Jump troops and terrain

[coredump]

Hey folks, have a question.

If jump infantry use their jump packs for the assault move, and they are landing in difficult terrain to assault their target. Do they go at their base initiative, or are they penalized and go at init step 1?


I have always played it one way, but someone I usually trust for rules said the other way, so wanted to check with folks.

It reads to me like landing in Difficult Terrain would trigger the drop to I1, but it isn't nearly as clear as I'd like it to be.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh no. I think rigeld2 just misread what you wrote.

As much as #2 would be interesting and fluffy (maybe), I'm pretty sure the fun police would show up in no time.
Clarification would be nice.

When its unclear I resort to "logic?".... makes sense that dudes falling from the sky into a ruin or thru tree branches would be preoccupied with not wracking themselves to me...so would be penalized. I think any time a unit ends up in terrain its going to get hit with init nerfs.
