Brother Darklight Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm just looking for some clarification on the rules for assaulting: -I know that you CAN assault multiple enemy units at once. -I know that you CAN NOT assault a unit that is already in an Assault. But, on your assault turn can you assault with two of your units at the same time into an enemy unit? (Sort of backwards to the first point) Ex: I have an Emperor's Champion and a Crusader Squad both in Assaulting distance from, lets say, a unit of slugga boys. On my assault turn can both the Emperor's Champion and the Crusaders assault the same Ork squad on the same turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You can assault a unit that is already in assault. there is no restriction against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Darklight Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Really?! Last game I played, my buddy told me that you can't, and proceeded to read the list of conditions of what prevents a unit from being put into Assault... one of the conditions was it can't already be in an assault... Or did that mean the unit that's DOING the assaulting can't? Because, now that I think about it, that would make more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 -I know that you CAN NOT assault a unit that is already in an Assault.

On my assault turn can both the Emperor's Champion and the Crusaders assault the same Ork squad on the same turn? You can assault a unit that is already in CC, but a unit that is in CC cannot assault a new unit. So yes, the scenario you describe is indeed possible. As well as, I can have a squad of Grey Hunters in CC with some chaos marines and the next turn I send in some more Grey Hunters. That is also entirely possible.

Because, now that I think about it, that would make more sense Yeah, that means the unit assaulting can't already be in a combat (can't leave 1 combat to charge into a new one). Throwing more guys into a battle is perfectly ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 James and LP have wrapped this up nicely. ;) Charging into an already in-progress combat is not only legal...it can be a very good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkGuard Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Throwing more guys into a battle is perfectly ok awesome. one small fix Indeed, one example being the embroiling the melee of Orks that occurred in a game at my LGS earlier. One unit got charged by some Boyz, who then got counter-charged by another unit, who in turn got counter-charged. It was a big mess but also very awesome! :).

He was (rightfully) scolding at us for getting out of line. :) It was more or less my fault for steering us in that direction...for which I apologize.
