Topic: When do you consolidate in the fight phase?

[phillyt]

Do you consolidate as the last step for a unit when they've been activated or do all consolidations happen at the end of the fight phase?

I ask because one of my playmates says bezerkers can only consolidate at the end of the phase and wouldn't consolidate twice during the fight phase if they somehow managed to wipe two units.  I argued that they would still be able to consolidate a second time if that ever happened.

per unit, you follow the fight sequence 1 to 6 (where 6 is the consolidate) per eligible unit. You end the Fight fase if you can't complete the number 1 step anymore.

What this man said right here.

Still, you (the unit charging) can only fight what you declare a charge against in the fight phase, regardless of how many times you get to fight in the fight phase (Bezerkers can fight three times with a stratagem). Yes, you might be able to consolidate three times to get into contact with a unit that was outside your charge range in the beginning of the round, but you won't be able to high-five them with a chainaxe to the face. They, of course, now that they would be within 1" of the Bezerkers, could swing at you. Still, it's a good way to tie up that Leman Russ after you've "Death to the False Emperor"'d all the Guardsmen that were bubble-wrappin' that command tank.

This. It seriously limits the possibilities to fight again in the same phase sometimes. Also, remember that you have to consolidate towards the nearest enemy.
