New Dakka, how do we adjust?


Recommended Posts

Keep calm and Assault Doctrine.

 

This realistically changes nothing. The rule is actually worse than the current Dakka Dakka Dakka rule. Exploding sixes is pretty much identical to 50% more shots at close range, but Dakka weapons are worse than before at longer ranges. 

 

Assuming a flat D6 probability:

 

3 boys with Shootas at 1 - 9".

Before:  6 Shots, 3 hits at BS5+ with the DakkaDakkaDakka rule.

After: 9 shots, 3 hits at BS5+ with DAKKA weapons. 

 

3 boys with Shootas at 10 - 18".

Before:  6 Shots, 3 hits with with DakkaDakkaDakka.

After: 6 shots, 2 hits DAKKA weapons. 

 

Not only that, they lose the ability to advance and shoot, as assault weapons changed to DAKKA weapons. 

 

Definitely a downgrade, given the current knowledge.

Do we know that they lost the dakka dakka dakka rule?

 

 

That’s right. Dakka is no longer an ability, it’s an entirely new weapon type!
