Diving Charge clarification

This came up during a game today. When you complete a diving charge, the rules state that you get a +1 to HIT and a +1 to Str.

Is that +1 to hit applied to the charging model's weapon skill, or is it applied to the hit modifier?

Example: I need 4s to hit, now I need 3s.

I argued that the bonus applies to the hit (like the example). We ultimately rolled for it and I won that roll.


Also, can that make the 'to hit roll' a 2? I know that 1 always fails.


What say you?

I'm not sure how the words '+1 to hit' can be translated into +1 WS. The language is not that vague for this rule.

So you are right again. If you needed to roll a 4 to hit, now you need a 3. Thus if you needed a 3, now you will hit on a 2.

VK is exactly right. a +1 to hit is a LOT better than a +1 WS. Diving charges are a prime example of "High risk, high reward."

After we discussed it at length, we came to that conclusion.

Thanks for the responses all.
