Was playing against a tyranid army today. My friend set his Lictors in a building about 18 cm from my Kroots setup. Then it was time for my Kroots to make their infiltration move (a free charge). So I charged the Lictros and came into CC before the combat even started. "I thought Jesus. Can this really happen"

When the combat started both the lictors and the Kroots were on FF. And I thought.. Ok, they cant shoot since they are in CC and they couldnt snap since it was before movement. Soooo... Now they fight in CC... The whole situation felt strange and I didnt know what to say. Perhaps I wasnt even allowed to charge him with the free charge but as far as I know there in no such rule about infiltration. Only about his lictors but he put his there first. Finally I allowed him to shoot since he was there first. He missed so it all sorted itself out in the end. Where did I go wrong? What should we have done?

Thankful for some insight.

I thought the infiltration move could not approach the troops closer than a certain distance to opponent troops.

Edit, here is the infiltration rule (part related to your problem is underlined):

Special Ability: Infiltration
These units are stealthy and able to sneak closer to the enemy before the shooting starts. Infantry and Walker-class units may move double their normal movement rate after setup is complete, and Cavalry & Vehicles may move normally. This move may not bring the unit closer than 5 cm to an enemy model.

Yes I think you can move(only) up to 5 cm to an enemy unit not in base contact

If 2 units survive CC in the first turn(in base contact) for example
IMO nobody should be allowded to shoot in the second turn

@ scream youre too fast for me
