This original problem seemed to spring from me nit picking a rule about a drone disembarking from a devilfish.
The tau player opposing me said the rule clearly states you can only do this "in the beginning" of the movement phase.
i had never heard the "in the beginning" part before and after doing the nit picky thing of "Looking it up" hey look it was not in there. (In either tau codex)
The real problem came when i then used the jetpacks "even if you dont assault move"
He claimed you dont get to use that when you disembark a moving transport. even though thats not anywhere to be found.
They may claim that i am nitpicking the rules. Fine i can handle criticism. butthey are just incerting word into the rules which simply are not there. (And therefore changing their meaning entirely)
This all started because someone called me on a rules question and was wrong. I could propose the compromise... If they stop being wrong so much i will stop pointing it out.
(who am i kidding i am sure i would find something)
But you looked it up in the "old" codex. Not the "new" one! Pick a codex, and stick with it.
Honestly, I was upset about being wrong on the drone thing. But since the rule wasn't clear, we rolled a D6. You won the roll, my "hunted" stealth team ran off the board. You got all sorts of bonus VPs. But, karma cought up to you and your dice went bad. We won the match (mostly due to my partner. Thanks Dave) anyway.
