yes i was the one who started the thread, we used to action one charge at a time, but in this game we moved all charges first before resolving any shooting or combat

our opponents tried this trick in a northern leauge game we had just read these post's and we both jumped on him right away i think he was a bit shocked by our reaction and did no press it any further

But if the rank that should provide the support shooting is turned to face the enemy - how can it shoot? Or is the original diagram wrong? it was the two bases that should have provided support shooting that was charged in the rear that was the whole point of charging in the lh to take of the suppo...

Since its rear there is no support shooting. I agree with that. The flank bit I added as flank charges can be slightly different. (even more different and confusing if contacting flank but counting as frontal contact because not legal flank contact.) As for order of charges, and which base turns im...

not sure where it says about which charge moves first? it says in the turn sequence make charge moves so i assume each one hits at the same time as i read the rules the back rank turns immediatly and because both ranks now have enemy in contact with front edge one base is turned to face the flank ch...

sorry about the diagram one lh unit was behind the lb unit, i have read the rules and i cannot find anything that backs up that interpretation, am i missing something?on the day we accepted the decision we still won but i still cannot accept this was correct! all 4 players thought it was wrong, but ...

i thought i knew this rule but at a competition at the weekend we had an strange interpretation lhlh lhlh lhlhlblblb lhlhlblblb cvcv cv the cv charge the front of longbow unit one lh charges the flank and one lh charges the rear, on page 56 it says bases contacted on a side or rear edge or a rear co...

that was my view he was busy routing when the second mf bg was testing for seeing broken friends, common sense realy

in a game last night han mf foot failed to depoy p/o and were charged by kn after combats the mf were fragmented the han inspired gen was in combat, in the han bound the mf broke and out ran the kn, the mf next to it rolled a 2 for seeing friends break which would drop them to fragmented, my opponen...

yes thanks, we had being playing it one charge and evades at a time, we have only being playing4 or 5 years now

ps what would have happened if the kn bg had charged first?

in a recent game we had a situation we had never seen before my opponent charged a unit of lh lancers against a lh bow unit which did an evade to the rear the charge would hit another lh bow unit and it also evaded, so far we feel we got that bit correct, but further to the right my opponent failed ...

ok so no movemeant and placing stakes but do you dice for each unit or once for the entire line

if a battleline wants to deploy stakes does each unit have to take a cmt or does the battleline dice once
does deploying stakes take an entire move or can you move first and then place your stakes

I think you meant not as a battle line , and if you are undrilled battle troops you can not turn and move, so its still restricted to the smarty pants drilled show offs only for foot troops at least. it was two units of irreguler kn, 6in away from our units, he diced for both turned 180 and did a s...

in a game we played recently a battle line of two irreguler kn with a gen 6 inches away fom nearest enemy turned and then both moved away in a second move, both units passed the test to make the turn i think this was wrong, as i read it a battleline can only do a simple advance which means it cannot...

that is true but i was in a plantation so only one rank could shoot so i would need to hit him twice to make him test and three times to get him take a death roll, failing only on a one
why should anyone take a -i on test for losing to lancers in rough when they only count there lance in good going

yes at the time i was in two minds if i should charge or shoot, i thought i was on better factors if i had known i had lost the plus for spear i would not have charged, i guess i am still thinking of dbm factors, it has made me take another look at mf and lf in uneven and rough they are not as safe ...

in a recent game i had a bg of immortals who charged a bg of lancer cv who enterd a plantation, i now know that was a mistake i lost the advantage i had with the light spear because i charged shock mounted, so on impact we had two dice each on 4 but what was realy annoying was in the melee the cv ex...

in a recent game defensive spearmen charged a bg of fragmented kn in the flank but were themselves hit by an intercept charge from another unit of kn, am i correct in saying the charge lost them the + for defensive spearmen and gave me a+ for my lance against charging spearmen also in the same game ...
