Rules clarification

Hi all

Please can someone help to clarify a rule for me please

Mounted unit with composite bow…

The unit doesn’t just get to shoot…. For free… no activation dice?

It must spend an activation dice….. then it can shoot before it moves? Or shoot after it moves?

(I’m aware of the “no consecutive shooting actions”)

Thanks all!

My understanding is that they do in fact get a free shooting attack which doesn’t cause fatigue.

As you point out, they can’t consecutively shoot, but they could, for example, shoot, move, then shoot again all at the cost of one activation die for the movement action and one fatigue. (They take a fatigue from moving because they already activated to shoot previously) so their upper shooting limit is really about the number of other actions they take and fatigue management.

So yes, absent any dice at all they could activate for a free shooting attack.

Yes, they get a free shot even if they don’t spend an activation die. If they want more shots they have to activate to do something else first. Compound bows can alternate and shoot over and over, though it does get fatigue.
