Hit and Run seems pointless to me. With my harlequins, they are safest in CC. Why would I exit CC?

So that the weapons that deliver Hammer of Wrath at increased value can do it again. You Hit and Run at the end of your opponent's turn, meaning their turn is done, you move forward again, shoot again and charge again.

Oh, on their turn... that makes a lot more sense. I forgot it was any assault phase.

I've love to see Hit and Run tweaked to be similar to getting hit with a sweeping advance, but instead of losing the unit, if you fail you're just stuck in combat. Getting away from an Initiative 8 Daemon Prince shouldn't be as easy as getting away from Initiative 2 Plaguebearers.

That is how Mephiston defeats Kaldor Draigo. Or anything with jump packs or cavalry.

Mephiston doesn't have Hit and Run... Neither do Jump packs or Cavalry.
PS: Draigo would destroy Mephiston on his own.

Hit'n'run can also be used to ''spring board'' your Harlequins/Solitaire to were they want to be. 3D6 is quite a long way really, especially if you do it in the opponents turn, as then you also get your 6'' move, run and charge.

Either A) directly through a wall so you can't be attacked (flip belts FTW) B) into rough terrain if the Hit'n'runner is, say, a Path of Heroes Solitaire, C) onto an objective for maelstrom, D) away from enemy combatants if you have Veil of Tears up E) back into a Starweaver if you wanna move....

Just because a rule isn't always good to use 100% of the time don't mean it's bad to have

If both players have a unit with Hit&Run locked in CC, which one will go first? Highest Int?

I thought it was a roll off. Or was that older editions?

You assault on your turn and stay in combat. Their turn, they cannot shoot you, assault phase ends, use hit and run to leave combat. It's your turn again. Shoot them and their charge again. You basically gain all the invulnerability of being locked in combat while getting both your shooting attacks and bonuses for charging over and over again.
