My mixed fireteam has only one member with the Assault rule. I declare an assault that is successful. I understand that the other members of the team can not assault, but would they move? Assault changes the two short skill moves into one long skill move, so if the other members can move, would they use a single short skill move; move both their MOV values with two short skill moves; or move an entire order move somehow?
However, all members of a Fireteam must declare the same Order, declaring the same Short Skills of the Order or Entire Order as the Team Leader. Any Short Skills of the Order, or Entire Order, a Fireteam member cannot perform are considered an Idle. However, troopers will perform the Short Skills of that Order they are able to perform. In this situation, the other Fireteam members will perform their Order normally. The unit with Assault would act and the rest of the fireteam would idle since none of them can perform that skill. Coherency could become an issue, along with ARO's from the idling units. So, no the other units wouldn't move.
Thanks. It's what I figured. Assault is super tricky with fireteams due to the coherency issue. The wording of the skill is odd though. It states: Assault is an Entire Order made up of the Short Movement Skill Move + CC Attack. The user can declare Assault to add up the two values of his MOV Attribute into a single Short Movement Skill that lets him enter base to base contact with an enemy. REMEMBER When declaring Assault as an Entire Order, you must declare both the Short Movement Skill Move and the target of the CC Attack before the opponent declares AROs. So I would be declaring a short mov skill and a target. the other members of the team can do that, then using the assault rule to add the second MOV value into the order.
No, you are declaring Assault which is an entire order. The Assault order is only managed as MOV + Attack, except that you declare your movement and target as the first half of the skill, before ARO's are generated. You are trading the knowledge of everything you will do with your entire order for extra movement.
Yeah, I do get the intent, sequence, and grouping of the order. I wish though that the rule used an explanation without specifically stating "Short Movement Skill Move" which is technically something else entirely.
