IJA Q's

[owenk]

With the IJ rifles they have move and fire at 1:2 does that mean that he moves once for 2AP while firing or can move and fire every second movement?

Also can the IRAAP members free infantry selection be and individual? and can he be upgraded to be a Hero?

And do Standard bearers count towards your infantry count in regards to
A, getting more standard bearers.
B, getting weapons for infanty squads.
C, unlocking HWT's.

@ Rifles - you can shoot once per 2 AP you spend moving. So if you're a green, you can move and shoot, then move next turn, then move and shoot. If you're regular, you can move and shoot, move, (or vice versa) and then do it again next turn. Vet can move once more per turn than the regular (but still only shoot once) and elites can move 4 times and shoot once during the first 2 and once during the second two.

@iraap Squad = non-Independent.

@standar Bearers - I'd guess not, but defer to AbbysDad

Maurice has it right.

Nope and nope. Just like Maurice said.

C, unlocking HWT's.

A, no.
B, no.
C, no.

Good questions! Keep'em coming.

Cheers,

I also have a few questions about IJA.

1. I understand that the free standard bearer choices do not count towards unlocking additional standard bearers. What about the unit granted by the Imperial Rule Association Party Member? Do they count for (a)Unlockable guns for squads (b) Additional Standards (c) heavy weapon team allowances

2. Can IJA who already possess Banzai Charge and Bayonets on most of their weapons use the order "Fix Bayonets" to gain a massive +4 CC +4 S in the first round of combat if they charge for that turn?

3. If a IJA sniper, who is the Marksman Hero type and has a 99 rifle shoots a target that is within half range (and thus not at a -1 to RC for distance) does that mean that the sniper cannot miss? 2 rc means he hits on a 2+ and the accurate trait on the weapon gives the sniper +1 on to hit rolls with the weapon.

[Cilionelle]

As to your last question, a 1 is always a miss. Having a RC score of 1+ simply means that he will still be at 2+ when other modifiers come into play.

[mkcontra]

1. Assuming it works similarly to Criminals, Movie Star, etc., yes.

2. I would guess that you could.

3. Clionelle is correct.

Another quick rules question, this one about using generic vehicles in an IJA list. The rules for now say I can use any generic vehicle (basically the armored truck or the jeep) in that list, but I cannot find what weapons I can mount on the jeep. I am assuming it is the counterpart to the german/russian/ and US weapons, but I wanted to make sure before I bought any vehicle models.
