Due to the new FAQ, if I throw a krak grenade in overwatch does that mean I can no longer use a krak grenade in the fight sub phase?

**CrownAxe**

By RAW that is correct

**Remmick_005**

What about Defensive grenades; they are auto-used, correct?
if you are charged, does this mean that you can't use grenades in the first round of combat due to using defensive grenades?

The once per phase rule only applies attacking with them

I thought the statement was that you can only use one grenade per phase, not make one attack.

Defensive grenades' attack penalty simply takes effect if you possess them and has nothing to do with "using" them.

This. The FAQ states rules that only state "equipped" will work even if you are not/cannot use the Wargear.

Unless it contradicts the one grenade used per turn. The FAQ group has a lot of contradictions...
