The Commander Series Forum

Just a quick question regarding how recce units are treated during mobile deployment.

In the mobile deployment rules each command rolls to enter the table in the command phase, what happens with the recce units associated with a formation who normally "activate" in the initiative phase of the turn.

Option 1 would be that they can enter the table on the 1st turn in the initiative phase with no potential problems and carry out their activation as normal.

Option 2 (which is the one we have been using) is that they enter with the rest of the commands formation and activate as a normal unit for the first turn.

Option 3 is as 2 but the recce are the first units deployed on-table and do their normal initative phase activation before the rest of the command is deployed.

see p.47

Ah Doh! Must remember RTFM before asking questions.

Just to clarify, do the recce units come on after a successful command roll for their formation, or do they automatically enter the table on their first turn?

Gryphon? A successful command role?
You never get enough of them in a turn at the best of times!
Sorry. . for disturbing this conversation.
Sunday is good for a game. will be reading p.47 tonight.

That's what I like to see - a good bit of banter!

Brokendog is referring to a game where my CO blundered on the first activation of the game, his formation then failed to activate in the next three turns.

Meanwhile Brokendog got an average of 4 activations a turn with one of his formations, I averaged 1.

Strangely enough I lost the game
