Failsafe Detonator: The failsafe detonator may be triggered if the bearer is part of a team that is forced to make a Fall Back move having lost an assault. The team is moved as normal, but the character stays where he is and the enemy may not make a Sweeping Advance. Once his team has moved, and before Pile in moves, the character activates the detonator - Place the Large Blast marker centred on the character, and roll for partial hits on the other models as normal. Every model hit takes a single, Strength 8, AP- hit, and the character is removed as a casualty. The enemy may not consolidate. Note that the enemy unit need not take a Morale check should this attack inflict 25% casualties, as it occurs outside the normal sequence in which such checks are required.
