Go to Ground

[dcoy]

Are you allowed to declare a unit has gone to ground without that unit getting shot?

[lictor534]

i don't believe so since going to ground is a reaction of being shot, having rolled to hit, then rolled to wound, then you have the option to go to ground

[scrotatohead]

You wouldn't want to declare you're going to ground without it being in reaction to enemy shooting. Otherwise you save them the trouble of trying to pin/wound you and simply turn their weapons on other units.

[dcoy]

A unit that has gone to ground is not subject to instinctive behavior rolls, and upon regaining fearless in the following turn from synapse creatures moving in range, will immediately cease being grounded. Therefor my question still stands, can you go to ground without being shot at?

[jaysic]

Only after wounds are rolled but before saves are rolled, and if not in synapse

I like your thinking, though

Jaysic as the right of it.
