Hey folks,
Surely this has come up: but

Let's say I have reserved fliers, and I haven't been able to deal with my opponents long ranged skyfire/interceptor guns (cough Tau cough).

Let's say it's turn 2, and I successfully get my flier to come in. The only problem is, I know it's gonna pop when it ends it's move ANYWHERE on the board due to some "fishy" firing from the afore mentioned skyfire/interceptor/ignores cover hijinks. May I fly in obliquely in order to fly off a table edge immediately - in my movement phase? Or must I wait to flat out off in my firing phase... at which point... why bother.

Thanks,
DrG

Nope, a flier may not fly off of the board on the turn in which it flies on.

Do you have a page number for that? I can't find it.

I know it is there somewhere, just need ti make a thorough check when i get home from the gym.

RB FAQ p6 disallows it.

Even without the FAQ, page 80 disallows it under 'Zoom', 2nd paragraph.
