Q&A: Special moves

Q: When the rules call for a value to be halved, e.g. the Firepower of units with Assault orders during the Shooting phase, do you:

1. Round up.
2. Round down.

A: Up to you, but be consistent!

Note: I would suggest following the standard mathematical convention of rounding 0.5 and higher up, and rounding 0.49 and lower down, in all cases when fractions come into play.

Q: A detachment on Assault orders shoots with only 1/2 of its Firepower in the Shooting phase. Should its Firepower be halved before or after you subtract for Blast markers? (E.g.: A detachment with 12 Firepower has two Blast markers. On Assault orders, would it shoot with 5 or 4 Firepower?)

A: After (that's 5 Firepower in your example).
