Platoon Questions


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks!

 

A question or 2 about platoons.

 

Am I right in assuming each unit in the Platoon acts independently from the others? ie can the HWS move/fire separately from the "blobs"? or does everything in the platoon move/shoot together at the same target? 

 

a silly question I know I'm just trying to figure out the dynamics of IG/AM. 

 

Thanks!

You can choose during deployment if you want them separately or as a giant blob acting as 1 unit. You can also decide how to split them up, for example you can leave the platoon command squad and HWS behind while the 50man infantry blob stays grouped.

Actually, only the infantry squads may be "blobbed", the special/heavy weapon squads and command squads may not be in the blob. Once a blob is formed, it is essentially one unit. Every other unit is entirely independent. Even the rules about reserve and deployment are gone (the previous codex had them all deploy at the same time/coming in from reserve at the same time, but it is no longer the case)
