Yep. Searched first. MAssive crap-load of related stuff, but not this specifically.

Established stuff we agree on:
1. Chrono can be used once per phase.
2. Phases are - Movement. Shooting. Assault.
3. The Chrono can be used in the enemy's M, S & A, too.
4. Rule Book states there are 3 phases per Turn, M, S & A.

Got it. No Problem. Here's the problem:

Fran decides to reroll the Imo Storm at the beginning of Turn 2 because the first die came up '1'. She does the reroll and it's lights out for now (not important). Then Bob, her opponent, proceeds to start moving his units as it's his Turn. He tank rams one of Fran's Ghost Arks, in which the cryptek is embarked. She misses the Skimmer's Dodge roll.

Can she use the Chrono's reroll for the dodge or has the roll been used for Night-fighting? Or maybe a re-roll on Morale for a unit if it got Tank Shocked.

No, as "the start of the turn" is still part of the Movement phase. Chrono was already used during the current Movement phase.

And furthermore how could she ever use that chrono re-roll for a vehicle's dodge roll?!
That re-roll is strictly for the cryptek and his unit. Not the unit's transport.

Also, just for clarity, Imotekh must be joined to the unit with the Chronometron in order to benefit from it. You didn't say he wasn't, but...

It's a stretch on my part ... I was just looking for a re-rollable situation in the enemy's phase, like a Morale Check for Tank Shock.

To make things clearer, I'm not hunting for Easter eggs. I don't play 'Crons. My opponents do.

This was just an instance that came up against a Necron opponent.

Sorry. I posted with the assumption that Imo & Chrono-tek would be in the same unit.

As above; the start of the turn is the same thing as the beginning of the movement phase.

Note also that a 2d6 roll (like Morale) is a different thing from a d6 roll; a Chronometron only allows you to re-roll the latter, not the former.

Good point!

Except that I, among others, contend that a 2d6 roll, per the rule book, is two 1d6 rolls added together, and you can of course use chronometron on a 1d6 roll. Not trying to derail the thread, but that is a seperate rules issue with chronometron that features heavily.

So ... if I roll a 5 and a 6 for a Morale Check I fail. Then, per the Chrono, I can pick up one of them and reroll it?

I call shenanigans on that.

A 2d6 roll is not two d6 rolls.

Don't bother trying to convince me.

32 years of gaming (D&D basic!, Chainmail! Arduin Grimoire!) experience says no-way to your brand of ... well. I say 'no'.

DON'T DO IT!!!



In all seriousness, question has been answered.

So then Sezeras is able to reroll his augmentation effect if included with a Chronotek?

Szeras roll happens before deployment, which means, he could not be in a unit with an attached Cryptek in order to benefit from it's Chronometron. So, no Szeras could not.

If you were, in fact, being serious, which I don't think you were, but answered anyways.

How can you post a pic of Mr. Wilder as Charlie and then write, "In all seriousness" ?

I got a DVD of Young /fronk-en-schteen/ that says you can't do that.


But, yes, I agree. Q has been answered.

Edit: Please excuse this post, it is wrong. Everything about it was wrong, and you are wrong for reading it. Please, look away, or the things you type may turn out to be wrong as well.

I do not believe he can. The Mechanical Augmentation roll happens before deployment, which means Szeras would not be in a unit that has an attached Crytek with a Chronometron.

You are correct, I am wrong. I totally forgot when Szeras rolls for the Augs, so, as the roll happens before deployment, the Augmentation roll may not be re-rolled, as the roll doesn't happen in any phase.
