Special Actions !

[surprise_move]

I have just recently picked this game up to give it a blast. I have been playing Battlefleet Gothic for years and have gotten used to sacrificing Speed, Turns and Firepower when carrying out some of the Orders.

I notice in ACTA, that Special Actions are similar in effect to the BFG Orders....but without the down side. I can't see anywhere in the rules (apart from in some of the Special Actions descriptions themselves) where it states that I must sacrifice Speed, Turns or Firepower to be able to conduct any of the Special Actions.

So, apart from the explicit instructions in the Special Action descriptions themselves, can I use a Special Action and still go ahead and move at full speed, turn my full turn allowance and fire all my weapons at full strength ?

Unless otherwise stated by the special action you can move, turn, and fire as normal.

As a BFG junky I can see where your coming from. Some special actions do restrict your turning, but most still allow you to move at your regular speed. only all stop restricts your speed (I believe).

Run Silent, Initiate Jump Point, Activate Jump Gate, All Stop, and All Stop And Pivot all restrict your speed.

With many special actions the only downside is having to make a CQ check - Come About! is an example of this.
