Question - after reading Inn11
The opening article states that in Metro jumptroopers can't jump - shoot - charge
I don't get this reading the Jump Trooper entry, it says a jump is a normal move. Which implies I can shoot at the -1 afterwards and then attempt to charge. Am I missing something here?
If jump troopers can not jump and shoot then they are RADICALLY overpriced and the black legion will never see the table

"RE: Jumping, once or twice?
Hi guys, just spotted this while browsing around.
Quoting from the rule:
'A unit with this special rule can attempt to make a ‘jump’ in place of a normal move, rush or charge to contact. The following rules apply.'
The intent of this is that a unit can attempt to jump once during it's turn, doing so in place of its normal move, or its rush, or its charge to contact."
this took forever to find

I believe what I was trying to say in the article was that you could not Jump then shoot then jump as a charge... I was not intending to say you could not jump then shoot.
Wow thats the worst thing ever.... I'm dumb founded.
this falls in my needs to be stated out right in the book.
Jump trooper entry final line (should be anyways). "A unit may only perform one jump per turn"
so let me see if i have this right.
I can walk, shoot, jump to CC
Jump, shoot, then walk into CC
what if I try and Jump (fail), move and shoot (with additional -1) then try and jump again into CC

that one is interesting.. I think I would allow you to make the second check after failing the first. as long as you only jump once a turn I think you should be ok.
and that post was buried in something totally unrelated...
there needs to be a pinned errata post so that this doesn't happen because I'm pretty sure I had read that thread (maybe even contributed)
It makes sense now, the grammer is totally garbage, but now I feel that the Black Legion are ludicriously expensive and not nearly as scary.
