Linking Q's.

by tinfish » July 15th, 2014, 12:55 pm

Still getting the grasp of this lot and have a couple of questions.

I have a team of 3 Wildcats, they are Linked. during the other players turn a lone model moves out infront of me, do I generate 3 ARO's? It would seem so..

Further more, during the reactive phase each of my linked guys gets +1 B. So, they get 2 shots each despite it being the enemy turn? The "one shot during ARO rule, is so well hidden I can't find it, but I assume this overrides it?

Next up, I put the team on Supressive fire, I assume only the leader gets the marker? Further more.. if so my leader would get 4 shots (3 for Supression, 1 for being linked) and the other 2 Wildcats would get 2 shots (1 ARO, 1 for Linked) they don't benefit from the supression markers?

Cheers!

Yes each model ARO's

Yes each model in the link gets the bonuses (so +1 B for 3 of them) even in ARO

Supression Fire .... mind blank... I'll let some-one whos not so rusty answer that one :blush:

Suppression Fire was ruled to be a separate type of ARO from BS Attack, so if the Link Leader and any other models ARO then you're going to break the link by using Suppression Fire.

Yes, all the members of a Link do ARO, provided they are entitled to do so.
Also, they have to perform the same ARO. IE if all 3 have LoS to the opponent carrying out an Order, they may all shoot. Or all Dodge. But no mixing AROs.

Yep, they all benefit from +1 Burst rule.

In the Suppression Fire case - yes, only the Link Leader gets the marker. Also, he doesn't get +1 Burst, as it isn't applied to Long Skills (Suppression Fire is a Long Skill). If there are more members of the Link Team, capable of AROing, you have two options:
1. ARO: Suppression Fire. Only the Link Leader shoots, with the SF benefits. The rest of the Link Team "provides support bonuses".
2. Drop the SF and ARO with all the models eglible, but with no SF benefits. For example, shoot with Burst 2 with their Combirifles or Light Flamethrowers.

Seem to be different answers on wether or not SF breaks the link :D
It would make sense, it's rather powerfull.

The way I read it, It would break the link if the leader used it - as he would be kicked out of the link as a result and the others aro'd with other options (as the leader is the one NOT doing the same ARO).

As Chromedog says - if the Link Leader does use SF, and the rest AROes in some other way, the link is broken.
If the Leader drops the SF and does the same ARO as the rest of the team, the link is not broken.
If the Leader uses the SF, and the rest of the team essentially does nothing / waits, the link is not broken.
