waaanial00 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi all, Recently had a game linky where me and my IG opponent were a little confused. The "move move" order was called then the unit shot, it wasnt particularly game breaking and was actually my suggestion (being the Marine player facing him). We couldnt figure out whether there was a rule stopping this. I appreciate that this is a marine forum but I figure knowing the inns and outs of enemy rules are as important as our own. Best be in the know when someone is trying something new. Hope you can help but if this is against the rules I dont mind this getting closed Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 There are several sections of the B&C where it’s appropriate to discuss other armies in the 40K system. Official Rules is definitely one of them. Just check out the specific FAQ /Forum rules or ask one of the Mods if you have any questions. On pg. 36 of the Guard Codex, under Move! Move! Move! It states, “If the order is successfully issued, the ordered unit immediately runs, rolling three dice and using the highest result when determining how far they move.” By my read, this command is a modification of a typical Run move used in place of shooting. So the squad would not be able to shoot in the same turn after executing a Move! Move! Move! command, just the same way as after a typical Run move.

Frosty the Pyro Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Runing prevents shooting and assulting (unless they also have fleet) even if done so by an order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Why thank you to both of you. We missed the fact that it would count as a "Run" move despite the fact that it says "RUN". Teach me to try and figure tactics on the fly. Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Chaos_Brute Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Once a unit has taken any order, it may not act further in that shooting phase unless that order is Get Back In the Fight! (Codex IG p. 29, p. 30, p.36) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
