Measure a straight line from the blunderbussiers as wide as the unit that is 12 inches long. Everything in this "fire zone" is hit on a 4+. Keep in mind that they may not fire if friendly units are in this "fire zone".

Consider it a template weapon. Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand)

Of course, they are awesome for low toughness, low armour troops as well. Meatshields are useless against them also. They get shredded and the unit behind will probably still get hit anyway! W00t!

Charge reactions for the blunderbluss isnt the best if the unit is outside your 12" range. Tehn only the first row gets hit.
