Do battle-armor units walk or run?
« on: 01 January 2019, 21:43:56 »
I see that some battle-armor squads have Ground MP and Jump MP. When a battle-armor squad uses ground MP, does this count as walking or running for the purposes of assigning attack modifiers?

Oops, just found it, "Infantry units never add attacker movement modifiers to their to-hit numbers" page 214. Sorry guys.

Yeah, it stacks well with them not taking a penalty on attack rolls while acting as spotters.
