Yesterday I was introducing some friends to Colonial Battlefleet and was using the book fleets to do so. One of the players fired grapeshot and during the missile movement phased it passed through a hex that contained a pair of missiles that I had fired. I haven't played using ASGM's and grapeshot so the question is does the grapeshot destroy missiles? I couldn't find any anything in the rules about grapeshot and missiles. Thanks for the help.

I don't have the rules in front of me. . . but I believe grape shot does not destroy missiles.
Missiles have their own shields and point defense systems. Not enough grapeshot would hit a single missile to take it out of the fight.

we have never used it that way, but I do see the reasoning. After all, it can damage ships who should be better defended than a missile. Like to see a house ruleon this...

Regarding grapeshot... is it autonomous or must a FC point be spent to fire it?

From an earlier discussion, grapeshot does not affect missiles: steeldreadnought.proboards.com/thread/751/grape-shot-missiles |

Regarding grapeshot... is it autonomous or must a FC point be spent to fire it? Pretty sure that that question has come up before. However, haven't spotted the answer yet! You could try using the search command at the top of the page with a keyword "grapeshot" -- maybe your eyes are better than mine and you'll spot the answer before I do! |

Fire Control is required for grapeshot.
