Small team question

All that matters is how many men are there when you shoot at them – p54, Shooting, Roll to Hit, Hit Modifiers, Target is a small unit, last sentence – “Note, it doesn’t matter how many men were in the target at the start of the game – it is the number of men in the target when it is shot at that counts.”

Remember Artillery units can’t qualify for small team – the gun in an Artillery unit is also defined as a model in the unit, not just the crew (confirmed via FAQ – “If I shoot at a unit of artillery that has only one or two crew models left, does the ‘small team ’ to-hit modifier apply or not? e small team rule applies to units made of one or two infantry models (implying ‘and nothing else’, which should have been stated clearly). So, so as long as there is also a gun model, that unit is not made just of one or two infantry models, but also includes a non-infantry model, so the small team bonus does NOT apply.

One of the things we discussed is allowing a single figure remaining from a squad to join another squad if the figure is within “Run” distance of the squad it wants to join. Of course this is predicated by the fact that it must pass morale and any order check, as required.

@arcole, no, it doesn’t prevent them being small team. They are not artillery, where the gun is defined as a model within the squad (definition of an artillery unit, p35), they are infantry with the team weapon being treated as part of the firer model – basically the reason you lose the weapon when you lose the firer (choosing to model the weapon separate to the firer doesn’t make it a separate model under the rules).
