Category:Combined Melee Attack

This model can participate in combined melee attacks with other models in its unit.

Making Combined Melee Attacks (CMA)

Participation

In order to participate, a trooper must:

• be able to declare a melee attack against the intended target
• have the intended target within its melee range.

Steps

1. Choose one model in the attacking group to be the primary attacker.
2. Make one melee attack roll for the group, using the primary attacker's MAT and any bonuses.
3. Add +1 to the attack and damage rolls for each model in the group participating in the CMA, including the parimary attacker.
4. Any other bonuses and penalties are applied based on the primary attacker.

===Interactions with other rules

Charging

The CMA is only a charge attack if all the contributed attacks are charge attacks.

Unit Combat Action

• Units with CMA ignore the rule that one trooper's Combat Action cannot begin until the previous model's Combat Action is resolved.
• Troopers with multiple melee attacks can divide them among eligible targets and participate in multiple combined melee attacks.

Dual Attack

• Units with CMA ignore the rule that one trooper's Combat Action cannot begin until the previous model's Combat Action is resolved.
• Troopers with Dual Attack can make melee and ranged attacks, grouping the melee attacks in any way.
