Marine Company Standard Bearer Rule - Counterattack The Marine Company Standard Bearer (and the squad he is attached to) gains the Counter-Attack ability if any unit charges into the Squad containing the Company standard.....now.....Counter-Attack counts as charging without the +1 attack bonus.....however.....if the squad is upgraded with Furious Charge....does the +1 S/+1 I bonus come into effect?
I have argued that it does....as Counter-Attack is a "Charging Movement". Once the closest enemy model (single or squad) charges into the Command Squad, no other enemy models move into base to base contact....the Marine Command Squad then Counter-Attacks and moves all models into base to base with the enemy....
Yes, the enemy squad retains their bonus characteristics on the charge.....but does the Command Squad gain the Furious Charge Bonus?
Any opinions?
