Rules Clarification:  : Cavalry      (Edit)
(Click Expand to read)

• Although the core rulebook specifies mount weapons have 0.5" range, this doesn't "overwrite" models that have a longer mount range listed on their card. (Infernal Ruling)
• Mount Weapons are melee weapons. (Infernal Ruling) This means:
  • Mount Attacks can benefit from any buffs that affect "melee weapons" (such as Acidic Touch and Elasticity) or "melee attacks" (such as Battle Lust).
  • Mount Weapons can be used to make free strikes.
  • If the model doesn't have any regular melee weapon (such as the Gun Carriage) then it does have a melee range, can engage enemy models, and can make free strikes; anyway.
  • Despite being a melee weapon, you cannot use a Mount's special attack on the same activation you charge. (Infernal Ruling)
    • Exception: If you have Trampling Hooves, because that allows you to make charge attacks with your mount when you charge.
• Mount attacks will trigger "Melee attack" stuff like Battle Wizard.
• You can purchase additional attacks with your Mount Weapon. (Infernal Ruling)

Impact Attacks - Movement

• Impact Attacks "pause" your charge move, and as such don't normally trigger "ends an advance" abilities (such as Countercharge).
  • The exception is if your Impact Attacks include your charge target, then you have to end the charge movement and turn to directly face the charge target before rolling any dice. In this case, stuff like Countercharge will get triggered before you get to roll your Impact Attacks.
• You cannot "pause" in an illegal position to carry out Impact Attacks. For instance: a Pathfinder cavalry model pausing halfway over an obstacle; a flying cavalry model pausing while it 'overlaps' other models; or any cavalry model pausing halfway through an Incorporeal model.

Impact Attacks - The attack(s)

• You resolve stuff that occurs "after the attack is resolved" (such as Battle Wizard) before continuing with your charge movement.
• If you have an ability that boosts your "first" melee attack (such as Stir the Blood), then only one attack will be boosted even though you're making multiple simultaneous attacks.
• If you choose to make any impact attacks, you make all attacks against all models in the Mount's melee range (even friendly models).(Infernal Ruling)
• Impact Attacks cannot be boosted, refer core rulebook.
• You cannot buy additional attacks while resolving Impact Attacks. Additional attacks can only be bought during your Combat Action, after resolving your initial melee attack(s) / special melee attack.

Impact Attacks - Other

• You cannot use "any time" abilities while resolving Impact Attacks. Because Impact Attacks occur during movement; and you can only use 'any time' abilities before moving or after moving, but not during movement. (Infernal Ruling)
  • Exception: If your Impact targets include your charge target, then your movement has ended (refer rulebook, last paragraph of 'Impact Attacks') and thus you're fine to use "any time" abilities.

Cavalry unit

• If you have a unit of Cavalry, charge them and do impact attacks, remember you interrupt movement to do impacts, but you have to resolve all movements before doing any charge attacks. So for example it would go:
  • Cavalry model A charges enemy X, and contacts model M. Stop and make impact attacks against M. Then continue movement to X.
  • Cavalry model B charges enemy Y, and contacts model N. Stop and make impact attacks against N. Then continue movement to Y.
  • Cavalry model C charges enemy Z, and contacts model O. Stop and make impact attacks against O. Then continue movement to Z.
  • Resolve model A's charge attack vs X, B's vs Y, and C's vs Z. (This can be done in any order, as per normal)

Other interactions

• Cavalry model with no melee weapon
  • If you have a Mount weapon but no regular Melee weapon (such as the Efaarit Scout), you can still declare a charge. (Locked thread)
  • You can make Impact Attacks along the way.
  • Once you get to the charge target, however, you can't make a melee attack against it. Because you can't use the mount weapon for a charge attack, due to the way the Cavalry rules are written. (Unless you have a rule like Trampling Hooves.)
  • If you don't charge, the mount attack can be used as an initial melee attack.
• Countercharge & Cavalry ( Edit )
  • A model with Countercharge and Cavalry can make Impact Attacks during the countercharge. (Refer "Charges Outside of Activation" in the rulebook).
• Warcaster/Warlock Cavalry ( Edit )
  • Warcasters/Warlocks can't cast spells or use their feat while resolving Impact Attacks. Because Impact Attacks occur during movement - you can use spells or feat before moving, or after moving, but not during movement.
    • Exception: If your Impact target(s) include your charge target, then your movement has ended (refer rulebook, last paragraph of 'Impact Attacks') and thus you're fine to use "any time" abilities before starting the Impact attacks.

• Flight on a Cavalry model (Edit)
  • Although flyers can move over obstacles/models, and horses can pause to do impacts while charging, flying horses cannot make impact attacks while overlapping models/obstacles. You need to pause in a legal position.
• Gunfighter & Cavalry ( Edit )
  • A cavalry model that charges then makes a Gunfighter attack will not gain a boosted charge attack roll, because a ranged attack is not a charge attack. (Infernal Ruling)
  • You also won't gain a boosted charge damage roll, as per normal for a Gunfighter.

Rules Clarification:  : Assault      (Edit)
(Click Expand to read)

Step 1: Declare the charge

1. Are you in already melee? With any enemy, not just your charge target?
   • If yes, you don't get an Assault attack at all (Refer to the latest Errata). Instead it's just a normal charge.
   • If no, continue to Step 2.
2. Note: You cannot be "in melee" with a stationary/knocked down target. Feel free to declare charges (and Assault shots) in this case.
   • You can even charge a knocked down model you're in B2B with, advance 0", and get your ranged attack and your melee attack(s).

Step 2: Move the charging model

1. As soon as the movement is finished, determine whether it was a successful charge or not.
   • Do this before resolving anything that triggers on "Ends Movement" (like Admonition, Countercharge).
   • Do this before resolving your Assault attack.
2. Did you make a successful charge? You get the ranged attack even though you're "in melee" (not yet though).
3. Did you fail the charge? You will get the Assault shot anyway (not yet though).
   • Did you fail the charge, but end your movement in melee with someone different to your charge target? You get the ranged attack even though you're "in melee" (not yet though). (Infernal Ruling)
4. Now that you've figured out whether the charge successful, you resolve "Ends Movement" effects (such as Countercharge) before the Assault attack. (Infernal Ruling).
   • If something happens at this point that changes whether a model is in/out of melee range, it does not retroactively change a failed charge into a successful charge or vice versa.
5. If your charge was successful you may use "any time" abilities between 'finishing movement' and 'starting Assault attack'. (Infernal Ruling)
6. If you fail your charge, you may not use "any time" abilities before or after making the Assault attack. (Infernal Ruling)

Tip ! Assault is not a "triggered ability" and it will never trigger simultaneously with another ability that triggers/resolves at "ends movement". Instead, the other ability is always resolved before the Assault shot. You can make an Assault shot even if you charged less than 3".

Step 3: Make the ranged attack

1. The ranged attack is optional.
2. Since the Assault attack is outside your Combat Action, you can only do a basic ranged attack. CRA & Special ranged attacks are only allowed during your Combat Action, you can't do them. (Infernal Ruling CRA & Special Attack)
3. Did you move at least 3" during the charge movement? Who cares, that is irrelevant to the Assault attack!
4. Make your ranged attack vs your charge target
   • If the charge target is already dead (which can happen when units charge) then you don't get to redirect your Assault attack vs 'someone else'. You simply don't get an Assault attack. (Infernal Ruling)
   • A model which can do something "instead of making a ranged attack" (such as the Spriggan's Targeting Flare) then they can do that as an Assault attack. (Infernal Ruling)
   • If your ranged attacks triggers other attacks/damage that occur "after the attack" (such as Drag or Electro Leap) then those will resolve as per normal, regardless of whether you had a successful charge or not. (Infernal Ruling)
5. Is the target in melee with the shooter?
   • If yes, then you ignore the +4 DEF bonus (as per the 3rd paragraph of "Targeting a Model in Melee" (TMM) rules)
   • If no, resolve the ranged attack exactly the same as if it were a normal ranged attack.

Step 4: After finishing the Assault attack

1. If it was an unsuccessful charge, your activation now ends.
   • You may not trigger "any time" abilities. (Infernal Ruling)
   • You may not trigger "at the end of the activation" abilities (such as Sprint) (Infernal Ruling)
2. If it was a successful charge, and your charge target is ...
   • still alive, then you get your charge attack (as per the charge rules)
   • dead, then you get your initial melee attack(s) vs anyone still in your melee range (as per the charge rules).
3. Either way, you don't get to make more ranged attacks (other than the obvious exceptions like Gunfighter, of course).

Units

• Move all models in the unit before making any Assault attacks. (Infernal Ruling)
• Make all Assault attacks before making any Charge attacks. (Infernal Ruling)
• Each model in the unit is effectively "stalled" while you move/shoot the other models. This "stall" does not create an opportunity to use "any time" abilities. (Infernal Ruling)
• If a trooper's target dies before they make their Assault shot, they don't get to redirect it. You just skip their Assault shot. (Infernal Ruling)
• You cannot make Assault attacks while out of formation, as per the regular formation rules about making attacks.
• Assault & CRA (Edit)
  • You cannot mix Combined Range Attacks with Assault shots, as CRA works during your combat action and Assault shots occur before it. (Infernal Ruling)

Other

• Warbeasts
  • Warbeasts cannot use Assault during a Frenzy. Refer to the latest errata.
• Assault vs Countercharge ( Edit )
  • Things which are resolved when a model "ends movement" (such as Countercharge) need to be resolved before the Assault attack. (Infernal Ruling).
• Assault & Drag ( Edit )
  • You determine whether a charge was successful or not before making the Assault attack.
  • If you make an unsuccessful charge but then use Drag to get your charge target into melee range, then:
    • It is still a failed charge and your activation is going to end after the Assault attack is resolved. (Infernal Ruling)
    • You will get the free melee attack from Drag as part of resolving the Assault ranged attack. (Infernal Ruling)
    • Whether or not your charge was successful, this free melee attack is not a charge attack. (Infernal Ruling)
    • You won't be able to purchase additionals (because your activation ended).
