Hi wise rulekeepers,

It's no news to you that april 2019 FAQ has disappeared and along with it this question / answer :

Q: If a unit is affected by a rule that forces it to fight after all other units able to fight have done so, such as the effects of the Paroxysm psychic power, the Vexator Mask or the Armour of Russ, can it still be affected by the Counter-offensive Stratagem?

A: Yes, the Counter-offensive Stratagem allows a unit to fight outside of the normal fight order (i.e. the Stratagem does not give a unit the ability to fight first in the Fight phase, it simply instructs you to pick a unit and fight with it next).

Is there anything in 9th edition rulebook that has changed regarding this stratagem or any clarification that I missed regarding how these rules interract ?

Thanks,
N.

The FAQ is still in effect by virtue of the 9th Edition ruleset. Counter-Offensive allows you to pick an eligible unit and fight with it next. Per the rules for the Fight Phase, "an eligible unit is one that is within Engagement Range of an enemy unit and/or made a charge move in the same turn". Thus a unit under an effect that would cause it Fight Last that is an eligible unit may be selected to fight with Counter-Offensive.
