Questons before first game

Post by hammy »

Ok,

Before I get down to my first game I have a few questions that are fairly significat I could do with answers to:

Terrain: - The text listing terrain groups on P17 is significnatly different to the table. I assume one was updated and the other not, which is correct?

Lineup: - I see in the various diagrams around combat that lineup is desireable, why? What difference does it make to be lined up or not?

Impact POA's - several are listed as 'if charging' do these count only in your bound? If so surely this will create a mexican standoff with Pk not wanting to move into charge reach of Pk.

Generals - OK, there are three tyoes of generals, I can see places where an IC makes a difference but I can't for the life of me find any rules diference between an FC and a TC. I assume there is a command radius thing but it isn't in the rules that I can find.

There are a number of other minor artefacts left over from previous versions and consistency issues but at the moment IMO they don't matter that much.
FWIW the major consistency issue is that throughout the rules from time to time they refer to dice or alternatively D6. IMO this should be dice throughout the rules.

Looking forward to game 1

>>> Well spotted, it needs to be fixed. The table is most up to date, but is still in development.

Lineup: - I see in the various diagrams around combat that lineup is desireable, why? What difference does it make to be lined up or not?
>>> The idea is that there is no difference between lining up and not, though for aesthetic reasons we want battle lines to tidy themselves up if able.

Impact POA's - several are listed as 'if charging' do these count only in your bound? If so surely this will create a mexican standoff with Pk not wanting to move into charge reach of Pk.
>>> We are working on the wording of this and will get back to you soon.

Generals - OK, there are three tyoes of generals, I can see places where an IC makes a difference but I can't for the life of me find any rules diference between an FC and a TC. I assume there is a command radius thing but it isn't in the rules that I can find.
>>> The generls have different command radii

FWIW the major consistency issue is that throughout the rules from time to time they refer to dice or alternatively D6. IMO this should be dice throughout the rules.
>>> Ok will do
