I hope I got the name of the equipment correct (running of memory after a game and not owning the DA codex myself).

Does the Banner give the +1A and reroll LD abilities to all models in the Squadron, even if the Squadron is split up upon deployment?

E.G: Squadron purchased = 6x Bikes (onew with the Banner), 1x Attack Bike, and 1x Landspeeder. The Squadron is deployed... 3x Bikes (one with Banner), 3x Bikes, 1x Attack bike, and 1x Landspeeder (so deployed as 4 different scoring units - at different locations over the table). Does the Ravenwig banner still effect each and every model in the 'Squadron', or only the unit of 3x bikes that includes the Banner bearer?

Book & page #'s would be appreciated in your replies.

Oh, and a really realy stupid question - Bike scout moves are up to 12 inches, yes?

Thanks

No, Ravenwing units that are split on deployment are separate units during the game.

The banner affects any unit within 12" of the banner so any split Ravenwing squad would have to be within 12" of the banner to benefit.

The banner rules are on page 45 and the Ravenwing combat squad rules (that explains they are separate units during the game) are on page 27.


And yes bike scout moves are indeed 12" (no turbo-boosting allowed per the codex).

They're seperate units, but part of the same squadron.

The standard's bonus applies to the squadron, not to a given unit.

You're right. I didn't read the rule closely enough. The morale re-roll is only for units within 12" of the banner but the Attack bonus is for the entire squadron and that certainly would apply regardless of whether they are split up or not.

But why do fearless ones need to reroll for morale?

they dont; but your normal pleb troopers might appreciate the bonus...
