Jump Packs
Infantry groups may jump for 3 AP’s.
Power and Dreadnought groups may jump for 4 AP’s.
Jumping although an excellent tactical weapon has its downfalls, a group may become out of communication range, jump slightly too hard and end up embedded in the planet surface upon landing or REALLY jump too hard and leave the planet altogether(not a nice way to go !).
When jumping role on the following table(2 D6):
Armour Type / Range 1-6 / Range 7-10Infantry groups / 1-10=ok, else dead / 1-8=ok, else dead
Power or Dreadnought / Ok / 1-7=ok, else dead
Assaulting using JumpPacks:
Units with jump packs may assault enemy squares at no additional cost to the jump
Eg: Inf assault using jump = 3AP’s, Power, Dreadnought = 4AP’s.
Transporter Packs- (Beaming)
Transporter packs may be used by Infantry only (not Power of Dreadnought).
If units have a transporter pack they may try to beam to another Open or Partial Terrain square (not Closed) at a cost of 2AP’s each:
Role 2D6 for each unit trying to beam
2-3Unit vaporized, no casualty marker left, does not count towards victory pts.
4-10Unit beamed without problem.
11Beam failed, no effect, may not try again this turn.
12Transporter pack break down – unit looses use of pack for rest of battle.
Units may perform no other actions in same turn once beamed.
Transpositional Vehicles (TV) - (Beaming)
Transpositional Vehicles cost 50pts. Once motivated (in usual manner, count as commander paid) the TV needs 4AP’s to beam any Infantry units in the same square (inc Power and Dreadnought) to another un-occupied Open or Partial Terrain square (not Closed). Units may perform no other actions in same turn once beamed.
TV’s have AE4 and no weaponry.
Drop Ships
May only be used after turn 1.

0 Vehicles.
1 Po + 2 Light Guns
1 Po + 8 Infantry.
1 Po + 5 Infantry + 2 Power Armour Infantry.
6 Power Armour Infantry.
3 Dreadnought Infantry.
Drop ships do not have their own weapons, cannot move ‘on table’ and have an armour value of 10 against guns.
A drop ships arrival must be rolled for at the end of the previous turn, roll 1D6, 1-4 no arrival, 5-6 arrives next turn, optional to player.
Groups may disembark from a Drop Ship the turn it arrives, usual rule applies for disembarking.
The Platoon inside a Drop Ship has its AP’s determined in the usual manner, as if it were onboard a truck.
If a Drop Ship is destroyed all loaded groups are also destroyed without rolling to save.
Groups may not enter/re-enter the Drop Ship.
A drop Ship gives closed terrain cover and cannot be fired over or past, except by mortars.
The platoon on board Drop Ships do not have to be declared to the opponent until its arrival, however they are paid for as part of the total force cost as normal.

Use Vehicle armour and infantry weapons unless a vehicle weapon is installed and paid for, cannot have vehicle and infantry weapon mix on one unit.
Move: ½ AP in open, partial and closed as infantry, 1AP to turn face any 360o.
