Separating a hero from a squad

[Gian2 0]

After reading the revised rules i started to think about that it didn´t say anything about when a seperation of a hero from a squad must occur. So i looked in the old rulebook and it wasn´t mentioned there either. Does this mean that one can do it at any time?

The scenario that makes me wonder and i think could be "difficult" to resolve is that during combat if a combined hero with a squad is the target and they decide to separate (in mid combat, after dices has been rolled so that one knows how many hits one will suffer) so that one of the units survives. Another questions this rasies is which of the units would become the new target and who decides that?

What do you guys think....?

While the rules don't mention this specifically, certainly the hero can only leave the squad, or the squad leave the hero, on that unit's own activation. In this game, you can't really do anything (other than Reactive Fire) when it isn't your turn.

I agree . 

Separating is done by Activating them independently. So you decide when you activate them first time in round.

This is how i played this after revised - before it had to be hero deciding that he leaves squad so it had to be Him to Activate first.

A follow up question for you guys.

You have a hero joined with a squad.

Boss squad reactivates the unit. Can you decide to sperate them and do eachs movement right after.

Ex.

Boss squad is successful in reactivating the Hero and squad as they were conected. Hero seperates from squad, moves and fires. Squad then moves to a different location and fires.  What do you think?

Nope. "Get moving you bunch of monkeys" can only activate a SINGLE unit. When a hero dettaches from a squad, they cease to be a single unit. So you would reactivate either the hero or the squad, and it would then dettach from the other and perform its actions. It's just like a normal activation. On a normal turn, you wouldn't activate a squad with a hero, dettach the hero, make it perform his actions, then perform the squad's actions right after that. It would require two different activations, in two different turns to move the two.
