    Orbital Strike works like a shooting weapon and you are allowed to fire a normal weapon plus the grenade launcher. I'd say you can fire both.

    However, you have to fire both at the same target without an allowance to target different units with different weapons.

    This is exactly my position. Would you believe I had an argument about this? Specifically, that it's Ordnance and that the Ordnance rule is more specific than the weapon specific rule.

    Doesn't it say may be fired in addition to any other weapon fired?

    The ordnance limitation on firing only one weapon is a vehicle limitation, not a general limitation. It does not neccessarily apply to non vehicle models (and I believes no statement is ever made to that effect elsewhere either).

    So yes, they can both fire, but must fire at the same target. Each weapon may target a different model in the target unit, if both are firing blasts, though. So you can target the AGL at the closest model if unsure about the range and the Orbital strike at the furthest model to be safe(r) from bad scatter.
    Awesome. Awesome to the head.
