Question: Do multiple (Shared) Abilities Stack?

So my question is in the title: Do multiple (Shared) Abilities Stack?

So I was reading through the Heroes section for the allies and noticed that Priest has Agile (pg 53). I checked out Agile and it is a shared ability that gives models in a unit with 1 or more models with the Agile ability an extra 6"s of movement each time the unit moves. So it make a unit with a 6" move have a 12" move each time it makes a move action.

Then I flip the page and notice Fast (pg 55) which is also a Shared ability that allows a unit to move an extra 6"s once per turn when making a move action. I am very familiar with the Fast rule as it is what makes the Hell Boys, BBQ Squad, and the Blackhawk really nasty units.

However what happens when Priest joins a unit of Hell Boys or a BBQ Squad? If the abilities stack (which I think the shared rules imply) a fast unit with Priest joined to them could move (assuming it has both actions) 18 inches and the shot its guns or double move 30 inches. That is pretty crazy. What do you guys think?

Agile does not give an extra 6" each time you move, it only gives you an extra 6" when it makes a "Move Reaction".

Well look at that, your right. Thanks for pointing that out.

Okay guys, move along, nothing to see here… sigh.

In addition to what Dcal stated the fast ability cannot be used in conjunction with a reaction move.
