Bailout Check Question

[Jack Ruetty]

I think I have been misinterpreting what a Bailout Check is and more importantly who and when it is applied.

Is the following correct?

1. If a crew is forced to leave a destroyed vehicle as the result of an OFT attack it survives only on a single dice roll of 1.

2. If a crew is forced to leave a destroyed vehicle as the result of an DFT attack it survives on a single dice roll of 2, 4, or 6.

3. Passengers always survive on a single dice roll of 2, 4, or 6 (never are faced with survival depending on a single dice roll of 1).

A Bailout Check than is the concept of rolling one dice and surviving on an even roll?

Where I think I was screwed up was somehow lumping the Bailout Check with the survival only on a single dice roll of 1 check.

Thanks for any help

You are right on every case you mentionned above.

The rules for these checks were all over the place and, often times, contradicting; that is why I came up with the table that can be found on LnLT PAC 09.

I actually was looking at the first paragraph in section 15.4 and was confused with the wording. Than went to PAC 09 and was beginning to see I was looking at this wrong. Thanks for the clarification.

15.4 is confusing because of a copy-paste error that duplicated the following sentence at the beginning of the second paragraph:

Roll 1d6: if the result is 1, place a GO
Crew under the Wreck and mark it with a
Moved marker; for any other result, eliminate
the Crew along with their vehicle
