Declaring Orders for a Fireteam works differently, and is limited to specific combinations of Skills.
 
−
 
 
−
Specific Skill combinations compose a Fireteam Order. These Skills are grouped into three different classifications depending on their effects: Movement Skills, Support Skills, and Evasion Skills.
 
−
 
 
−
When declaring an Order with a Fireteam, players can only use the specific Skill combinations shown in the Fireteam Order Chart:

When declaring a Movement Skill, the Team Leader and all Fireteam members perform the declared Movement.
 
  
−
Entire Order Movement Skills cannot be combined with other Skills.
 
−
 
−
 
−
=== Evasion Skills ===
 
−
This classification includes the [[Dodge]] and [[Reset]] Short Skills.
 
−
 
−
When declaring an Evasion Skill in the [[Active Turn]], the Team Leader and the Fireteam members all perform the corresponding Rolls.
 
−
 
−
 
−
=== Support Skills ===
 
−
This classification includes the Skills not specified in the previous classifications. Basically, this includes the Short Movement Skill [[Discover]], all Short Skills except those stated in the Evasion classification, and all [[Entire Order]] Skills that do not have the [[Movement Label]].
 
−
 
−
This category also includes scenario Short Skills, such as "Activate Console" or "Deploy and Activate Beacon".
 
−
 
−
When declaring Support Skills, only the Team Leader performs the Roll and applies its effects. The rest of the Fireteam members do not perform any Roll or apply any effects, but they give the Team Leader certain bonuses determined by the number of Fireteam members.

Infinity Fireteams

Fireteams: Basic Rules | Fireteams Chart | Fireteam Integrity | Fireteams in the Active Turn | Fireteams in the Reactive Turn | Fireteam Bonuses | Fireteam Examples


This N4 rule is not used in CodeOne.

Annex Rule

This rule is from the annex to the Infinity N4 ruleset, containing a series of rules, special skills, weapons and pieces of equipment which have been adapted to the N4 system, but with a provisional nature. Rules included here are completely official, however they may be modified in further expansions of the N4 ruleset.


Update March 2022
During the Active Turn, Fireteams behave differently from other Infinity Troopers, as explained below:

FIRETEAM ORDER ATTACK / MOVEMENT
Requirements
  • During the Order Phase of the Active Turn, the Fireteam Order requires spending 1 Regular Order from the Order Pool of the Fireteam members’ Combat Group.
  • The player must nominate one member of the Fireteam as the Fireteam Leader, placing a Fireteam Leader Token (FIRETEAM LEADER) beside them.
  • Members of a Fireteam must observe the Coherency rule regarding the Fireteam Leader. If they do not, see Fireteam Integrity.
Effects

Update 1.3, Nov 2022

  • All Fireteam members are activated with the Fireteam Order.
  • If the Fireteam declares Reset or any Skill with the Movement Label (except Berserk), both the Fireteam Leader and the other Fireteam members perform that Skill.
    If any other Skill is chosen, only the Fireteam Leader declares and performs such Skill and the other Fireteam members declare and perform an Idle while granting the Fireteam Leader a set of Bonuses determined by the size and composition of the Fireteam.
    If any of the Fireteam members does not meet the Requirements of a Skill declared during the Order or does not have the Skill, then they perform an Idle instead of that Skill, while the others may act normally.
  • Each Reactive Trooper can choose only one of the Troopers (whether the Fireteam Leader or one of the other Fireteam members) as their target, but they are not obliged to choose the same target.

Show original text.

Original

  • All Fireteam members are activated with the Fireteam Order.
  • By declaring Reset or any Skill with the Movement Label (except Berserk), both the Fireteam Leader and the other Fireteam members perform that Skill.
    If any other Skill is declared, only the Fireteam Leader performs the declared Skill and the other Fireteam members perform an Idle while granting the Fireteam Leader a set of Bonuses determined by the size and composition of the Fireteam.
    If any of the Fireteam members does not meet the Requirements of a Skill declared during the Order or does not have the Skill, then they perform an Idle instead of that Skill, while the others may act normally.
  • Each Reactive Trooper can choose only one of the Troopers (whether the Fireteam Leader or one of the other Fireteam members) as their target, but they are not obliged to choose the same target.


REMEMBER

Any member that breaks Coherency is no longer part of the Fireteam (see Fireteam Integrity).


Fireteams, NCO and Tactical Sense

If a Fireteam member has the NCO or Tactical Sense Special Skill and spends the Lieutenant Special Order or their extra Order, they are automatically nominated as the Fireteam Leader and the Fireteam is activated as if a Regular Order had been spent.
