Can you Assault the same turn you assault, I've bin looking in the Rulebook and can't find it

Any help would great!

**Mannahnin**

Yup. It's just another way of entering the table in reserve. Remember that any other prohibitions will still apply; so if you're driving on in a non-Open-Topped transport, you won't be able to.

**Rogueyopants**

O Alright cheers, so when you deep strike, you can Assault as well

**Mannahnin**

Did you read my second sentence?

**Rogueyopants**

lol true, misunderstood, my bad

**Mr Gold**

I apologize for digging this old thread.

My question is: if a unit is outflanking, for example, a unit of genestealers. Say a roll of 6, and the owning player choose his right table edge.

How many inch should the unit deploy from the right-side table edge? Is it 6" or 12"?

**rigeld2**

Its a normal move on, and since stealers move 6" (like the rest of the universe...)

**Bash**

Like he said and remember that you can't move after outflanking (you can still run and assault) because outflanking counts as your move.

I take that as 'deploy at-least 6" from the table edge', right?

**nosferatu1001**

No, up to. Stealers can move up to 6" when moving on from reserve, as that is their normal move

**jdjamesdean@mail.com**

Yep, normal Movement starts at the Board Edge.

They missed their deployment at the beginning of the game. No such thing as a second Chance =D

Which makes their assault range between 13" to 18" (fleet), correct?

**DeathReaper**

That is correct, 6" move, run 1-6, 6" assault measured from the table edge as if they were just off the table with their base flush with the edge.

**Mannahnin**

Deathreaper has it exactly.
