Just making sure i understand things propperly.

 

Just as an example, let's say a pack of Grey Hunters is falling back. (Russ forbid, right?)

 

They can NOT regroup if;

 

enemies are within 6 inches and/or they are not in unit coherency.

 

They CAN regroup without a test if;

 

even if the unit is under 50%

 

no enemies are within 6 inches and/or they are within coherancy.

 

right?

 

also. if this poor pack is assaulted while falling back, do they auto regroup or do they have to take the leadership test? (I'm thinking regroup, but i wanted to check)

 

Normally a regrouping unit gets a 3 inch move and can shoot, counting as moving.

- Do our space wolves get to sit still and shoot as if they hadn't moved?

- Can our space wolves make a full normal movement?

- or do they get the 3 inches but count as not moving?

Correct

Correct, but drop the /or, there can be no enemy within 6" AND the unit must be in coherancy

 

right?

Regroups automatically

I can't comment on the last bit as i've not read C:SW yet...

They would automatically pass the test to regroup, and be once again "stuck in".

 

Remember- you can continue firing even while running away, so dont let anyone walk you off the board without making them pay for it.

 

Yes, we get to count as having not moved after we regroup.

Yes, we can make a full normal movement.

Negatory.

Where is this in the rules, im not disputing it, i've just not been able to find the page reference for it.

Top left of pg. 46, under "Firing while falling back". You of course count as moving, but are otherwise free to fire as you would normally.

 

It also states you auto-pass pinning tests and cannot choose to go to ground.

Why would you not get the 3" move first? (I know this has been argued before but to be truthful I kinda respect your opinion on stuff Grey Mage).

 

Does it not say anyone who passes regroup test get this move - SM auto pass the test not ignore it. Then ATSKNF kicks in where normally there would be no other move allowed ATSKNF states the unit can operate without restriction.

Are you sure you can't make two moves? Is regroup technically in the movement phase anyway?

 

Regroup is done at beginning of turn I think, thereby not being movement phase and such. I'd have to look up the wording to be sure, but I always took it as regroup is a different action to movement.

While actually RAW would support you making a 3" regroup move and then moving on.... I think the better argument, and the more reasonable interpretation is that "moving normally" precludes the 3" regroup move- thus I will move my little men six inches, not 9.

While we are on the subject, I've got a related Fall Back move question:

 

When a unit is making a Fall Back move, if there is something directly between the broken unit and the "friendly" table edge, for example Impassable Terrain, or a Vehicle, or an Enemy Unit, as long as the unit does not have to ever move toward the "enemy" table edge (as the rulebook says: to doubleback), the unit can move laterally (left and right) to go around the intervening obstacle, and continue its move toward my table edge, when possible.

 

This is my interpretation of the wording, and the diagram used to describe the fall back move, but it has been disputed.

Thoughts?

You can move diagonally and even laterally to avoid impassable terrain, I see nothing in the rules that says you cant.

 

You just have to get them as close to your own board edge as possible- so in most cases diagonally would be the proper way to go about it.

The 2nd paragraph of the REGROUPING section (BRB pg46) states the test is taken IN the movement phase, so i don't believe it's something done seperately.

 

Reading the 4th paragraph, about the 3 inch move, leads me to believe that that is a restriction on movement, not an addition on movement.

 

So... I'll be sticking to 6 inches of movement after regrouping. ;)

 

Bad enough the All Father and Russ had to see me retreat in the first place. :P

 

P.S. Thanks for the clarification on "Trapped" units. that's always seemed a little vague to me. <Cheers>

Can you get "trapped" by your own units?

 

Assuming ATSKNF doesn't save us from being trapped

In my opinion, the way my group plays it, is that if you cant run away you are caught, and if your caught then ATSKNF kicks in and you take no retreat wounds.

And They Shall Know No Fear

 

My bad, ugh.

 

Okay but doesnt all marines get this ability.

 

 

I so need some beer.

Yes, all marines get these, atleast all LOYAL marines do- chaos marines are another story.

 

Also, tau, tyranids etc dont get it.
