Hi everyone!

Usually the leader ability lets you remove one additional BM when regrouping or rallying.

What if I have a broken formation and I rally them, usually they get BMs for half the units. So what about leader in this case?

If I have, say, 6 units, broken formation; I manage to rally them, I get 3 BM. If I had a leader, would the unit only get 2 BMs?

what do you think?

cheers,
M

Hi!

I read the same in the rulebook. I was just not sure because the text is about removing extra BMs.

When regrouping or rallying when not broken you get to remove BMs. But when you rally a broken formation, you actually do not remove BMs, you get BMs. So I was not sure...

anyway, it makes kind of more sense this way, so I'll play it like this in the future!

thanks :)

cheers,
M

This is incorrect; when you rally you get Blast markers and then remove half:

Quote: 

1.14.1 Rallying Formations

A broken formation that rallies is no longer
broken. It counts as having as many Blast markers as units,
half of which will be removed for passing the Rally test. For
example, a broken formation with seven units that rallied
would no longer be broken and would receive three Blast
markers.
