If you use your storm boy's rokkit pack in the assault phase instead of movement, do you get the extra d6 of movement of the charge from their rokkit packs if they didn;t use them in the movement phase??

No. However you can reroll charge distance dices, and gain HoW.

Would you at least get d6 extra inches after you make the charge?

That doesn't make any sense... what exactly are you asking?

You have used the jump packs in the assault phase. You successfully make the charge. Would you than roll an extra d6 as per the jump pack rules to get more guys into melee.

No. That's not as per the JP rules at all.

You would pile in at your initiative as per the close combat rules.

I meant the storm boys rokkit pack. They add an extra d6 anytime you use them to move or fall back. It is storm boy specific to their jump pack. Should have been more specific.

if it says move and fall back, then no. not in charges. That means you can go 12+1d6 in movement.

An assault move IS a move, however, so you would move 3D6" from my reading

If that were the case, you'd have to roll that extra d6 separately as it can have negative effects. I'm doubtful on this one though.

By that logic, fall back is also a move and shouldn't need to be specifically stated in the rules (like charge isn't). I think "move" is what you do in the movement phase, even if a charge/assault does literally force you to move.

Still, I see your point. If you don't use it to move, it would stand to logic that you can use it to assault and gain the same benefit, since the pack does specify that it has this effect every time you use it.

But lke what was said, you need to roll 2+1D6, since a 1 on that last D6 could kill an ork

Indeed, you do need to know which is the extra D6

Remember the Ork book was 4th edition, when you *never* used your jump pack on the assault move, just "movement" phase (if you wanted) and falling back (no choice), so the specificity is now strictly a reminder, as there are otehr points at which you can use a jump pack now.

Assault moves are defined as a normal move, with some exceptions, so they definitely get their bonus if they use their packs at this point.

Yeah, I've changed my mind. Nos's reading is a better application and I would go with that.

Stormboyz never get an extra d6 movement, aside from the 3d6 fall back moves all jump infantry get. The extra d6 mentioned in the rokkit pack rules is only to see if one of them explodes while using their packs.

Don't mind me I can't read.

Oh wow, nevermind me, just derpin' around on the internet. I never even noticed that part of the paragraph. I guess I just read the consequences of rolling a one and assumed that losing a boy 1 in 6 moves was the price we paid for cheap jump infantry. Yeah, I'm on board with 3d6 charge move now.

This makes Zagstruck really good
