Surely if BGs were able to charge in the above circumstances there would be no need for the instances outlined in page 76. The first para under the heading "Front corner to front coreer contact" ends with the words "...they can engage in melee as follows:"... which would suggest to me that the ...

I think that Ravenflight has the answer

Pg 67 - Re the evaders " it interpenetrates friends if allowed to do so"

Then in the second column on pg 67 - " If the above would not allow all front rank bases to complete their evade move the BG must instead burst through...."

Thus if it can legitimately ...

I believe it is adequately covered by the rules as written.

See Page 108 - 2nd bullet. 'adjust as per evade moves'


I pointed this bit out to him but he was not convinced that "adjusting the movement" would allow the routers to interpenetrate without disrupting the BG being interpenetrated. To be ...

I thought so too but could find nothing in the rules to support this

If a BG is burst through by friendly light foot who are routing does that BG drop a level.
I have always played that it does not but my opponent disagreed.
He pointed out two relevant sections of the rules:
Pg 48 "A battle group burst through by friendly evaders or routers drops one cohesion level ...

A BG breaks in the impact phase and is pursued. The pursuers contact a fresh enemy unit and are able to step forward into the pursued unit. Do they step forward ?

If they contacted the pursued unit first, would they step forward into a fresh enemy unit if they were able ?

If the pusruit was in the ...

Thanks Richard. I had forgotten about the move distance

Thanks Nik

Can foot interpenetrate artillery while it is limbered

The reason I asked the question initially was that I had to rule on it at a competition the previous weekend. There being nothing in the rules to cover it my ruling was, by coincidence, what Terry had said including the quote from the other section about units having two fronts. Both players ...

In the absence of any input from Richard himself, I am happy to accept Terry's.

The second thread link on Ghaznavids post would appear to clarify the matter.

Thanks to all for their inputs

If the enemy BG is directly to the front of your Kn BG your LH would need to do a small wheel to be able to contact.

Assuming the enemy LH is evading, it will roll its VMD and carry out its evade move.

You then roll VMDs for both your BGs. The one with the resulting highest move then moves first ...

Can you please indicate where in the rules it states that a BG fighting in two directions does not get rear support. I could not find it anywhere.

Thanks

John

A battle group of four stands is fighting in two directions with two stands fighting each way at a right angle to one another . Can it claim rear support from both rear edges. If not, what edge counts as its rear edge. I cannot find anything in the rules which covers this situation

Thanks

John

Does a BG of shock troops which is in combat, but only as an overlap, have to take a CMT to prevent it charging out of overlap at another enemy BG which is within range.

I see no reason why you cannot have two or three allied contingents from the same allied list so long as each of them conforms to the maxima and minima in the allied list. I think we will just have to disagree on this until an author can come up with a definitive answer.

I can confirm for what it ...

Each allied list has 1 allied commander and up to X number of bases of each type.

Each allied contingent can have one allied commander and up to X number of bases of each type which are then subtracted from the total number of bases of that type allowed in the main list.

Unless specified in a ...

I disagree. Where does it say, in general, that only one allied contingent of each nationality can be fielded? It states that an allied commander's contingent must conform to the maxima and minima in the allied list. Does this not refer to each allied commanders contingent. I can't find anything ...
