Thanks

*sights* Manual, gentlemen, manual... It simply can't be layed simplier than it already is in the manual.

Ready is an action taken as a preparation for the next action - after a ready unit can do one of the following:
- re-roll dices on weapons w/squad trait during the next fire action,
- fire a weapon w/ ready trait
- perform a special move (tunnel, climb, jump etc)
- perform any special action specific to the unit (like uncloaking the Infiltator bug)
- set up heavy weapons (in case of MI microsupport platforms)

Yes

or one of the assortment of things also called Ready Actions - MI promotion, use of many psychic talents, CHAS selfdestruct...

Will Evolution take the opportunity to call them Special Actions and make Ready (as in prepare) a type of Special?

An important thing to remember is that a ready action is still an action and allows reactions. For example, if you ready to prepare to jump, nearby bugs can react to the ready action.

Hi can you please tell what pages in the manual that detail Ready Action.

Hi can you please tell what pages in the manual that detail Ready Action.

Pages 28, 31, 32, & 45 mention them. Page 45 is the "meatiest" part.

Also, look at the figure stats as they will inform of actions and weapons that require a Ready.
