Hey people, ive got a few questions about turbo boosting eldar bikes and the whole battle focus mechanic for certain units.
1. If you shoot on your jetbike can you still turbo boost away after?
2. Are there any units that cant actually use battle focus? I know the rule says units that run, but does that include war walkers? (Like did gw just throw that rule onto everything for the sake of not having to go through every unit?)
3. When exactly can a jetbike turbo boost and what is the downside aside from snap shots the next turn.

Thanks in advance, im sure the rules are somewhere in the rule book but im damn near dyslexic when i read big long paragraphs.

1) no. Jetbikes can only shoot or turboboost. Battletrance does not benefit them since it doesn't permit similar things to "run".
2) Jetbikes have the rule but cannot benefit.
War walkers move like infantry and do benefit.
3) Boost or shoot.

Do you have to snap shoot when you turbo in this ed?

No.

Or in any prior edition, that I am aware of.

The snap-shot bit sounded like a mix-up with the Jink USR. Since the bikes can jink, the confusion is probable.

Here is the sequence of operations for Eldar jetbikes

1) Movement phase: They can move

2) Shooting phase: They can shoot OR turboboost, never both

3) Assault phase: they can assault the unit they shot at,
-OR move additional 2D6,
-OR nothing if they just turboboosted.

4) Enemy's turn they get shoot at: choose to JInk and snap fire next turn, OR choice not to Jink and fire normally, even if they turboboosted in their prior turn.
