Fireteams: Basic Rules

Infinity Fireteams

This N4 rule is not used in CodeOne.

Common Requirements

To use this rule, a player must field a Sectorial Army List, an Army List that specifies that Fireteams are available, or have a Special Skill, piece of Equipment or Hacking Program that allows its use.
A Fireteam can only be composed of those Troopers listed as being able to compose Fireteams.
A Fireteam must be composed of Troopers belonging to the same Unit, or of those that the Sectorial Army List specifies are able to do so. Some special Fireteams can ignore this Requirement, as specified in their description or in the Sectorial Army List.
The members of a Fireteam must observe the Coherency rule in regards to the Team Leader.
A Trooper cannot simultaneously be part of more than one Fireteam.
All members of a Fireteam must belong to the same Combat Group.
The player must nominate one of the Fireteam members as the Team Leader, placing a Team Leader Token. (F: TEAM LEADER) beside them.

Team Leader

The Team Leader is the acting Trooper of a Fireteam with access to certain added bonuses. As we will see later on, the Team Leader determines the Order that all Fireteam members will declare, is the Reference Trooper for the Coherency rule the rest of the Fireteam members must observe, and is the Trooper whose elimination causes the cancellation of the Fireteam, etc.

The Team Leader is not a fixed model, but can change from Order to Order as the player desires.

The Team Leader is identified by a Team Leader Token (F: TEAM LEADER) or equivalent, depending on the type of Fireteam.

Creation of a Fireteam

During the Deployment Phase, placing a Team Leader Token (F: TEAM LEADER), or equivalent, beside one of the Troopers that meet the Requirements of this rule.

In that moment, the player can make a Coherency Check relative to the chosen Team Leader.

During the game, spending a Command Token and placing a Team Leader Token (F: TEAM LEADER) beside one of the Troopers that meet the Requirements of this rule.
When a Fireteam is created, the player must declare which Troopers are members of it.

IMPORTANT

When creating a Fireteam that includes Wildcard Troopers, the player must include at least one Trooper from the Units listed for that Fireteam in the Sectorial chart, or a Trooper that counts as a member of one of those Units.

Changing the Team Leader

Players nominate the Team Leader during the Deployment Phase, when the Fireteam is created. However, players can change the Team Leader during the game.

Changing the Team Leader allows any Fireteam member to take over when their Special Skills, weaponry, or Equipment are most required.

In the Active Turn, a player can change the Team Leader by placing the Team Leader Token beside the Fireteam member he wishes to take over as Team Leader, when declaring the first Skill of an Order.
