An ordered dreadnought unit may remain in its hex or move up to 1 hex and perform combat. A dreadnought unit has a range of 3 hexes.
Adjacent is not ranged combat, the 3 dice roll is close quarters combat. In addition to the dreadnought's close quarters dice, add 1 die for each fighter figure with the dreadnought unit even when the dreadnought is battling back in close quarters combat.
Two hexes to target roll 3 dice.
Three hexes to target roll 3 dice.
When the dreadnought is ordered each dreadnought fighter will also add 1 die in ranged combat.
A dreadnought when battling back in ranged combat will not add its dreadnought fighters to the ranged combat.
Unit Hit On
Hitting a Dreadnought At the start of a battle a dreadnought unit has 3 fighters. Dreadnought fighters act as a dreadnought CAP when attacked and indicate the relative strength and number of hits the dreadnought can absorb. When a hit is scored on a dreadnought, 1 CAP fighter figure is removed for each hit scored. When there are no remaining cap fighters to protect the dreadnought, any hits scored on the dreadnought must be confirmed to take effect and eliminate the dreadnought. To confirm a hit, reroll all the dice that scored hits. On the reroll, a purple square symbol or a blast symbol will confirm the hit and the dreadnought figure is eliminated. When you eliminate a dreadnought figure, the dreadnought's unit marker is taken and placed on your victory stand in your play area.
