Automaton mental rolls in Assault 1.1????

[fjodin]

HI, I've been reading new assault rules gruntz15.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=news&action=display&thread=489 and have some questions about Automatons.

1) Automantons does not have mental checks, so is that mean they can not be suppressed before assault?
2)Also if they are not in overwatch do they need to make mental roll to react fire
3)If they loose battle do they need to make mental check?
4)Can they go into condition brown?

Any help?

1) Automantons does not have mental checks, so is that mean they can not be suppressed before assault?

Yes they cant be suppressed as they don't make mental checks.

2)Also if they are not in overwatch do they need to make mental roll to react fire.

They can't make a react fire as they can't make mental checks.

3)If they loose battle do they need to make mental check?

No as they don't make mental checks.

4)Can they go into condition brown?

No as they don't make mental checks.

But if they are ordered to defend themselves ie on overwatch they do both automatically and become a deadly enemy otherwise they just sit there and get thumpt!

Hope that helps

Thanx. So if they are attacked in melee, it does not matter if they in overwatch or not, they automatically react fire?

If they loose fight, does that mean they just stayed wherever they were before assault, and winning human squad can move freely?

No can't react fire if not on overwatch and they just stay there but if the humans move away they will strike at them as this does not require a mental check.

Robin may put some more input to this from the other thread you put this onto as it just say they can't make one doesn't say they auto pass the test.

Thanx for helping!
