<ol><li> Before any compulsory forfeiture of movement/action. See step 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.</li>
<li> After the model with the "Any Time" ability has had their activation end "prematurely". By this I mean you resolved something which includes the phrase "its activation ends". Examples include:
<ul><li> Running, failing a charge, or failing a <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Slam" title="Category:Slam">slam</a>.</li>
<li> Abilities that include "then its activation ends" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Reposition" title="Reposition">Reposition</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Teleport" title="Teleport">Teleport</a>).</li></ul></li>

<li> In between completing your charge movement and determining whether it was a successful charge.

<li> When you're in the middle of moving. (Note: <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Cavalry" title="Category:Cavalry">Impact Attacks</a> count as being in the middle of movement).</li>
<li> When you're in the middle of an attack. Which also includes effects that occur "after the attack is resolved".<br/>(Although the attack is "resolved" at Step 11, in terms of using an "Any Time" ability the attack is not "finished" until <i>after</i> Step 14. Refer to the first paragraph of Apdx A.)</li>
<li> Your opponent interrupted your activation to trigger one of their own abilities (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Countercharge" title="Countercharge">Countercharge</a>).</li>
<li> Warcasters/warlocks/etc can normally cast a spell or use their feat "At any time". However, there is a core rule saying they cannot do so on the same activation that they run. So, they are subject to all the same restrictions listed above, <i>plus</i> they can't cast/feat <i>before</i> running. </li>
<li> Units: See below. <br/><br/></li></ol>
<ul><li> In general you <u>can</u> use "Any Time" abilities while you're <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Knockdown" title="Category:Knockdown">knocked down</a> or <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Stationary" title="Category:Stationary">stationary</a> (except Spells and Feats which specify you <u>can't</u>).</li>
<li> If you have a gun with a random ROF, you can use an "Any Time" ability inbetween rolling the number of shots and actually making the first attack. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?276943-Random-attacks-and-animi-casting&p=3863878&viewfull=1#post3863878" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)<br/><br/></li></ul>
<dl><dd> <u>Units with "Any Time" abilities</u></dd></dl>
<ul><li> You cannot use an "Any Time" ability before issuing/receiving orders. See step 1 and 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.</li>
<li> A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after they run (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256828-go-to-ground-after-running&p=3843245&viewfull=1#post3843245" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>) or fail a charge. Because that makes that <i>specific model's</i> activation to end even though the <i>unit's</i> activation is still ongoing, and you can't use abilities on models that are not active.
<ul><li> You can use an "Any Time" ability <i>before</i> running, however.</li></ul></li>
<li> A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after <i>anyone</i> in the unit has begun a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Reposition" title="Reposition">Reposition</a> move.

<ul><li> You don't need to have the entire unit in B2B to get the bonus. Even just two models in B2B will give it to each other. Which way they're facing doesn't matter, either.</li>
<li> Defensive Line is 'always on' (unlike <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Wall" title="Shield Wall">Shield Wall</a>).</li>
<li> You can still get Defensive Line while <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Knocked_down" title="Knocked down">knocked down</a>.</li>
<li> Since models move in straight lines, it impossible to keep two models B2B while advancing. Thus you cannot benefit from Defensive Line while moving through acid clouds etc.
