So for the emperors shield infantry platoon they have a special rule called marching drill.

Marching dril: the platoon can issue the 'fire and advance!' Order to one unit from its infantry platoon, in addition to any other orders it issues.

So does this mean he can issue first rank fire, second rank fire then issue marching drill to another unit?

Or does it mean you add marching drill to the list of orders the platoon command squad can issue?

Thanks for the replies!

Marching Drill isn't an order. And the Marching Order rule doesn't tel you to add the "Fire and Advance" order to the PCS's list of orders

What? It's says "the platoon commander can issue the 'fire and advance!' ORDER to one unit from its infantry platoon, in addition to any other orders it issues".

I don't know what you're saying. It clearly says it's an order???

What I'm asking is if I order one unit frfsrf then would I be able to order another unit marching drill which makes the ordered unit make a shooting attack and they count as being stationary even if they moved in preceding movement phase.

Yeah Fire and Advance is the order, not Marching Drill. Marching Drill is the rule that gives you access to the order.

And what you are asking is literally the rule tells you you can do

Oh okay I see what I did, that's my fault. But alright I figured I would ask on here before it was brought up in a game. Trying to go through the whole cadian stuff and clarify any rules that pop up.

Thanks!

Yup. If it said "may also issue the order 'Fire And Advance'" or "add Fire And Advance to the list of orders" or similar, then no, but it's pretty explicit that you get an extra order 'slot' per turn that you can only use for Fire And Advance.

I'd recommend bringing along some heavy weapons to take advantage.....
