Popping smoke for me. And the one time I do remember, the only vehicle that didnt shoot all game was a Bane Wolf...without smoke launchers.

The S of hits to units from exploding vehicles. I'll never remember.

Psychic powers. Playing Grey Knights with a Librarian means I have lots of powers to play with, and they all need to be used at different times. A lot of times I get halfway through a phase before I remember to use a power.

I see quite a bit of smoke launchers.
I forgot those existed.

I've seen quite a few people forget that Fearless =/= auto-pass leadership test.

Depends on who you play with, but based on some of the threads and posts here on dakka it would seem that this is fairly true.

I just misuse wound allocation, which is a pity because I don't have any multiwound models :p

That the Masque has hit and run.

I will say one trick to remembering guard orders to think of it as a separate, additional phase..movement, orders, shooting, assault, etc.

I have seen countless people forget the vehicles in CC thing, which took me a couple games against orks to remember pretty firmly.

I always forget the stormcaller rule (the roll at the beginning of the turn)

Sometimes, and to my advantage i have forgotten to shoot my drop pod weapons. Occasionally i'll forget to shoot my additional wepon through lumbering behemoth as well

Luckily it is not optional and I usually remember after the first turn or just before my boys get into combat and roll then.

If you forget during deployment, you don't get to roll.

Everyone forgets it's 3" to capture, and 6" to contest.

And I always forget to Pop Smoke. And to go to ground.

Because it's not. In either of the book Objective missions.

At the end of the game you control an objective if there is at least one of your scoring units, and no enemy unit (any unit, whether scoring or not), within 3" of it.

i forget my deep striking terminators all the time

The rule I see most TFGs forgetting is the Most Important Rule.

"the most important rule is to have fun." naaah that can't be it. It has to be something much more arcane and secret. (walks away mumbling to himself).............

I used to always forget to take Target Priority Tests with my Black Templars. Probably because it's a stupid rule that technically doesn't even exist any more >.<.

I always forget the GK Grand Master's Grand Strategy. Because it's the only special ability I've ever used that has to be used during deployment, so I'm just going through my usual routine of getting my units in order, reserves sit over here, etc. And it's a shame too, as I specifically shelled out for it rather than using a brother-captain.

Murrdox wrote:We always forget Night Fighting rules whenever we roll up a Dawn of War game.

Every. Single. Time.

By turn 2 or 3 someone will remember "Oh we didn't roll for Nightfighting on turn 1!"

This...Oh very much this.

Most people tend to forget that it is actually a TWO player game.

Everyone is so focused on there own armies etc. they lose the concept that playing a spammed out GK list is not FUN for the other guy, unless your in a tournament.

I've been playing granades against a walker in CC wrong, I've been determining it based on Weapon Skill all the time (you are only suppose to if the dread is stunned/immobalized) other times it's 6's to hit.

I always forget the "don't press dat" rule until i read through the codex at the end of the day for fun.

Deepstriking terminators.

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

I tend to forget that Landspeeders Deepstrike and not Outflank. I play Orks so I probably confuse it with Koptas.

The rule that specifies that when your fall back roll result is snake eyes, you stay locked in combat. I think its called "Insane Heroism" or something like that.

Either way, I forget it almost every time.

No such rule.
Snake eyes ona morale check always passes - you're right on the name of the rule.

Page 43 in the BRB.

If picking sides, and deploying first are the same roll. I don't know how.
Also, I always remember stealth suits rules when I use them, but never when I play against them.

Yeah thats what I had to do. And yet I STILL forget them at times. I'm busy making a guardsman with a sign that says "REMEMBER YOUR ORDERS STUPID" so I can hopefully prevent that in the future

I also forget nightfighting constantly. I hate it, and always feel bad when it's turn 2 or 3 and we both remember

You mean the unit drops 25% and you forget a Morale Check or are you talking about Phase Out ... from the previous / obsolete codex?

Eldar psy powers. Wraithsight.

Reserves.

Using Search Lights during DoW.

I keep forgetting that Dreadnoughts don't get armor saves because they are a vehicle even though they do most everything else like a guy. Still a noob though.

Well, they do. But it's lot harder to get them, need to have 50% obscured.
