Commander

These units can order up to two additional formations to follow them when they make an assault, as long as those formations have not already taken an action this turn and have at least one unit within 5cm of a unit from the Commander unit’s formation.

Make a single Action test (for an Engage action) for all the formations (use the Initiative value of the Commander unit's formation), counting a -1 modifier if any have Blast markers.

• If you fail the test, the Commander unit’s formation receives a Blast marker and must take a Hold action, as normal for a failed Action test. The other formations are unaffected and may take an action later in the turn, as normal.
• If you pass the test then the Commander unit's formation and the one/two additional formations may take the Engage action as an intermingled formation — that is, they act as if they are a single formation for all rules purposes for the duration of the assault.
