Q: Does the special ability Black Ops work
during the first round?
A: Yes
I hope thats mistake . If Unit is not on the board it should not be allowed to use Abilities.
Black Ops
Seems ok to me, no reason to disalow it as its the sort of skill that could be used pre-battle.
Thats the way I have been playing.
Perfectly reasonable to me. As the units are entering the board, the blackops guy should already be doing his work.
Ok. Vox Populi vox dei - my allied opponents will be happy.
I have a problem with unit using its abilities when its not in play ....but i guess its aesthetics thing . For me egzistence of things start when they enter board, not when they are added to army list.
Someone now can try to argue that black ops works after joe death. Or indirect altilery shot before it enters field ...

No, because Joe has to be in the force, he's not if he's removed as a casualty, and no to indirect artillery because the rules do not give that option.

Hey i hear you and understand - but still don like it. In force means - on army list - and for me its not enough ...
In force or removed as casualty means nothing for me - there are not in game - and remeber that they can be brought back .
"no to indirect artillery because the rules do not give that option" is there anything in rules of indirect fire that unit have to be in play?
Once again i agree thats the new interpretation and i agree it make sens - for me its just not elegant if you now what i mean.
didn't really think that anyone would play it any different. we also played it the FAQ way from the beginning.
