Caestus Assault Ram

[Jakobus]

So I was looking over the Caestus Assault Ram and I got to the Teleport Homer and the last line puzzled me slightly.

"so long as the Caestus has not moved Flat Out this turn."

 

Now am I wrong, but doesn't Deepstrike occur before movement, so when you Deepstrike you haven't moved flat out that turn. Now RAW I can see someone argueing that it says nothing about going Flat out after you've used it since it says has not not does not

[Brother Valerius]

My guess? It was meant to be that you cannot deep strike for a turn after it moves flat out, and the writer just expressed it wrong (forgetting which order those two events happen in). That's simply my interpretation of it, though.

[Grey Mage]

Your right- RAW its a useless meaningless rule.

 

Personally, Id play it that if your using the homer, your not going to go flat out this turn.

[Isiah]

Seems a reasonable interpretation GM, so does the cannot be used the turn after you moved flat out which kinda makes more sense [?]. Either way well spotted Jakobus. Looks like a definite for the Grey Area topic.

If you look at the rules for moving flat out in the 40k rulebook, it says that you have to declare if it's going to move flat out at the start of the movement phase (c/ref fast transports), and it's treated as moving flat out from the start of that phase.

presumably this is what the rule refers to

I just looked over the Fast Vehicles rules and could see any reference to having to declare Flat out at the start of the turn, only that you can't disembark passengers and then go flat out. Of course I could be missing a sidebar somewhere.

 

What I was looking at was the first line of the Rolling for Reserves "At the start of each of his Movement phases except the first, before moving any unit.."

FW actually :wacko: although I've never really understood that relationship.
