Hi - just getting round to looking at the changes. Am I right in thinking that Flat Out is specifically carried out in the Shooting Phase rather than just longer movement, foregoing any shooting whatsoever.. I am just seeking clarification really:

Vehicles - Movement phase: Combat up to 6" or Cruising up to 12" Shooting Phase: Flat Out +6" Maximum range 18"
Fast Vehicles - Movement phase: Combat up to 6" or Cruising up to 12" Shooting Phase: Flat Out +12" Maximum range 24"
Fast Skimmers - Movement phase: Combat up to 6" or Cruising up to 12" Shooting Phase: Flat Out +18" Maximum range 36"
Eldar Jet Bikes - Movement phase: Combat up to 6" or Cruising up to 12" Shooting Phase: Flat Out +36" Assault Phase Move (Max from 2D6) 12" Maximum range 60"

P.45 BRB deals with Eldar Jet Bikes
P.72 BRB deals with Flat Out
P.83 BRB deals with Fast / Fast Skimmers

Thanks

Fast Skimmers - 12" + 18" is 30", not 36

Yes, Eldar jet bikes can go that fast.

Damn my maths...

But other than that, everything got a lot more mobile!

Thanks

Perhaps not quite on topic but jetbikes/bikes aren't vehicles. They move up to 12" without any mention of Combat or Cruising speed.

True enough - they move 12" with no penalty to what they can fire.

Everything is now at least 6" faster, jet bikes up to 36".....

IIRC Eldar Jetbikes can't move in the Assault Phase if they move Flat Out in Shooting Phase, as Flat Out states you can't make any further voluntary options, but I don't have book on me to confirm.

Thanatos is correct, jetbikes cannot make any more voluntary actions after turbo-boosting.

Edit: (I wrongly said they could, as I thought they moved flat-out instead of turbo-boosting)

Gotcha - just read the Turbo Boosting section above the Eldar Jetbikes box on P.45. I did think 60" was a little, um, excessive, even for [Dark] Eldar...
