When to seize

[Madmonkeyman]

So when does seize the initiative happen. After deployment , at the start of the game or at the start of the first turn. Given that specific units can redeploy after deployment , some at the start of the game but before the first turn it can make a big difference .

 

I run alpha legion bezerkers. They deploy after the game starts but before the first turn. If I know there is no chance of a seize then I can be more aggressive with their deployment .

you roll for sieze after all deployment is done, but before the first turn starts.

[Madmonkeyman]

so is that after the game starts or after the first player turn starts? Alpha legion / raven guard set up after the game starts but before the first turn starts

The attempt to seize happens immediately after the person who gets to choose whether to go first or second chooses to go first. So, immediately after deployment. Which means the attempt to seize would happen before the start of the game and before the start of the first turn.

it also depends on if you are using the rule that's been shown on the community site where instead of less drops going first they get +1 to see if they go first.

That's not an official rule until CA releases.

 

And is only used with CA missions and not those in the core rules.
