Small doubt about orbital defences

[ale_box]

Is it correct that orbital defences, once they lose their shield(s) never regain it because of blast markers that cannot be left back by movement (zero for the orbital defences) nor  removed (being in contact in the end phase)?

Thanks

Depending on what rules you are using, there should be a note somewhere that each stationary defense loses D6 blast markers in contact in each end phase, separately from the D6 removed normally by the player.

We are using official GW rules (blue book, armada, FAQ 2010). Where can I find the reference on additional d6 FIR defences?

Thanks

S. 36 in the pdf-version (rulebook).

"Planetary defences"
"Satellite and ground unit special rules"

this passage contains 3 rules:

- only allowed special order is reload ordnanc (ld is 7)
- extra d6 blast marker removal during end phase
- use full number of dice when rammed
