Ah, yes, adding an 'ly' to that changes the meaning of the entire sentence and clarifies things. In light of the other statements, I suspect you're right about the original intention.

What throws me off is this... pg 41 "... does not require a Command Point for the first CMT taken in any phase. Additonal CMTs are rolled for as normal except that they are passed on a 4+ instead of the usual 5+." The implication of the bolded chunk (my bolding) is that the first CMT is no...

Aha, thanks. Got me on the right page... "If no new target is available the assaulting ... unit completes it full move distance in the direction of the original assault..."

Question from today's battle... Cavalry declares a charge on a Wavering cavalry unit (about 9MU away). Wavering unit fails the Cohesion check, breaks, and does a rout move and moves back out of assault range. There are no other targets for the charging cavalry to change to... does it still move forw...

A thread for questions I've got upon reading the rules, to which a search of the forum or rules don't seem give an answer. First up... In the Assault Phase, if you fail a CMT to assault, am I correct in assuming you cannot later move that unit in the Movement Phase of the same turn? Or, having faile...

It's not excluded, and thus falls under "all other troops".

That list is of infantry or cavalry that, due to specific circumstances, no longer qualify for use of the Tactical line.

Don't the French still have to split their dice? They just have to put maximum dice on the close target, before assigning dice to the medium range target (pg 51). Also, would they be able to trace a line from both front corners to the grenadiers (it's not clear if their final position might have led...

My understanding is that they move a minimum of 2 MU (or half the distance between them and the target). Minimum, not maximum. So since the French start 3.5MU away, the interceptors would have to move a minimum of 1.75MU... but as you say, that doesn't bring them in the way of the French. So they co...

Note, it's a minimum of 2MU (not a maximum) they have to move... they can, and in this case would have to, move more than that.

Can anyone point me to where it defines "seeing" a unit? I'm having trouble finding where line of sight is defined. I know range is from any part of the unit to any part of the target, but how do you determine if you can see the target (for fire or assaults), and when you lose dice due to ...

it goes on to say that the interceptors only move 1/2 move if they are not going to contact the chargers flank or rear It says if you're not going to contact the flank or rear, you have to move a minimum of 2 MU if cavalry, or 1/2 way towards if less. The assaulting unit then moves into contact wit...

We interpreted that as "Retire to 3 MU if closer, or Retire if wavering, or otherwise no advance." That is, wavering units have to roll on the Outcome Moves (D6+4). This is based on pg 55, LH point 4, where it says that if no fire is at close range, the wavering unit retires (and if any fi...

One thing this does explain is why there is a line on the combat tables for fighting guns. I could never figure out why, when, or how you would ever be fighting guns. If in a pursuit, your pursuing unit contacts the artillery during the first half of the pursuit move, the artillery won't get a Reac...

I would rule the CMT must be taken to move across the obstacle and it would be as an assault in the Assault Phase, with Defensive Fire taken against the attackers at the obstacle (with benefit of cover) and if passed the assaulters are moved into contact straddling the obstacle if necessary, withou...

Per page 101, "An unbroken battle group ... always pursues unless: - It was fighting enemy in two directions."

Thus, it doesn't pursue.

Also signed up for the beta test, hoping to provide a tester/opponent for anyone else in the Victoria, BC area.

Related question...

Can you deploy the BG with 1 rank of non-archer foot, 1 rank of archer foot, and 1 rank of non-archer foot (basically, squeeze the archers into the 2nd rank). Would this allow the archers to shoot in the shooting phase (which might improve their utility somewhat)?

If you have cavalry lancers facing light horse and a move of 6 MU (i.e. the 4 MU uneven terrain move plus a maximum VMD boost) would mean the lancer would enter uneven terrain then the lancers will not be forced to charge. If the uneven terrain is more than 6MU but less than 7 MU the lancers would ...

Doesn't it also extend the 'charge range' for purposes of determining which units may charge without orders? That is, HF Impact Foot has a charge range of 5MU if their possible target is capable of evading and a valid target to cause them to take a CMT to avoid charging?

THE END GAME Roman Turn Nine (Rome 8/17AP, Carthage 8/17AP) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/2646632673_c93eebeb5d.jpg Still a draw, thanks to the rallying of another scutarii by Carthage. Not much to say at this point - the wings are mucked up in battles with Rome managing to hold the advantage...
