Special Rule
Scouts: Sentinels are used to scout ahead and are always in the vanguard of the army. To represent this, any Sentinels in the army may be deployed at the start of a battle, even in scenarios where they could not normally be deployed. For example, if you were the defender in a Take & Hold mission then your Sentinels would set up at the start of the battle instead of being placed in reserve with the rest of the Fast Attack units. If you're playing a scenario where you can only deploy a limited number of units then any Sentinels you deploy are not counted against the limit for the scenario.
In addition to this rule, after both sides have deployed, any Sentinels may make a 'free move'. The move happens before the first turn takes place. All of the normal movement rules apply.
