The Bomb. Multiple Questions

[Glorian Underhill]

Hi.
Concerning the new Bomb I have some questions which might seem obvious, but when playing against opponents the obvious sometimes get difficult when armour rolls are involved.

I need no explanations, just a simple yes or no.

1. Does I have to target a field with a player in it or can I throw it an open space.

1.1 if I target an empty space and it is acurate then the bomb explodes there:

1.2 if I throw at an empty space and it is inacurate it scatters three times:

...... 1.2.1 Does it explode there where the scatter ends:

...... 1.2.2 Or if it is an empty space where the scatter ends, does it bounce one more time:

...... 1.2.3 Does the Bomb bounce any time at all, ever:

...... 1.2.4 Bomb throw inacurate, scattered 3 times, player in last space, can he catch it or does it explode imediately:


2. What is if I knock someone through the bomb action over from my own team.

- 2.1 turnover if he was a normal player:
- 2.2 turnover if he has carried the ball:

3. Catching the Bomb. In the rules it is stated that all rules work as for a normal Ball throw.

3.1 so, when the bomb throw was acurate on the target player, and he decides to catch it, does he get +1 on the catch as it was acurate?:

4. Stupid players cant catch the Ball/Bomb:

- 4.1 Can wild animals catch/intercept the bomb:

5. No Hand mean no chance to catch the Ball.

- 5.1 Does this also means he cannot catch the Bomb:
- 5.2 Does this means the bomb will automaticly explode if it enters/ends his field:

6. If the Bomber fumbbls the Bomb.

- 6.1 It explodes in his space:
- 6.2 It bounces:

7. If the Bomber is knocked over.

- 7.1 Is there a Bomb that will fall down?:


Edited 1.2.4

1. Does I have to target a field with a player in it or can I throw it an open space.
Any square, including empty spaces.

1.1 if I target an empty space and it is acurate then the bomb explodes there:
Yes

1.2 if I throw at an empty space and it is inacurate it scatters three times:
...... 1.2.1 Does it explode there where the scatter ends:
Yes
...... 1.2.2 Or if it is an empty space where the scatter ends, does it bounce one more time:
No the moment it lands in an empty square it detonates
...... 1.2.3 Does the Bomb bounce any time at all, ever:
No
...... 1.2.4 Or has there the player, if there is one the chance to catch it:
? Not sure what you're asking here. If you mean "If there is a player in the square the bomb has scattered to before it lands..." Then that player can attempt to catch the bomb from an inaccurate throw.

2. What is if I knock someone through the bomb action over from my own team.
- 2.1 turnover if he was a normal player:
- 2.2 turnover if he has carried the ball:
Always a turnover if you knock over your own players, see turnover rule #1.

3. Catching the Bomb. In the rules it is stated that all rules work as for a normal Ball throw.
3.1 so, when the bomb throw was acurate on the target player, and he decides to catch it, does he get +1 on the catch as it was acurate?:
I believe so, need confirming.

4. Stupid players cant catch the Ball/Bomb:
Correct, Bone Head/Really Stupid state so in the skill description.
- 4.1 Can wild animals catch/intercept the bomb:
Yes

5. No Hand mean no chance to catch the Ball.
- 5.1 Does this also means he cannot catch the Bomb:
Yes, he cannot
- 5.2 Does this means the bomb will automaticly explode if it enters/ends his field:
Yes

6. If the Bomber fumbbls the Bomb.
- 6.1 It explodes in his space: - See Fumble rules on p22. (To expand on this, the ball when fumbled always first lands on the floor in the square the fumbling player is located and then bounces away, same for bombs, except they don't bounce, they detonate instead.)

7. If the Bomber is knocked over.
- 7.1 Is there a Bomb that will fall down?:
From a Block/Dodge etc? No

I imagine Tom will correct anything I've gotten wrong.

Thanks.

Some Questions are redundant but I want clean answers, cause Im wrinting my Bomb Guide:

"Dr. Underhill or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"

fen has it all correct

6. If the Bomber fumbbls the Bomb.
- 6.1 It explodes in his space: - See Fumble rules on p22. (To expand on this, the ball when fumbled always first lands on the floor in the square the fumbling player is located and then bounces away, same for bombs, except they don't bounce, they detonate instead.)

Are you sure? Under the description for Bombadier, it says:
Fumbled and intercepted bomb passes are not turnovers.

How can this be if it explodes in the bomber's square as this will be an automatic knock-down?

If it is not a turnover, then is it a turnover if other, non-ball-carrying team-mates are knocked down?

[Rab]

Oops, cross-posting with Galak!

Ok, Tom knows the rules quite well so I take your word for it, just trying to understand the rationale...

Is it that the fumble isn't a turnover, but the knockdown is?

[Mootaz]

Is it that the fumble isn't a turnover, but the knockdown is?

I think that's it. Otherwise my opponent could catch the bomb and then fumble it, thus resulting in a turnover IN MY TURN!

[fen]

Is it that the fumble isn't a turnover, but the knockdown is?

100% Correct, the KD causes the turnover.

[Glorian Underhill]

Can you please give a definite answer for:

3.1

Galak said everything is correct so the the answer is yes right?

[Rab]

Thanks fen

@ Glorian - it does seem a bit harsh to be penalised for throwing an accurate bomb, doesn't it?!

Debating about the rules is not my desire. I just want to know what my opponent has to roll before he meets his doom.



The main idea of the Bomb would be the Elf-waste-disposal.
Because dead Elfes cant catch.

And after they have changed the rules where my Bomber has been deleted from the Dwarf roster, even my dreams of an Long Range Artillery Dwarf with Hail Mary Pass throwing Bombs from my Endzone is dead.
Well what should I say, Im a german. We have a hand for weapons.

[Rab]

Me too

[Darkson]

3.1 is correct.

[rozia]

Does it mean that under LRB 5.0 recipient of the bomb gets +1 for the accurately passed bomb? Even if that was not the thrower's idea?

Yes, I'm afraid so. Never throw a bomb at an elf with Nerves of Steel ... or any AG4+ player for that matter. He'll throw it back at your bombadier who's guaranteed to fail to catch it (with hilarious consequences).
