Squad Leader Archive

Haha, yes bait. I know I always get targeted first when I have my Master Squad Leader title up.

/endSarcasm.

I've read that it's stackable with the group member's individual burstrun (haven't aactively tested it yet myself)... If it is , then that combined with the burst run effeciency would be pretty nice.

Burstrun efficiency only refers to the amount of HAM you spend to activate burst run. since most people are fully buffed a burst run wouldn't cost them anything anyway. It doesn't reduced the BR timer or increase the length at all unfortunately.

As for stacking I was testing SL commands on TC2 last night (as I was being poisoned and diseased for a good cause) and /retreat no longer stacks with burst run and no longer gives a speed boost to a vehicle. (did not try it with a mount to see if it still stacks with /gallop.) Not sure when this changed. Could have been a long time ago, I just haven't tested the commands in a long time.

Does it work for you or only the people in your group?

Is there a timer on it or can one use it over and over after burst run drains?

WONKA

it works on everyone else in the group and can be reapplied as much as you want. It doesnt work on the leader because he is supposed to remain as bait so the rest of the group can get out.

My melee fighters love it when I use Retreat cause it helps them chase down the wimps that try to outrun them hehe.

it's also usefull for getting the heck away from people who might hurt you

Oh wait , thats the original use isn't it

As it is said, only the group member get the burst run. You don't get anything from that.

It doesn't kill your HAM, it just lets everyone else run while you're stuck behind to fend off the enemy's pursuit.

When you use /retreat, do you get the "burtstrun" like your group members? Because the description says "sacrifice himself for the greater good of his group".. I was wondering if this "sacrifice himself" means that you lose health and action (shouldn't be a problem when buffed) or that your mates run but you don't (and die :/ )

Actually if your unbuffed and you use retreat... you just about do sacrifice yourself.
