In the Active and Reactive Turns, a Fireteam is automatically cancelled in the following situations:

• The Fireteam Leader enters Isolated State or any Null State.
• If the Fireteam Leader is activated during the Impetuous Phase of their Player Turn.
• If the Fireteam Leader leaves the Fireteam.
• The Fireteam Leader declares an ARO different from the Fireteam's ARO.

• If the Fireteam Leader becomes the Controller of a Peripheral.

• The Fireteam is reduced to one member.
• A Retreat! situation occurs.
• The player uses a Command Token to create another Fireteam, and exceeds the maximum number of Fireteams of that Type allowed in their Army or Sectorial. In this case, the player must decide which of the Fireteams is cancelled.
• In the Active or Reactive Turn, the player voluntarily chooses to cancel the Fireteam. This requires no additional expenditure of Orders or Command Tokens. The player must indicate so before the Order is spent by any of the players.

In the Active Turn and Reactive Turn, a Trooper automatically stops being part of a Fireteam in the following cases:

Update PDF 5.3, September 2026

• The Trooper becomes the Controller of a Peripheral.

• The Trooper enters or is in Isolated State or any Null State.
• The Trooper breaks Coherency with the Fireteam Leader.
• The Trooper is Irregular and uses their Irregular Order.
• The Trooper is the Lieutenant and spends their Lieutenant Special Order.
• The Trooper is Impetuous and is activated during the Impetuous Phase of their Player Turn.
• The Trooper enters or is in a State that allows it to be substituted by a Marker (Camouflaged, Impersonation, Holoecho...), unless a Special Skill, piece of Equipment or Scenario Special Rule indicates otherwise.
• The Trooper enters Suppressive Fire State.
• The Trooper is moved to a different Combat Group.
• In the Reactive Turn, if the Trooper declares an ARO that is different from the Fireteam's ARO.

In any of the above cases, the Trooper stops being part of the Fireteam the moment the Order or ARO is declared. Consequently:

• In the Active Turn, the Trooper is not activated by the Fireteam's Order, so he is considered inactive for ARO purposes.
• In the Reactive Turn, the Trooper is not able to benefit from the advantages of being in a Fireteam.
• When one or more members leave the Fireteam, the player must recalculate the number of members to check if a Fireteam Cancellation occurs, or to determine the bonuses available to the members during that Order if there are still enough members for there to be a Fireteam.

• The Fireteam Leader of that Fireteam enters Isolated State or any Null State

[...]

• The user may automatically become the new Fireteam Leader of his Fireteam, placing the Fireteam Leader Token beside him.

Example

In a five member Fireteam where only three of them declare an ARO, if two members declare the same Skill in ARO, and the third member declares a different Skill, the Skill declared by the two members has been declared by more than half of the reacting members and is the Fireteam’s ARO. The third member will automatically leave the Fireteam.

On the other hand, if two members declare the same Skill in ARO, but two others declare different Skills, then no Skill has been declared by more than half of the reacting members. The player can choose which Skill is the Fireteam’s ARO, and the members that declared a different Skill will automatically leave the Fireteam.

REMEMBER

Rejoining the Fireteam in the States Phase

Troopers who left a Fireteam can automatically rejoin it if they are in Coherency with the Fireteam Leader once again at the end of the next States Phase.

FAQs

N5 FAQ

Version: 0.1, Sep 2026

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.

Q: Does the 'type' of a Fireteam change as it loses members?

A: No. For example if a Fireteam Haris with 3 members loses a Trooper, it is a Fireteam Haris with 2 members. It does not change type to become a Fireteam Duo.
