Hello.

What does the "Evasive" rule do? I cannot find it anywehere.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The Raven Strike Fighter is in the IA autonotica book.

I can't find that one anywhere.
Not in BRB, IAA nor ForgeWolds FAQ.
Possibly something to do with Evade (just a guess though).

At a guess, it's a 3rd party (forge world) misprint of the word 'Evade'. Does the book itself list any effects for it or indicate where you should go to check out what it means?

Non at all. It's just listed in their special rules.
All flyers have the option to evade. Perhaps it's intended as a permanent Jink. Still just a guess. Or a misprint.

The only "Raven Strike Fighter" I know of is in IAA (2nd ed) and does not have that special rule. Only Deep Strike, Night Vision, Vector Dancer, Supersonic and Strafing Run.

Evasive is a new rule for the Raven in the Aeronautica Imperialis book - which has some good stuff in there, such as Vampires now being AV 11 - but like the OP, I searched high and low for the meaning, without success. From the sounds of it, it might mean that the Raven always gets its Evasive/Jink save, or they could have been intending to make it Agile like the Nightwing, Hellblade, etc and just slipped up. And you probably wouldn't see that rule in the IAA, as it only covers Universal Special Rules (i.e. the Raven's Sky Assassin rule isn't listed there either)

I seem to remember that Evasive gives +1 to the vehicles Jink save.

EDIT. Nope, just checked. I got it mixed up with the Agile rule. I have no idea what Evasive does. :(

Maybe they meant Agile?

They could mena agile but the old fluff for agile was that the eldar fighters had the titan holofield, witch gave +2 to cover saves if you moved. There is little reason why it should have agile.

Also, it tok a point increase of 40%. Something that seems odd. The only thing we do not know the rule for is the evasive rule.

So best bet would be to wait for a FAQ? It is not like they have not made mistaces before. (Se the corsair army list. They are refering to things that are not there.)

Evasive currently does not exist as a rule in Aeronautica, or anywhere. Who knows that it does...
