Dive Bomb
URL Copied!

Gyrocopters carry small bombs fitted with mechanical flints to light their fuse. Once the fuse is lit, the pilot must quickly release the bomb. All too often unlit bombs are dropped or, worse, lit bombs are not dropped at all!

Once per game, a unit with this special rule may perform a 'Dive Bomb' attack against a single enemy unit that is not engaged in combat. To do so, this unit must move (by flying) over the unit it wishes to attack during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Once this unit's movement is complete, the enemy unit suffers D6 Strength 3 hits, each with an AP of -1, for each model in this unit that moved over it. However, for each roll of a natural 1 made when determining the number of hits, a bomb has misfired and this unit loses a single Wound instead.
