Enemy def spear. Light foot are caught.

You lose that dice unless there is another half dice that can come from somewhere else

Could combine it with any other half dice from any other bg but must use the worse to hit value for that die

Thank you.

Can someone point out where rules say bg fighting as an overlap does not get -1 poa against shooting.
PROBABLY obvious.
Gino

SMAC

I thought that if the battle group was fighting then any bases shot at get the -1 poa
Bases fighting or in overlap are not eligible targets.


Gino
SMAC

Think about it this way
If you charge in and don't expand the overlap bg still gets the benefit of being in combat against shooting even if they have not actually thrown dice in the Melle phase yet. Perhaps that helps you clear it in your mind.

I know whomever works to keep the ELO scores updated has a thankless job and it is appreciated but do you think it could be caught up to date? I think the U.S. rankings have not been done since January

It is appreciated.

The bases are an artificial construct. I would rule the wheel is possible and legal

A team would be most welcomed. You would be ineligible to win (ie represent the US at the ITC) but otherwise it would be a bunch of fun to have you put a team and vine help us separate the cream from the curd.

Zoltan you failed yo answer main question.

Can the cavalry intercept.

If the cavalry are not with 5 inches at the declaration of charge then they are free to move forward and intercept

If they choose not to intercept they may become a target when the evade and vmd are rolled.


Gino
SMAC.

Seems a clever use of LH if you ask me
Now if only the Cats had bow you would be in a pickle.

Gino
SMAC.

Does one take the negative on HPB against shooting if in column. Ie only count first three ranks?

If a bg has to break off but cannot back up 1 mu due to a board edge do the go off the board or drop a cohesion level.

Gino
SMAC

Well done. That is the spirit.

Good luck.

Yep exactly. We require all troops to be Average.

Gino
SMAC

If you fureners are gonna copy us yanks why not copy all of it?

Our Average Joe (4th year running now) must be 100% average troops.

It makes other armies that do not see the table too often viable.

Give it a try.

Gino
SMAC

Remember there is nothing illegal about a 4 in 1st row and 2 in 2nd row formation.

Gino
SMAC

So Dave,
You are saying that if a BG of Knights has Light foot to the front with Elephants at a total of 5 mu's away that they have to roll not to charge the LF and if they fail and roll up on the VMD that they MUST hit the Elephants?

Gino
SMAC

Yes that is the crux of this particular issue. Must we treat the light foot as if they stood to calculate the charge path (Including the step forward)? Do we consider the possible Variable Move Distance as part of the charge path? Does either of these definitions of the "Target or the Charge&qu...
