Arm X Question

By Lannes, in Rules

Maybe a silly question... can you arm a charge (possibly detonating it at the end of activation) and attack in the same activation?

Yes, Arm X is not counted as an attack action, so as your 2 actions you can Arm and Attack if you want.

I believe you could also detonate too after the attack action. Since detonate can be done after any unit performs an action. That said, if you arm, attack, detonate (I guess you can attack, arm, detonate too?) you miss out on being able to move out of the blast range :)

Yes, you can arm and detonate right after, as detonate can be done after any action and arm is indeed an action.

Ok, thank you.
