Okay, I can live with this, I just wanted it spelled out
plainly. I'm going to take the part of the "interested
but-know-nothing-newbie" and I'm going to ask all the
'stupid' questions so we don't get stuck with a 18 page FAQ.
I reccomend under Snap Fire:
8. Units with robotic minds (or spirit stones) do not fire
at a -1 penalty.
9. Once a Unit performs Snap Fire they may not move or fire
again in this turn.
ANOTHER QUESTION: I have a detachment of 5 Predators. During
my opponents move I snap fire with only 3 of them. May the last
two still fire in the First Fire phase or did the Snap Fire
use up the actions of them all?
If the Snap Fire uses up the action of them all then I recommend
that #9 change to:
9. Once a Unit or Detachment performs Snap Fire they may not
move or fire again in this turn.
