Micronauts: The Game - Torpedo Spread Modifiers

[saxophone]

I have a question regarding Torpedo Spread Modifiers. Let's say the firing ship is not firing Long Lance torpedoes and the target is more than 2kyds away. According to the sequence of play, ship movement occurs during Phase 5. Torpedoes are then launched during Phase 7. Phase 4 of the following turn is the Torpedo Impact Phase. Under the conditions listed above, does this mean that the torpedo fired during turn 1, phase 7 impacts on turn 2, phase 4?

If yes, this is before ships have a chance to move, so how are the modifiers determined?

Greg,

There is an error in the text and the charts of the rules that we missed big time!

The proper sequence is:

1. Initiative / Cohesion Phase
2. Damage Control Phase
3. Detection Phase
4. Tactical Movement Phase
5. Torpedo Impact Phase
6. Gunnery Combat Phase
7. Torpedo Launch Phase
8. Air Combat Phase

The master reference sheet (on page 6, with gunnery and TT resolution tables) has
it right. Sorry for the confusion. We'll get it corrected.

GHQ and/or The Moderators,

Should there be a "sticky" or perhaps a special section somewhere for "official" rules corrections / clarifications / etc.?

Might be handy to have "one" place to check for that kind of thing!

Just a thought... which come through far too infrequently!

Regards,
Tom Stockton
