Advance

When you can use this

Advance may be declared during a unit’s normal command window.

When it happens

Advance resolves using the normal command timing rules.

Choosing a target

Advance does not require a target to be declared.

If the command reaches its shooting portion, resolve that portion only if there is a legal enemy target at that time.

How to resolve it

When Advance resolves:

1. Resolve movement using the normal movement rules.
2. After movement is complete, resolve shooting using the normal shooting rules, if a legal target exists.

Restrictions after use

After Advance resolves, apply:

• Shoot

When you cannot use it

Advance cannot be declared if:

• the unit already has the Shoot restriction
• the unit is otherwise ineligible to perform the command

Notes

• Advance does not redefine movement or shooting. Use the relevant core files.
• If movement resolves but no legal target exists for the shooting portion, resolve only the legal portion of the command.
• Use Timing for declaration and response timing.

Example

A player gives an eligible unit the Advance command. When Advance resolves: Resolve movement using the normal movement rules. After movement is complete, resolve shooting using the normal shooting rules, if a legal target exists. Once those steps are complete, play continues normally.
