So I have a unit of Bikes/Jetbikes and an IC with a Jump/Jet pack.

Can the IC run as long as coherency is maintained?

Can the unit Turbo-Boost as long as coherency is maintained?

For "run", it states that "units" run, and as the bikes cannot RAW I do not think they can, however myself, and a LOT of players, have no issue with you doing so.

Similar to the number of players who, in 4th and 5th, WOULD let an IC with jump pack move away from an infanty unit using the pack, even though a strict reading of the rules didnt let you.

Well the Bikes entry states that the bikes themselves turbo, not the unit, so I think that's ok.

As for running, I see it like this: I activate the unit to run, the bikes are prohibited from doing so, in which case only the IC runs.

I think that's the right answer, the bikes would pretty much sit there while the IC runs, or you could choose to shoot with the unit and declare that the bike is turbo-boosting instead while the IC stands there.

I created a thread about this not to long ago...


Run, units run, if models in your unit cannot run, ie Bikes/Jetbikes the unit cannot choose to Run.

Turboboost, the wording of turboboost has no unit restriction and models turboboost individually.

Jetpack Thrust move, again uses the unit phrasing and is the most ambiguous of the bunch stating a "jet pack unit" can make a thrust move. I see this in the same light as declaring a run, but many others feel differently.

Jetbike Assault Move, again no unit restriction and is model specific.
