Firefight

FAQ and Errata

February 2018
Welcome, Commanders, to the Warpath Firefight FAQ & Errata. In this document you will find
clarifications, corrections, and consultations that amend and update the rules as presented in
the Warpath: Firefight rulebook.
In order to keep your firefights fast, fun and importantly, fair, these alterations supercede the old
text as printed in the Firefight rulebook to help address balance issues and type errors that have
come to light since the game's release in 2017, as well as addressing some common rules queries
brought forward by our players. We at Mantic would like to thank our great player community
for their contributions and enduring support, allowing us to continually improve our fantastic
games and enjoy the most spectacular battles in sci-fi wargaming.

FAQ
Page 31: For purposes of Secondary
Objective 22, what classifies as a
'Commander'? For example, a unit of 3 Rifle
Cyphers has Command . Does each model
count as a commander, or must the whole
unit be destroyed for a VP?
Any unit with a Command value classifies as
a Commander. The whole unit (in this case,
all 3 Rifle Cyphers) must be destroyed to get
the VPs for this objective.
Note that Personnel Upgrades to units (e.g.
an Orc Commando Sergeant) only upgrade a
single model with a Command value, so only
this model needs to be destroyed in order to
claim the VP.
Page 40: When does a unit making a Shoot
or Blaze Away charge reaction take the
action?
As soon as the charge reaction is declared,
before the charging unit moves.
Page 42: Is a Double Move one unbroken
movement, or two separate Moves?
It is a single movement.
Page 43: If less than half of the target unit is
in cover from a firing model, but more than
half is in cover from the unit leader, is the
target unit in cover?
Yes. Cover is always worked out using Line
of Sight from the unit leader to the eligible
models in the target unit.
Page 45: When firing a group of weapons
can you choose how many to fire?
Yes, but any weapons you elect not to use will
not be able to fire later in the Shoot Action.
6
Page 45: The Blaze Away rules state that a
suppression token is placed on the target
unit if any hits are scored, and then ALL
hits rolled are applied to the target unit
as suppression tokens. However, the
Suppression rules (page 50) do not mention
the initial token. How many tokens should
be added by a Blaze Away action?
Blaze Away is a type of Shoot Action, so you
apply the suppression token for hitting first,
then one token for each successful hit scored.
For example, two successful hits will inflict 3
tokens (intial hit + 1 token per hit).
Page 48: Do units on Overwatch only
activate once all other units have activated
and there are only units on Overwatch left,
or can you choose to activate it with your
next activation?
You can activate a unit on Overwatch with
any of your following activations.
Page 53: How do you enter a building? Can
you enter through a blocking tile?
You just move into the building, you can enter
through any tile including blocking tiles.
Note: they don’t actually move through the
blocking tile, the restrictions placed on entering
and leaving terrain (page 39) simulate the time
taken for models to find their way into, through
and out of various different types of terrain.
Page 57: Can a vehicle fire different weapons
at different targets?
Yes. Use the rules for Splitting Fire (page 45).
Page 58: Do flyers have to start the game in
reserve?
Yes.
Page 58: Do flyers have to make a Reserve
Order to re-enter play after they leave the
board?
No.
Page 58: Can flyers perform a Strafing Run
as they enter play?
No.
Page 59: Can a flyer target a unit with
Camouflage with its Strafing Run?
No, but if the unit is under the line it will still
gain 1 suppression token.
Page 60: When a weapon with the Blast
Special Rule hits on a Blaze Away attack
how many hits/suppression tokens does it
apply?
Just one.
Page 61: If a Headstrong unit is activated
as a charge reaction does it still remove 1
Suppression token?
Yes.
Page 62: The Protection (X) special rule
states "Friendly units cannot be grounded
while they are within 8" of this model."
Does that apply to all friendly units or just
the specified (X) units?
All friendly units.
Page 62: If a unit is within 8" of a friendly
model with the Protection (X) special rule,
and has enough Suppression tokens on it to
be grounded, what happens when it moves
out of range of 8”?
It immediately becomes grounded.
7
Page 62: If a recovery move brings a unit
within 8" of a friendly model with the
Protection (X) special rule, does it stop
immediately or complete the move?
It completes the move.
Page 63: If all hits from a Shoot Action
against a unit with a Shield are discarded
because of the shield, do you still apply a
Suppression token for hitting?
Yes. Note that you will also apply suppression
tokens from the Suppressive Fire rule if
you hit with them even though you have
discarded the hits.
Page 63: If a weapon's AP value beats a
target's Shield strength, do those hits count
toward the shots discarded if a second
weapon group was also firing? For example,
a unit with Shield(3) is fired upon by a unit
with two weapon groups, one at AP3 and
another at AP1. The AP3 weapon scores
three hits and the AP1 weapon scores 1 hit.
If the AP3 weapon is applied first, does the
AP1 weapon get to roll damage or has the
Shield stopped it?
Shots that ignore a shield do not count
towards the total number of hits that are
discarded. However, if the first group adds
suppression tokens to the target then it will
weaken the Shield before the second group's
attack is resolved.
Page 63: What happens if you Blaze Away at
a Shielded unit?
You apply suppression tokens as per the Blaze
Away rules. So if you hit once you will apply a
total of 2 tokens, two hits would be 3 tokens,
and so on.
Page 64: If a model with the Shield
Projection special rule is embarked on a
Transport, does the Shield Projection affect
any units? If yes, which ones?
No. Shield Projection does not function while
embarked on a Transport.
Page 64: When a unit defended by a Shield
Projection is shot at, which unit takes the
suppression tokens?
The unit being shot at.
Page 64: Do suppression tokens already
on a unit when it moves inside a Shield
Projection affect the shield's strength?
Yes.
Page 65: Can a unit disembark from a
Transport that has done two single Moves
(from a Hit and Run command, for
example)?
No.
Page 65: Can a unit disembark from a
Transport as a charge reaction if it did a
Double Move earlier the same turn?
No.
Page 65: Do Transports and their
passengers each get to make a charge
reaction?
Yes.
8
Page 65: If a unit hits with multiple
Suppressive Fire weapons, how many
suppression tokens are placed?
Only apply the greatest Suppressive Fire value
when calculating how many suppression
tokens are inflicted. Multiple instances do not
stack.
For example, if a unit hits with three different
Suppressive Fire (2) weapons, the target unit
will gain 3 suppression tokens – 1 for hitting,
and 2 for the Suppressive Fire (2) special rule.
Page 65: Are models inside a Transport
considered part of the same unit? For
instance, would a Kalyshi unit embarked
on a Rai'mega benefit from its Unflinching
special rule if targeted?
No.
Page 67: If a unit with the Unflinching rule
is hit by a Suppressive Fire (2) weapon, how
many suppression tokens are placed?
2 – it only ignores the initial suppression
token for being hit.
Page 67: What happens if you fail the
Volatile role?
The unit takes one hit as if they had been
shot at by the Volatile weapon, including
applying a suppression token. This hit has all
of the weapon's special rules and is resolved
once the group currently firing has finished
their shots, but before any remaining groups
resolve their shooting.
Page 67: Does an activated unit in an Open-
Topped Transport fight with half their
Assault dice if the Transport subsequently
charges into combat?
Yes.
Page 68: How does the Communications
special rule interact with orders that
affect all friendly units in range of the
Commander (such as Fusillade)?
If the commander has the Communications
special rule then it increases the range of the
order to all units on the board that also have
the Communications special rule.
Page 68: If a Commander on the board
and a unit in reserve both have the
Communications special rule, can that
unit arrive from any board edge with a
successful Reserves order?
Yes.
Page 68: Does giving an order with the
symbol count as an activation for the
Commander?
No, it activates the target.
Page 68: Can a Commander or unit target
itself with an order?
Yes, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Page 68: When a unit has the Command
rule (e.g. a unit of Rifle Cyphers) where do
you measure the command range from?
The unit leader.
Page 74: What range does the Repair order
have?
12"
9
Page 77: Is there a limit to how many
different Personnel Upgrades a unit can
take?
No.
Page 77: When a model is given a Personnel
Upgrade does it keep its original special
rules and equipment?
Yes, unless stated otherwise.
Page 77: If a model already has a special
rule and is granted it again (for example
through a Personnel Upgrade) do they
stack?
No, they use whichever is better. For example
if a model has Command  and can take 1
piece of equipment, and is given an upgrade
which gives it Command  and can also take
1 piece of equipment, it would end up with
Command  and the ability to take 1 piece of
equipment.
Page 102: Why does the Enforcer Captain’s
energy gauntlet have different stats to other
energy gauntlets?
The Captain’s energy gauntlet has an extra
dice compared to other energy gauntlets to
represent his exceptional skill with it. This is
typically true of other melee weapons, where
the user's skill affects the stat profile as well as
the weapon's design.
Page 114: Are the GCPS and the Marauders
considered as the same faction or as two
separate ones?
You can use Marauders on their own and
GCPS on their own, but they are considered
to be the same faction. If you play them
together in the same army, they do not need
to pay the HVA premium for using Allies.
Page 115: Do Marauder armies use the Page 120: GCPS Rangers can take a Tank
