= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Commodore cannon commands respect as the most feared artillery piece in the game thanks to its 20" slam. With Shae's feat, Rockbottom's Money Shot and Dougal's Double Powder Ration, it can slam something 25" away at RAT 10. It can light blast-immune troops on fire to boot.


=== Combos & Synergies ===
* [[Captain Phinneus Shae]] gets it into position with his feat and can protect it from incoming fire with Phantasm, which he should. (Note that Coup de Main does not affect the speed of the cannon due to the wording of its rules. The cannon itself does not activate so it is unaffected by the spell.)
* [[Lord Rockbottom]] grants it Money Shot. If you take the cannon, you should have Rockbottom.
* [[Master Gunner Dougal MacNaile]] grants it Artillerist (if using the blast shot) or 2" extra range on his mini feat turn. Among Rockbottom and Dougal you can get the cannon to a casual MAT 12, POW 20.
* The [[Galleon]] can power-lifter the Commodore on turn 1 and possibly even on turn 2, giving the Commodore the ability to get into range without giving up all shooting.
* Move up your [[Hermit]] and have him apply his -2 ARM aura, then slam him in the back with the cannonball to get him an extra d6" forward. His Ancient Shroud will mean he only takes 1 damage. Maybe you can even slam him into an enemy small-based model and knock it down.
* [[Steelhead Ironhead]] - He can crane it 2". You only get this combo with a privateer caster in Irregulars and have to bring in the Ironhead with [[Nemo4]].
* [[Fiona the Black]] - -2 ARM on enemies makes the shots even more powerful and Occultation can protect it.


=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
== Unit  Rules ==
* Kill either the crew or the gun and the whole unit dies.
{{Category:Unit}}
* Lacks protection against ranged attacks and is easily sniped.
* Canister shot looks amazing, but realistically given the speed it moves, it’s in serious danger if it’s using this attack type.
* Models with special rules for hit re-distribution (Shield Guard, Sucker!, Sac Pawn, etc) will easily make your shots wasted.


=== Tricks & Tips===
== Changes and Updates ==
* The possibilities are endless. Run a low DEF model in front of the caster and slam it over them. Slam an enemy heavy into another from downtown. Be on the lookout for ideal targets.
* Limited Employment is ''not'' like a [[Bond]]. To put the Commodore in a theme force, you need to have a caster the Commodore is willing to work with ''and'' a theme that allows the Commodore (so only Irregulars and Talion).

Model Advantages and Abilities

Tough
Tough		 When this model is disabled, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, remove 1 damage point from this model; it is no longer disabled and becomes knocked down. While knocked down, this model loses Tough.

  Errata-Tough on 4-5-6 (2023-6-22)
Question: If a feat or ability says when a model "makes a Tough roll of 4,5, or 6... that model can remove 1 damage point," does that mean the model gets to remove 1 damage point from that ability PLUS another damage point from the Tough ability?
Answer: No, you only remove 1 damage point.
Explanation: You will only heal one point of damage due to [Madrak's] feat

Pistol
Pistol

A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.

  Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17)
Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray?
Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee.
Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model.

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.
