New Fire and Fade (just with an awful name now)

So, I've just realized a couple of things about our new version of 'fire and fade' stratagem.

The wording of the strat is simple. 2CP, a Drukhari unit (except flyers) can move 7" after shooting. No other restrictions written.

So:

- we can move, shoot forward and charge with Talos units for 15+2d6 inches or 15+3d6 on turns 2+. Cool.

But more importantly:

- we can deesptrike or arrive from any kind of reserves 9" away from an enemy unit, shoot, move 7", charge with a 100% accuracy. WHAT?

Or am I wrong? Is there anything I'm missing here?

"Reinforcement units cannot make a Normal move, Advance, Fall Back or Remain Stationary in the turn they arrive for any reason" - quoted from the Core Rule book, and also applies to Strategic Reserves. So no, the second option is not possible.

You're right, it says 'normal move of 7"' literally.

Just when I was dreaming about 20 wyches assaulting out of the webway...

um... forget out of the webway.. are you saying that you can now charge after a fire and fade, or whatever the heck it is called now?

That would be HUGE.

Unfortunately not.

"Until the end of turn, that unit is not eligible to declare a charge."


It's a shame as that would have been an awsome trick to have up our sleeve.

It does mean that in Aeldari soup you can now Fire and Fade a Craftworld/Harlequins/Ynnari unit while Never Stationarying a Drukhari unit in the same phase. Before you were limited to one Fire and Fade per phase across the whole army. That's worth losing Power from Pain for, right?

Actually, the new wording of the Drukhari stratagem (Edit: in the Spanish book) really lets you charge, as long as you're not coming from reserves. So the first of my two ideas really applies.

Edit: I've read the italian stratagem page, and it actually keeps you from charging. Duh.

Note to self: let's wait for FAQs before reading too deep into the rules
