Captain Sicarius can give a tactical squad a special rule (infiltrate, tank hunters etc.)
The question is, what happens to a tactical squad that is is combat squaded?
Do both combat squads get the bonus or the player must choose which?

Thanks!

Nothing in Sicarius entry or the Combat Squads rule suggests that the squad would lose or have to give the bonus skill to one part. So until someone finds out different I'll say both combat squads will benefit from that same bonus skill.

Assuming it is assiged before deployment, both parts of the CS get the rule.

For a similar situation see the GK FAQ and Grand Strategy

Yeah it gets split up. Easy way to think of it is that the squad is part of sicarius' personal retinue and that they just decided to split up in battle.

Why should it be part of his retinue??

That was just fluff text. ;-)

They're his most trusted veterans and have certain skills. They don't lose the skills for combat squadding.
