ABILITIES
Sentinel Directives: When you target this unit with the Fire Overwatch Stratagem, hits are scored on unmodified Hit rolls of 5+.
FORTIFICATION: While an enemy unit is only within Engagement Range of one or more Fortifications from your army: it can still be chosen as the target of ranged attacks, but unless the attack is made with a Pistol, subtract 1 from the Hit roll; and its models need not take Desperate Escape tests for Falling Back while Battle-shocked, except for those that will move over enemy models.
Defence Searchlight: At the start of your Shooting phase, you may pick one enemy unit within 24" and visible to the bearer; until the end of the phase that unit cannot have the Benefit of Cover.
