Hi all,

could you help me? My question is:

I'm playing in Command phase strategy card, which have the word "Command phase" topmost in their text box and on this card is also keyword "Determine drift" (example: Paratroopers, Supply drop...). What is my drift number whenn I'm rolling for drift (is it 6?) ?

Thx

It explains the drift number on page 43 of the rules. The lower the drift number the better.

If NO non-fatigued friendly unit has LOS on target hex then drift number is 6.

If a non-fatigued unit DOES have LOS on target hex then drift number is 4.

If a non-fatigued squad with an officer has LOS to target hex then drift number is 3. Also if the target hex is next to or on the same hex as a friendly unit then the drift number is also 3.

Then roll 2 die of different color to determine drift and direction as normal.

Which is why it is a good idea to put a squad with officer in Op Fire mode if you plan to use such a card in the following command phase. That way you will have a non-fatigued squad with an officer available to spot for your paratroopers or objective points. Otherwise, it is best to them on top of or adjacent to one of your units.

Aha!

I'm doesn't know, that unit in Op-fire mode is not understand as tired for these purposes. Thanks a lot for explanation.

Thats a good point Klaus. I never even thought of that.

Yes the op fire unit counts as having non-fatigued LOS. Because it is not fatigued. Only the lighting bolt symbol means a unit is fatigued.
