When you counter attack a player that used combat cards do you also get those cards includedd inn your turn?

Also when playing the infiltrator card from the Combat deck can you use it to activate a unit that isn't activated by command card that it is played in conjunction with.
Another q - I'm assuming that a behind enemy lines card played with a combat infiltrators card can result in one unit moving a total of 12 hexes or two seperate units moving 6 hexes. Yes?

If you Counter-Attack, you only get to use the Command card that was played. The Air Sortie or Combat Cards are extra and aren't countered by the second player.

As the Combat Card rules explain, Combat Cards modify an order you're already giving. So unless the card says differently, you cannot play a Combat Card on a unit that didn't already receive an order.
If you notice on the Infiltrator card it says, "1 ordered Infantry..." so the unit already needs to have been ordered!

No, those cards can't be played together. It's a good question that someone else asked before so you can find the official answer in the FAQ thread.

No need to apologize for asking questions about this great game! That's what the forums are for!!
Sometimes you might find an answer to a question by looking at the Official FAQ, the FAQ thread at the top of this forum, or by doing a search for the key words, but if all that fails then keep the questions coming!!!

Can Behind Enemy Lines be played together with Infiltrator in order to gain one more extra die? You wouldn't get any movement bonus, but attacking with 5 dice instead of 4 might be crucial.

In the answer in the FAQ thread, Richard Borg says that the cards can't be played together. So that would not be allowed.
Great idea though...and you can always make a House Rule to allow it.
