The nano-cloud has passed over now, looking around over half the platoon on on the ground, the bio-indicators are flashing like a fucking lighting system at a dodgy rave, your own armour has a patina of slimy shit over it. Medevac is needed NOW, where the fuck is the med-beacon?, if that bastard corporal has left it in the barracks ‘because it is too heavy’ again, your putting two in his skull.
Special Rule C – Medevac
Immediate medical treatment is a mainstay of modern military principles (unless, god forbid, your in some hellish backward system), calling up immediate treatment and/or evacuation is a given for most armies.
This will be represented by an Infantry Squad or Vehicle with the Medevac special rule.
We assume that this rule provides the Element/Formation with specialised medical knowledge, training and equipment to help a formation recover from damage taken. This will NOT apply to Vehicles, only Infantry, they will be covered separately.
When issued an Order (special?) a single Element/Formation with the Medevac ability can make one Formation take a Recovery/Reform check for free. It may moved up to 5cm (Infantry)/10cm (Vehicle) on the Turn it provides Medevac. But you can perform Medevac in as many turns as desired.
The Element must be in valid cohesion of the formation (2cm of at least on base or 20cm if an command squad is present) to be able to use the ability.
A formation may only take one Recovery/Reform check per turn (see 1.5.4 – Recovery/Reforming). So you cannot be Medevaced then use an issues Recover/Reform order on the same Formation.
A formation who intends to receive Medevac must wait till AFTER the the Medevac Element/Formation order is performed to realise any benefit from it, but we do allow the Medevac to happen in one order, and them the Medevaced Formation to activate afterwards.
Integral Medevaced Element.
Some formations will include integral Medevac Elements. This is specialist attached medically trained personnel integrated into your formation to provide medevac when needed. This should be pretty rare, no government or corporation treats it’s troop with such value.
If the Element does not engage in anything except Movement (no shooting, firefight or close assault), and of course remains in Cohesion, it can make a Recovery/Reform check(see 1.5.4 – Recovery/Reforming) for up to TWO Elements in the Formation. (This is too limit the effectiveness, else these become terrifying powerful units).
