When the spaceship activates, the supreme commander is not part of their formation.
When an aircraft activates, the supreme command
is part of the same formation. The FAQ doesn't say "as long as they are on board".
Yes, i know that, but the point for me is this
Q. Can units that are
off board use their special abilities.
And it is not about a unit off board using its ability but one on board. On the FAQ it says nothing about restrictions on using abilities owned by units that are on board.
Because of that the re-roll is being used many many times in battle reports here for bringing in Fighters to bomb that last formation defending an objective for example.
I read that as on board the space craft not on the gaming board as he had a great eldar tactic of planet falling 2 or 3 loaded vampires from a spaceraft and triple retaining to attempt to decimate an opponents force . I don't think he was saying the re-roll could not be used if the SC was on the gaming board.
