Strike & Fade...movement

[sgt. dekkard]

when a vehicle has a S&F of 1 (re: Archer) can it move into cover on the strike and fade? Does it automatically get in? does it have to roll to enter even though it doesn't have enough movement (usually needs 2). I know I'm probably wrong and i'll get a resounding NO!, but I can'r help wishing.

See page 23, "Minimum Movement."

Minimum movement applies only during the Movement phase, while Strike & Fade applies only during the Assault phase. The Archer can enter a town hex to get cover with S&F, or it can enter a forest or hill along a road. But with speed 1, it can't enter a forest or hill off a road during the Assault phase.

In other words, NO!

okay...that's what I thought...one more silly question. what if i'm already in a forest hex and i want to move to another forest hex (they're attached) the rules say i need 2 movement to do so, so does that mean i can't do it with S&F?

You could with Strike & Fade 2 (and a movement roll), but not with S&F 1.
