EFFECTS

• In the Order Count step of the Tactical Phase, if this Trooper is part of a Fireteam, all the members of that Fireteam are Regular.

Sibylla's Advice

Having an FT Master in a Fireteam does not prevent its members from suffering the effects of Loss of Lieutenant.

Q: If a Fireteam loses a Trooper required to form the Fireteam, is the Fireteam cancelled?

A: No. The minimum column in the Fireteams Charts only applies when creating the Fireteam. Note that the FT Master Special Skill has it's own rules that can override this.
