taken as stated.
