Stand and Shoot Reaction

This reaction allows a miniature equipped with a ranged weapon to use it as a melee weapon for a single shoot against an opponent’s miniature in base contact. However, this is only permitted if:

• 1) The miniature was specifically charged by that opponent’s miniature.

• 2) It was not already in base contact with any other opponent’s miniature before being charged.

Avoid the Ranged Attack Bonuses for this ranged attack

Essentially, the rule represents a last-ditch defence when unexpectedly engaged in close combat. After the first combat that round, they must react with Dodge to all incoming attacks from any source until they are away from melee combat again. This rules applies in both modes, Aggressive and Defensive.
