So ork mob may substitute their ld with the number of orks in the mob. So lets say I have 20 ork boyz in cc and they lose by 7 wounds because their mob rule they are fearless so they stay in combat. What if I do not use mob rule and flee from combat and then use mob rule when I have to pass regroup test?

So the question is are my boyz always fearless when they have 11 or more boyz in a mob?

What is the exact wording of the Mob rule?

Mob rule isn't something that you can choose to ignore, if you have 11 or more boyz then YOU ARE FEARLESS. It used to be a tactic to charge a mob of 30 boyz with a sentinel walker and watch them not wound eachother for 4 turns, taking the boyz out of the game.

You are always fearless. The alowance to substitute your number is separate to the note that 11 or more is Fearless.

Does the ork codex say "may" or "always". I don't have mine here, I can't remember, but that's the decider.

You MAY swap your leadership for the number of models, but you ARE fearless above 10 models

Rule says that you may replace ld with the number of orks. If number of orks is 11 or more orks are fearless.

It's the "if" that I find confusing.

The "if" is a simple true / false condition which is set to "true" if you number 11 or more orks; the "then" is "fearless"
