There's been a bit of a discussion going on about this and I was wondering if a RM could weigh in and let us know what was intended.

Basically there are 2 interpretations of this rule.

1)aViks must attack a model as their first action or, if they are unable, they must charge an enemy model. If they are unable to do either they take 2 wounds.

2)aViks must attack a model as their first action or, if they are unable, they must charge an enemy model. Alternatively the controller can choose to do neither and lose 2 wds.

So basically is it a choice to take the 2 wds or not?

For clarity the question is better phrased;

"Is it a choice to take the melee strike or charge action if a suitable target presents itself? Or can the Viks choose to ignore the compulsion at the cost of taking 2 wounds?"

We are all agreed that the 2 wounds are applied automatically if no strike or charge action is taken.

This has been answered in this thread. (Case 1. is correct - just to spoiler a bit.)

I would have gone with nerdelemental's interpretation myself, but I can't argue with that. Cheers for the link.
