So, we've been playing 40k for a while, but we got one question unanswered, can you move, shoot assault weapon and charge in the same turn? I've been searching the rulebook but cant find the answer.

thanks

Yes.

This is the purpose of "assault" weapons. They allow you to charge AFTER firing them.

As opposed to 'Rapid-fire' and 'heavy' types (barring USRs).

You may make as assault move, that is a basic permission.

If you fire certain weapons you may then normaly not assault, as Chromedog says - rapid fire and heavy being the two main ones. THis is because they specifically say you cannot assault after firing.

Assault weapons dont have this restriction, so you fall back on the general allowance you have, whcih is you can assault

What you're looking for is on page 9 of the rulebook. Another things of interest is page 2 where they explain Dice and Rerolls.

It's easy to jump over the first pages but if you're new it's usually a good idea to go through those anyway. The more rules you check before the game the less you'll have to look up when playing. In theory at least... we always seem to get an argument or two in bigger games just because we're old and remember many different editions of the game. ;-)
