Vanguard, Road Movement, and Fuel Depot (Cromwell)

The Cromwell tank has a vanguard movement of 4.  If I have a fuel depot and move on a road, can the Cromwell move 6 spaces during its vanguard movement?

I dont think so. It can move at least five, road bonus always works, but I dont think fuel depot helps vangard. Welcome to the forums! Very Happy

Why not?  I don't see how the wording would exclude the use of the bonus during the Vanguard phase:
Quote:
Friendly Vehicles with a base speed of 3 or higher get +1 speed.  (Multiple abilities of the same name aren't cumulative.)

Vanguard is a special ability (it's not a speed bonus, but a deployment bonus). Fuel depot gives the vehicle +1 to its base speed (if greater than 3).

Sindor,

Clarify if you will.  It sounds like you are saying I can only move four "period" because it is "deployment bonus" and not actually movement.  So neither the Road movement or fuel depot would have any effect.  Is that what you are saying?

WotC is not very clear in their approach to the AAM Cards either, you know Question  Wink You are right, there should be clearly said whether the Vanguard SA is a sort of movement or a "placement of an advanced reconaissance unit". The authors have to decide.

I am not using the WotC cards with their models, so I don't really encounter their faults.

I think Vanguard is limited to the 4 hexes, as the others are based on movements in the movement/assault phase...but I cant back it up with anything...hmmmmm
