How exactly does hit and run work? What do they mean by 'initiative test' ? Is it the thingie where the opponent and myself roll a d6 against our respective iniatives? Can the hit and run thingie work on my opponents turn as well? Is hit and run a required thing or can I choose not to do it? and the final question... why is it that come summertime one feels compelled to flirt with anything with female chromosomes?

Like it says in the rulebook?

Yes No, it's a Characteristic Test as Detailed on Page 8

Yes, that's the whole point. You break off on your opponents turn then Charge in next turn.

It's Optional

Most Likely due to a hormonal change triggered by the lengthening days which indicate that it is an appropriate time to find a mate and begin breeding.

THANKS!


now for one more question...

No, no! That was the sound of one hand fapping. Big difference.

And the Sound is Obviously FREEM!

Yes

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong here, but an "initiative test" is simple a single roll that you make. You roll a D6 and have to roll equal to or under your initiative to pass. I don't have my rulebook here, but IIRC there is a specific definition of what a "characteristic test" is, which would make Hit and Run better in most cases, as you don't care what your opponents' initiative is, you just care about your own.

Unless you run Sisters of battle... then you use their own version where they auto get away

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the single D6 initiative roll is to flee from a lost combat / catch the fleeing unit in a sweeping advance, right? Wouldn't the test to hit and run be the usual 2D6 aiming for below your initiative?

Thats what I was thinking... That would be pretty tough with init 4

I have no clue how many D6s you roll because I've never had to deal with that rule before, either on my side or my opponents'. I'm sure it's written down clearly somewhere, and you'll probably have a more solid answer soon.

Right, I have gotten my hands on my rulebook, and in fact the Initiative test that the USR Hit & Run calls for is in fact, just a plain old Characteristic Test, as detailed on Page 8.

So in order to pass it, you would have to roll 1d6 equal to or less than your base, unmodified Initiative, with a roll of 6 always failing.

Of course this is only if you are using the USR Hit & Run and not the Unique rule found in the Witchhunters codex

A characteristic test is a single D6, with the target being equal to or less than the characteristic in question. A 6 always fails.

Thanks for all your input folks! I'm leaning a little bit closer to my sm biker army utilizing the white scars captain guy...
