Difficult forward move

[marioslaz]

In a game yesterday we had a discussion about difficult forward move. I remembered other undrilled can only move full ahead (of course without commander and within 6 MU from enemy) but my friend said that reading the wording of the rules the situation was different. The rules say "A difficult forward move is one that includes a single wheel and/or is less than troops' full available move distance". So he said this translate in 2 situations:

1. a single wheel AND less than troops' full available move distance
2. OR less than troops' full available move distance

With his interpretation, a BG of other undrilled can make a single wheel as a simple move if it moves its full move distance. I don't want to debate about rules' wording, but only to know what is the official rules' interpretation.

Needs to make a CMT to wheel.

[Blathergut]

needs to cmt if:
-single wheel < 6Mu from enemy
-less than full move < 6Mu from enemy
-or combination of the two < 6Mu from enemy

If you're wheeling not all troops are making a full move.

I will make it simple for him.

Look at Table C (Simple and Complex Moves) at the back of the book. Write "Difficult Moves" on the first Advances line. The last column (Other Undrilled, for which this is Complex) covers Difficult Moves.

Note that there is an exception on page 75 that says no CMT is needed to move in overlap as described there.

You can tell your friend that the English construction " A and/or B" means

"(A alone) or (B alone) or (A and B)"
