Joining ongoing assault

[MygL]

This is a question about the assault bonus (+1A) when assaulting.

 

Scenario: One group of ork boyz and two units of space marines, tactical and scout for instance.

 

Ork turn: The orks boyz assault the scout squad and gets the +1A from the assault bonus (and the +1S and +1I from furious charge). They fight off as normal and both groups are still locked in combat when the turn goes over to the Space Marine player.

 

SM turn: The Tactical squad move forward and assaults the orks that are locked in combat with the scouts.

 

So here is the question, do the Tactical squad get the +1A for assaulting? Do you always get +1A for assaulting no matter what? If so does an ork player also get the furious charge bonus if he assault a unit still locked in combat?

 

Thanks in advance, MygL

If you assault a target, you get any bonuses, simple as that! :D

Indeed, if you assult, you get the bonus for charging.

Thank you Seahawk and Frosty the Pyro. Me and my brother was a bit confused. I had in my mind some kind of wierd idea that you couldn't get a bonus if you join a assault. Only if you assault a unengaged unit.

 

Thank you again for clearing that up.

Question: Can Space Wolves get their 'counter-attack' bonus attack (on a LD test) every time a new unit charges them, even if they're already locked in combat?

Open the BRB to page 74, read "counter-attack" It is specificly stated. (answer no)
