So I was looking in the rulebook, and didnt see it in the index. I hear people talk about "OMG Link teams combo so good!11!" I have never used them, ever. Here is some questions fi anyone who has a good grip on it can help a poor noob understand...

1. This a Sectorial only thing? OR can Basic army lists use them?

2. How is this different from the command token corronated order?

3. How does this work? such as I have aleph Myrimadons (bad spelling) and they can link. I spend 1 order and they all must do the same thing? Aka 1 order and they all move and shoot? Or move move?

4. AROS agaisnt them, 1 enemy model can only do 1 ARO on 1 or the link guys?

5. If they all shoot does just 1 guy shoot but he gets bonus B? Also bonus B in a ARO?

Anything else to help me understand this would be great

Link teams are a Human Sphere book thing so not in the main book.

It is generally a Sectorial only thing with the exception of the Tohaa.

For most of your questions I would hit up the newly released N3 faqs for HS and Paradiso.

1- Sectorial Only

2- Link Teams are completely different from coordinated, on a link your linked troops move together (always in Zone of Control of the Link Leader) during your Active Turn only the link leader gets to act but gets certain bonuses depending on how many members the link has.

3- Myrmidons can only link with Myrmidon Officers, Patroclus, Fenix, Ajax, Eudoros and Macaon, and only up to four members, on the other hand they get to have as many links as officers they can deploy.

Link Teams are on the Human Sphere Rules, which are here: http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/downloads/rules/%5Ben%5DRulesHS.pdf

4-The enemy can only ARO to the link once per activation, example: 3 Myrmidons and Fenix, link moves and all enter in Line of Fire of a Sniper, Sniper can Shoot Fenix or any of the other Myrmidons, but only one of them.

5- In Active Turn only the Link Leader can shoot, and he gets the bonuses, in ARO they all have to declare the same ARO or the link breaks, yes, in ARO all members get the bonuses
