Hey,

Got a game today, my group and I have made some mistakes with the rules and a thought has just occurred to me that I'd like to be able to address if / when it comes up.

You use the overwatch stratagem when a unit declares a charge. I take it this means before the charge itself is rolled and models moved?

And presumably if the firing unit does not have line of sight to the charging unit when it declares the charge, it cannot use the overwatch stratagem?

Correct on all counts.

Thanks very much 👍

You can use the strategem also in the movemend phase, but are only allowed to use it ones per round. so you can use it in the enemys movement phase or the charge phase.

Really? Are you sure about using rapid ingress in the charge phase?

I'm looking at it in the app now. It's only listed under the movement phase stratagems, and the wording says:

When: at the end of your opponents move phase

???

Overwatch is being discussed.
Not Rapid Ingress.

My god 🤦🏼

Sorry, it's just been one of those days.

Happens. Don't worry too much about it.
