Here are some frequently asked questions regarding the rules for Adeptus Titanicus. Several concepts/rules found in the rule book are unfortunately not very clear and open to interpretation. ''Note: These are '''not''' official answers!''. House rule interpretation have been added to give a solution until official FAQ is released. This section is not intended for bible-bashing rules, but more a friendly section for those confused by the badly written rules as well. If you find a official answer, please update the question with a reference/link.

'''Strategems'''
*'''Question:''' Can you use the same stratagem multiple times in a single battle? For Example: A Warlord Titan is fired on and has its shields collapsed. I use Machine Defiance and get lucky to recover 3 shields. The next turn the shields are collapsed again, may I use the Machine Defiance again to try and save the shields?
*'''Answer: No.''' Unless specified, each strategem can only be used once per battle. 


'''Shooting'''

*'''Question:''' Can I place blast markers anyway I want? E.g. can I shoot between Knights with a Volcano cannon to hit more Knights?
*'''Answer: No.''' Like most GW games, you place the blast markers hole anywhere over a base. For larger bases, this means there is still quite a big degree of freedom ''(Paraphrasing a Copenhagen GW employee)''


*'''Question:''' Does the Warlord Titan's Ardex-Defensor Cannon or the Knight's torso-mounted Melta gun need to roll to hit?
*'''Answer: No.''' The terminal simply states the units "Suffers D3 Strength 5 hits" with no mention of needing a hit roll. It's not a ranged attack, rather a persistent effect which just happens. 


*'''Question:''' If a Reaver (Scale: 8, almost 3" deep base) is exactly 9" away from a Warlord (Scale: 10), can the Warlord's carapace weapon still target the Reaver?
*'''Answer:''' ''No'' The rules use the word "within" with no mention of having to be "completely within". If even 0.1mm of the Reaver's base is within 10" then the carapace weapons cannot target it. 
*'''Additional Explanation:''' You don't have to have the whole base within range to target it with any other weapons, you simply have to have part of the base within range. 


'''Orders'''

*'''Question:''' Does a unit with '''Emergency repairs''' activate the maintenance roll in the movement phase OR the combat phase?
*'''Answer:''' The order says "As soon as [the order] is issued, make a repair roll." This would imply the repair roll is immediate. You make the Repair Roll as soon as the order is passed, and then have to choose wherever to activate the unit in either the Movement or Combat Phase. 



*'''Question:''' Is a unit with '''Full Stride''' orders limited by the "full stride" rules in the movement phase as well? I.e. must move in a straight line in it's front arc?
*'''Answer:''' ''Official answer unknown.''
*'''House interpretation:''' A unit with Full Stride orders can move and rotate normally during the movement phase, and only in the combat phase execute the "straight line" move that a full stride entails. Without the alignment flexibility in the movement phase, the criteria setup for a meaningful stride is basically impossible for anything but banners.

*'''Second Take:''' It's insinuated in the rules that this only takes effect in the Combat phase. "A unit acting under Full Stride orders cannot attack in the Combat phase. Instead, when it is activated,..." Context seems to indicate that it should be read as "Instead, when it is activated in the Combat phase,...". This seems to be a RaI vs RaW argument though. 


*'''Question:''' A unit who fired with '''First fire''' order in the movement phase must fire at the same target in the combat phase?
*'''Answer: No.''' A unit may fire at a different unit in the combat phase. ''(Paraphrasing a Copenhagen GW employee)''
