If you reed the rules in the rulebook at rage it says :

1.In movement: you must move toward the closest visible enemy

2.Shooting- RUN toward the closest visible enemy
OR shoot

3."In the assault they must also consolidate" toward the closest visible enemy

Problems :

3.To consolidate or to assault?

a.If I am subject to rage I can consolidate? toward the enemy? OR I should assault?

b.If I shoot must I shoot the closest visible enemy?or may I shoot whom I like?

Thank you and Good Hunting

2) you can't shoot, you can only decide whether you want to run or not. The reason you would want to not run is that you could have rage but not fleet.

3) It says nothing about which unit you have to assault, only that after you have killed your enemy, you have to move toward the closest foe, no hiding in cover for you!

I am in the assault phase

I have 10 inches toward the enemy.I can not assault..must I consolidate ? and If I can assault must I assault?

You only consolidate *after* you have won combat and either kiled or broken the enemy.

So, if you wipe an enemy unit out in assault you then consolidate D6". Rage requries that THIS consolidate move is towards the enemy.

If you are 10" away, and are infantry, you cannot assault if you are Rage or not.

!

Rage does *not* prevent you from shooting.

I thought you could not consolidate into enemy units anymore, this kinda renders rage (and feed for nids) useless if its true.

You can't consolidate into enemy units, but that doesn't mean you can't consolidate toward the closest enemies...

Also, you can shoot in the shooting phase, but if you run you have to run toward the closest visible enemy.

Unlike most of the USRs, Rage isn't meant to be a good thing. It's a negative trait, usually balancing out superior CC abilities or the like.

So after all are you allowed to SHOOT if you have RAGE??
It says you can choose to run...

Right; it says you can choose to run, it doesn't say you can't choose to shoot. Unless I'm missing something, in the shooting phase you could:

- Shoot;
- Stand there;
- Run, but if you run you have to run toward the closest enemy.

Even from a fluff perspective it wouldn't make sense to prevent the unit from unloading with pistols or something before they assault.

It also doesn't say you have to assault, but most likely at some point after the forced movements in the movement phase, if you don't your dudes are just standing there in front of the enemy getting shot up. It just says that if you do win a close combat, you have to consolidate toward the closest visible enemy.

Just to be thorough.


Nids IB of FEED, grants Rage *and* says they can't shoot.
I hate that part....

Good job..tha tmeans every one else can shoot...nice job
