| Post subject: | Crossfire Question |
Is it possible for a air unit to get crossfire from another unit on the ground? This came up in a game last night between my Eldar and my buddy's IG, with his thunderbolts strafing my Cobras that were within 30cm of his Baneblades. I gave it to him, but was a little skeptical about this. |

Nope, aircraft can't count for crossfire, they're specifically excluded. |

Here is the relevant paragraph from the rules Quote: 4.1.1 Aerospace Formations
Aerospace units are organised into formations just like any other unit. However, although aerospace formations do receive Blast markers, they cannot be broken or suppressed. In addition, they can’t be assaulted, lend support to an assault or be used by another formation to claim a crossfire, etc, while in the air. Once landed, an aerospace unit may be assaulted and be used in a crossfire, and is affected by Blast markers normally. |

strictly speaking, the rule simply says that an aircraft cannot provide the crossfire bonus to another unit. it doesnt say they cannot claim crossfire from another formation... |

Here is the FAQ that covers it all, should have gone there first! Quote: 4.1.1 Aerospace Formations
Q: Can you draw a Crossfire to or from an Aerospace formation? A: Yes and No. An Aerospace formation in flight cannot claim a Crossfire bonus (see section 4.2.2) and it cannot be used by another formation to generate a Crossfire bonus (see section 4.1.1). But an Aerospace formation that was landed could both claim the Crossfire bonus and also be used by other formations to generate the Crossfire bonus. |
