Thread: Wound allocation for Dummies

So wound allocation for dummies:

Same Save:

1. Roll to Hit
2. Roll to Wound
3. Make Saves
4. Allocate unsaved wounds to models beginning with closest models
5. If a wound is allocated to a character make a single look out sir roll
6. If successful the model that took the look out sir roll takes wound.
7. Begin allocating again with the character who is now the closest. Repeat as necessary until all wounds are accounted for.

Mixed Save:

1. Roll to Hit
2. Roll to Wound
3. Allocate Wounds to models beginning with closest models
4. Make save for allocated wound. If the closest model is a character take look out sir as appropriate.
5. If lookout sir is made, model makes save and is removed if save is failed.
6. Allocate next wound beginning with closest model and repeat above until all wounds have been allocated.

Multi-wound models function the same way. Wounds are simply allocated to the closest multi-wound model until dead.

In a unit of multi-wound models, individual models attempt the look out sir, and when they succeed they take the wound/unsaved wound. Allocation begin again with the closest model and is repeated until all wounds/unsaved wounds are resolved.

Only a single model may attempt to make a look out sir roll for any given wound or unsaved wound.

Does this look correct?

I think Kirby does a good job of clarifying it complete with diagrams, quotes and page numbers

but essentially look out sir is declared and rolled. If successful the new model becomes the allocated model for the wound/unsaved wound. The wound/unsaved wound is resolved, and you go back to allocating.

Someone please make sure I have that right.

It sounds right to me. Basically, the thing to know is the change from 5th is that in a same-save unit, "failed saves are allocated," not "wounds to be saved".

In the case of same save units it is failed saves.
In mixed armor units it is wounds to be saved.
