Special Abilities Errata & FAQ

Fanatic

This unit ignores face-up Disrupted counters.

Q: Does the Hauptsturmfuhrer keep moving even if defensive fire is successfully fired at him?
A: The Haupsturmfuhrer keeps moving because the face up Disruption counter is removed as soon as it is placed on him.

Q: Is the Hauptsturmfuhrer effectively immune to defensive fire?
A: He isn't totally immune to defensive fire. If the defender is a Marine Flamethrower and it successfully rolls three 6s, the Haupsturmfuhrer is destroyed not disrupted. If you are using lethal defensive fire, he can be destroyed by achieving two hits.

Q: Since a Hauptsturmfuhrer can ignore face up disrupted counters does his +3 initiative still apply when disrupted?
A: Yes. Losing his commander abilities is an effect of being disrupted. Because the Hauptsturmfuhrer ignores disrupted markers, he ignores that effect the same way he ignores the other effects. So he doesn't lose his commander ability because any face up disruption marker placed on him is immediately removed.

Exert Will

At the beginning of your movement phase, remove all Disrupted counters from friendly Soldiers adjacent to this unit.

Q: Does Exert Will remove both face-up and face-down Disrupted counters?
A: Yes.

Q: When the SS Hauptsturmfuhrer uses Exert Will, does he remove any disruption counters from himself also, or would he need another Hauptsturmfuhrer for that?
A: The Hauptsturmfuhrer removes his own disrupted markers. Page 26 of the Rulebook says, "Commander abilities can affect the commander himself." Since the Hauptsturmfuhrer ignores the effect of his own disrupted marker, his commander effect still functions. He doesn't need another leader to help him out.
