Move and shoot

[Sonic Boomer]

In the boardgame, you can move and have free shots as the Space Marines. I watched a few videos on youtube, and SM don't seem to shoot at anything when they move, genestealers or doors. Is this intended?

i beleive the key 6 is a toggle that enables that i havent really played with it yet but i also think if you want the maximum number of shots you have to move 1 tile at a time, if you try to move as far as you can it will only fire on the last tile.

you toggle it on as one of the actions they take a valid shot after every square moved

From my experience Terminator will take all move-and-shoot actions when advancing in a straight line. But when moving diagonally (like into 3x3 room), or when having more than a single target he will not fire and you should order him to do so manually.

Actually no, it is as Belgerath ans Scouten says. You can toggle it on or off for each of your Terminators. Because if on, they'll also autoshoot at Doors.
It's smart to turn it on if you got a big hallway of Xenos to just advance and go blamblam. Or if you intent to move left or right of the passage that the enemy is in, that way you can shoot and move without having to go space to space before shooting.

I am talking about the instances in which Terminator won't move-and-shoot, despite having the option enabled. Because there are situations where that happens.

If the "Move and Shoot" toggle is on, Terminators will only autoshoot (technically, after the movement) on genestealers or doors that are directly in front of them, not in diagonals.
If you want to use your free shot to aim at a target in diagonal, you'll have to do it manually.

That's what I thought, but thanks for the official confirmation.
