igotsmeakabob!! Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 So an Ork opponent of mine moved 12", disembarked from a trukk (open-topped), Waagh-fleeted and assaulted. Fine, but then I saw this on the FAQ: Q. Can a unit with the Fleet special rule assault after disembarking from a transport? A. No, it cannot. The Fleet rule simply removes the prohibition of assaulting after running. Is this just a clarification for Eldar players etc. who might think that they can move 12", get out of a Wave Serpent, fleet and assault? Or could the Orks not have fleet-assaulted out of their trukk? It seems to me that the former is correct.. but I felt that I should stick this question up here anyway.

That's a badly worded answer on that FAQ. You can't assault after a normal vehicle moves, regardless of Fleet. You can assault after an Assault (or Open-Topped) Vehicle moves.

Seahawk Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 So yes, orks can move their open-topped trukk 13" (red paint), disembark 2.99", waagh fleet for D6", and then assault for 6", for a total possible threat range of 27.99". Then add 6" if on a road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedog Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yep, it's legal. you can't disembark from an enclosed vehicle and assault (if it moved. If the vehicle hasn't moved before disembarkation, then the passengers can get out and move/assault.) Open-topped vehicles do not have this restriction.

Nor do assault vehicles like the land raider crusader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Agreed... fleet doesnt remove the restriction, but in the case of open-topped and assault vehicles theres no restriction remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
