| Ambush: Any unit entirely with Ambush may choose to not be Deployed normally, but to be placed in Ambush by simply not being placed on the Battlefield during Deployment. A unit placed in Ambush will arrive on the Battlefield later during the game.
From your Player Turn 2 and onwards, roll a D6 for each unit placed in Ambush at the start of the Movement Phase: every unit that rolls a 3+ will arrive on the Battlefield if possible.
During your Player Turn 5 and 6, this roll is always considered to have rolled a 3+.
When a unit arrives on the Battlefield, choose a point as specified by X. If no suitable point is available where the unit can be placed on the Battlefield, the unit cannot arrive on the Battlefield this turn.
Deploy each unit arriving on the Battlefield with at least three of its four corners within 6" from the chosen point in any valid formation following the Unit Spacing rule.
There must be no other units or Impassable Terrain directly located between any point on the Unit Boundary and the chosen point. See the figure below for examples.
Ambushing units count as having performed an Advance Move when they arrive on the Battlefield, and cannot perform any Move in the same Phase.
If an Ambushing unit does not arrive on the Battlefield by the end of the game, it is removed as a casualty.
An Attachable Models placed in Ambush can be Deployed joined to a unit placed in Ambush with the same X value, following the usual restrictions. It may choose a unit to be joined to during each of your Player Turns, before rolling to see if your Ambushing units arrive on the Battlefield.
Make a single dice roll for the Combined Unit.
Note: Attached has no effect on this; the choice of a unit to be Deployed in Ambush in may change each turn.
A unit arriving on the Battlefield in Game Turn 6 loses Scoring. Deploying Ambushing units.In these examples, the unit has Ambush (Battlefield Edge). The unit with the yellow check mark is placed in a valid position, while the two units with red crosses are not: the left one because there is an Impassable Terrain Feature between the Unit Boundary and the chosen point, and the right one because parts of the unit are more than 6" away from the chosen point. |
| Light Troops: A unit entirely with Light Troops can perform Reform Move Manoeuvres up to twice its Mobility (instead of the normal half Mobility).
If, while doing a Reform Move Manoeuvre, its centre moves further than its Mobility, the move is considered a March Move for the purpose of rules triggered due to Marching (e.g. Dangerous Terrain Test and, if Undead, being restricted from performing a March Move, etc.).
For the purpose of shooting, this is still a Reform Move. I.e. the unit can shoot if moving further than its Mobility.
Note: this rule has no effect on other Move Manoeuvres, including March Moves.
A unit containing Light Troops is always considered to have zero Proper Ranks; ignore Attachable Models with Light Troops joined to a unit for this purpose, unless the unit consists of only Attachable Models. |
