BOMBARDIER

When activated and if they are Standing, this player can perform a 'Throw Bomb' Special action, This Special action is neither a Pass action nor a a Throw Team-mate action, so does not prevent another player performing one of those actions during the same team turn. However, only a single player with this Trait may perform this Special action each team turn.

A Bomb can be thrown and caught, and the throw interfered with, just like a ball, using the rules for Pass actions as described on  Page 48, with the following exceptions:

• A player may not stand up or move before performing a Throw Bomb action.
• Bombs do not bounce and can come to rest on the ground in an occupied square Should a player fail to catch a Bomb, it will come to rest on the ground in the square that player occupies.
• If a Bomb is fumbled, it will explode immediately in the square occupied by the player attempting to throw it.
• If a Bomb comes to rest on the ground in an empty square or is caught by an opposition player, no Turnover is caused.
• A player that is in possession of the ball can still catch a Bomb
• Any Skills that can be used when performing a Pass action can also be used when performing a Throw Bomb Special action, with the exception of On the Ball.

If a Bomb is caught by a player on either team, roll a D6:

• On a roll of 4+, the Bomb explodes immediately, as described below.
• On a roll of 1-3, that player must throw the Bomb again immediately. This throw takes place out of the normal sequence of play.

Should a Bomb ever leave the pitch, it explodes in the crowd with no effect (on the game) before the crowd can throw it back.

When a Bomb comes to rest on the ground, in either an unoccupied square, in a square occupied by a player that failed to catch the Bomb or in a square occupied by a Prone or Stunned player, it will explode immediately:

• If the Bomb explodes in an occupied square, that player is automatically hit by the explosion.
• Roll a D6 for each player (from either team) that occupies a square adjacent to the one in which the Bomb exploded:
   - On a roll of 4t, the player has been hit by the explosion.
   - On a roll of 1-3, the player manages to avoid the explosion.
• Any Standing players hit by the explosion are Knocked Down.
• An Armour roll (and possibly an Injury roll as well) is made against any player hit by the explosion, even if they were already Prone or Stunned.
• You may apply a +1 modifier to either the Armour roll or Injury roll. This modifier may be applied after the roll has been made
