Declaring actions

I noticed - while demoing SDS - that many player "declare" what they want to do before rolling dice for activation ("this soldier tries to reload his musket!").
Note that this is NOT required by the rules and should be avoided. Just declare which model you are going to activate, roll 1, 2 or 3 dice and then decide what you want to do. The same applies to Group Actions: each model in the group gets the number of actions you generated and then each model can perform that number of actions. What each model does is up to you :)

SDS clarifications (1)

Wooded Areas and shooting (page 14)

A model inside a wood and not in contact with its internal edge cannot shoot nor be shot, unless the target is also inside the same wood and within 1S. This fire is at -1 for cover.

A model inside a wood but in contact with its internal edge can shoot outside, and be shot with the cover modifier (-1).

A model partially in a wood (i.e. with its base touching the wood, but also touching clear terrain) can shoot and be shot normally.


A can shoot at E if they are within 1S, and the reverse is also true. Both have -1 for cover.

A cannot shoot at D, nor it can be shot by D.

B can shoot at F or G normally, and can be shot by both with the -1 cover modifier.

C is not considered in the wood, and can be shot normally (by G for example), without the cover modifier.
