This may have been covered but the search function keeps timing out, and it's also possible that it will be clarified/changed in 2nd edition, but...
On page 54, in the 'Result of firing' table, the result for 1 or 2 hits is split, with one saying 'CMT to advance' and the other 'Cavalry and any ...

Life's just one long learning experience sometimes

Thanks Dave

That's what we were doing based on the general comment at the start of the 'Breaking off' section on page 106, but, in all fairness, that isn't explicitly covered in the actual rules, and someone used to FOGR may put a different interpretation on it

But now we've been guided we'll ...

Hi Christopher

Thanks once again for the clarifications, particularly that units rout in the JAP even if they've already made an initial rout move - I think we've been using the FOGR mechanic which, from memory, is that you only rout in the JAP if you haven't already made an initial rout move in an ...

Hi Dave, thanks once again
At the risk of going on ad nauseum about routers, the 'no VMD roll' and 2 base width slide appears in the first bullet point on page 108 which seems to continue the last bullet point on page 107 which specifies 'not in contact with enemy' whereas the second bullet point on ...

I think I may have been misreading this...

Page 106, Breaking off, second paragraph, bullet points three scenarios where units cannot break off and then goes on to say that mounted troops must break off against 50%+ formed foot

Does this mean that every type of unit not proscribed by the three ...

Hi Christopher

Thanks for coming back

The JAP doesn't actually refer to autobreaks, only 'BGs that are broken and at of below 50% original strength' (which is going to cover average and poor but not necessarily superior/elite for autobreak purposes) - in this instance I'd read 'broken' as 'routing ...

Autobreak on page 116 says that battle groups which have reached their autobreak level are removed from play

If a unit autobreaks whilst in base contact with an enemy unit should it make a rout move first? And if so, and the enemy unit remains in contact, is the autobroken unit still removed or ...

Hi Dave and thanks for the clarifications

Looking at point 1, on page 108, second bullet point says 'Broken troops in contact with the enemy at the start of this phase move again using the same rules as for their initial rout move:', which is where my confusion arose

For point 2, just to close it ...

Couple of questions if someone could oblige...

1. Routers broken on contact in the impact phase: in their initial rout phase routers move directly away from units in base contact. As the phasing player conforming to enemy groups in contact comes in the movement phase does the broken unit conform to ...

Thanks for clarifying - we'd figured it was firing by file but it's always nice to have it confirmed

OK, so slightly different situation:

EEEE EEEE

MPM

E:enemy base; M: Musket; P:Pike
Left hand enemy BG is just to the left of the pike, right hand enemy BG just to the right of the pike. Both enemy BG just inside short range
Left hand BG is out of arc for right hand muskets because it is within ...
