Shields Up, active or not

[Gurgamel]

Hi,

If i have a unit with an ability that has the description (se below) and i dont go first turn vise. The unit in question gets attacked do i get the +1 save roll or not? Since i have not had my turn yet to declare they are doing a Shield Fortress but they have not run or charged either.

Description: A unit carrying shields can creat a Shield Fortress instead of running or charging in its turn. If it does so add 1 to save rolls for the unit untill its next movement phase.

I would say no. The description of the ability states that the unit can do this in its turn which would imply that if you haven’t had a turn yet, then it’s not active.

I see thank you. Would that also mean that i dont get that bonus when its not my turn?

If you are activating the ability, it would give you that bonus till your next turn.

so if you haven’t gotten a double turn, this effect would also be active in your opponents turn
