Combat Intuition, when in the movement phase does it happen?
« on: 11 September 2024, 23:53:08 »
Alpha Strike Commanders Edition, SPA Combat Intuition page 93.

The part of the statement that says “before any target units can act” has created a little confusion. Are units with CI required to activate at the beginning of the movement phase, prior to any enemy units activation? Or, may they activate at any point during the movement phase?

Use the standard movement sequence, that line is only referring to the fact that the damage and its effects are applied immediately, before the combat phase.  Therefore if the unit is destroyed (or it takes a weapon hit or other critical hit that affects combat), these DO affect the combat phase unlike non-combat intuition attacks that would wait for the end phase to apply their effects.  Combat Intuition doesn't change movement order, only the damage effect application.
