Lothern Sea Guard

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Close Order formation.

A model with this special rule (but not its mount) has a +1 modifier to its Initiative characteristic (to a maximum of 10) during the first round of any combat.

A unit with this special rule can make supporting attacks to its flank or rear as well as to its front.

A unit with this special rule may re-roll any failed Panic test caused by taking heavy casualties or by being fled through by a friendly unit.

A unit of Lothern Sea Guard may use this special rule when it makes a Stand & Shoot charge reaction. A unit that does so can make a Stand & Shoot charge reaction regardless of how close the charging unit is. Once this shooting has been resolved, the charged unit may make a free redress the ranks manoeuvre, after which it will Hold and await the charging unit.

Units that are fleeing, that are already engaged in combat when charged, or that have been joined by a character that does not have this special rule cannot use this special rule.

A unit with this special rule can be accompanied by ‘detachments’ (see page 282).
