Fireteam Creation

Each Army has a Fireteams Chart that indicates the quantity and type of Fireteams that the player may create during the game.

During the Deployment Phase, place a Fireteam Leader Token (FIRETEAM LEADER), or equivalent, beside one of the Troopers that meet the Requirements of this rule. In that moment, the player must make a Coherency Check relative to the chosen Fireteam Leader.
During the game, spend a Command Token and place a Fireteam Leader Token (FIRETEAM LEADER) beside one of the Troopers that meet the instructions of the Fireteams Chart of their Army.

Rejoining the Fireteam in the States Phase

At the end of the next States Phase, any Troopers who left a Fireteam may automatically rejoin it if they are in Coherency with the Fireteam Leader.

Fireteam Types

The types of Fireteams that the player may use during a match are:

Fireteam Duo

When created, a Fireteam Duo must contain two Troopers.

Fireteam Haris

When created, a Fireteam Haris must contain three Troopers.

Fireteam Core

When created, a Fireteam Core must contain a minimum of three and a maximum of five Troopers.

IMPORTANT

Some Sectorials can modify the conditions for creating a Fireteam, which will be listed in the Sectorial’s Fireteams Chart.

General Rules for Fireteams

The members of a Fireteam must observe the Coherency rule in regard to the Fireteam Leader.
A Trooper cannot simultaneously be part of more than one Fireteam.
All members of a Fireteam must belong to the same Combat Group.
When a Regular Order is spent on a member of a Fireteam, they automatically become the Fireteam Leader. Additionally, they activate the other members of the Fireteam (see Fireteam Order).
Fireteams must contain a minimum of two Troopers and a maximum of five Troopers (always observing the Army's Fireteams Chart).
Fireteams allow the use of the Fireteam Bonuses for two, three, four, or five members, depending on the Fireteam Level.

Fireteams and CC Combat

In Close Combat, whether in the Active or Reactive Turn, when several members are engaged in the same CC, only the Fireteam Leader can be chosen to perform the CC Roll, applying the Close Combat with Multiple Troopers rule.
In the Reactive Turn, if the Fireteam Leader is not engaged in that CC, the player must choose one of the Fireteam members who are engaged in that CC to perform the CC Roll, applying the Close Combat with Multiple Troopers rule.
In ARO, the enemy will be able to target any Fireteam member engaged in the CC, but only one of them.

Fireteams and Suppressive Fire

A Trooper stops being part of a Fireteam if he declares the Suppressive Fire Common Skill. In addition, a Trooper’s Suppressive Fire State is automatically cancelled if they join a Fireteam.

Fireteams and Comms Attack

In the Reactive Turn, if the Fireteam has more than one Hacker and the player declares a Hacking ARO, every reactive Hacker may use a different Hacking Program.

Q: During your main part of the Deployment Phase, can you reposition Troopers, Deployables, etc?

A: In their main Deployment Phase step, players can reposition Troopers, Deployables, etc. As soon as a Roll or measurement is made for those game elements, their position is fixed, and they cannot be repositioned during the Deployment Phase.

For example, you can reposition a Trooper as many times as you want, but after you create a Fireteam and adjust the placement of the Fireteam members during the Coherency Check, you can no longer reposition any member of that Fireteam.
