I am considering joining with my Eldar again, but am not inclined to sign up until I know what side the Eldar are going to fight on. Don't much care which side, but don't know if I should be lurking on the orderly boards if it is likely that the battle will be all against Imperials.
I'm assuming we're using the V6 flyer rules rather than the Apocalypse? V6 has an 18 inch minimum movement when flyers are zooming. Eldar Nightwing Interceptors have "Impossible Maneuvers," "The Nightwing can move a minimum of 18" rather than the usual 36" required for flyers."
On the larger Apocalypse boards, should we be using a longer minimum move? If we are going with the shorter 18" minimum move, does "Impossible Maneuvers" have the effect of halving the minimum move?
In V6, flyers have an Evade maneuver, giving them a 5+ jink save at the cost of reducing them to snapshot fire for the rest of the turn. The Nightwing also has Eldar Holo Fields, which gives them a 4+ chance of ignoring incoming fire. It would seem that the Nightwing could use both? (At 285 points, it had better.)
I visited Forge World's errata, but they don't speak to these.
