Title: SuG charging SuG
Post by: ianhambly on February 05, 2026, 01:14:36 PM
Please confirm that a SuG gets a free charge if there is an enemy SuG directly ahead within 1 BW

Yes, 5.C: 4 3rd bullet.  (Page 58).

Free - not forced.

Must admit it is a bit of an odd one.  In reality it rarely happens.

But if the SUG is shooty ( 99% of the SUGs are shooty ) the charge is to be paid for as shooters always have to pay for charges

Incorrect. The free charge for SUGs on SUGs within 1 BW is "any SuG with an enemy SuG within 1 BW directly ahead." - see the rules section Richard mentioned. Unlike TUGs with SUGs within 1 BW there is no mention of missile focused.

Interesting how we sometimes miss details such as that one because I am not the only one to play it wrong  .

Si if I understand it correctly any SUG within 1 MU from another SUG has a free charge, but a missile focused TUG must be prompted .

I would suggest simplifying this one way or another as it is counterintuitive and ..."strange "
