1) If the reference sheet is to be updated, putting the full terrain setup procedure on it would be a big help.
2) Please please remove any reference to rounding from the rules. 1 per 2 or 1 per 3 is more than adequate.
3) I am not convinced troops in a single element wide column should be able to move at full speed through any terrain. Just doesnt seem plausible to me, and given how easy it is to contract into column, it seems to give skirmishers (LH especially) too much speed and flexibility.
4) Are the rules on attacking the camp to be changed....I heard vague rumours they were......and if so, I think that a fortified camp should be made tougher - it costs almost as much as 2 superior legionarys...
5) In order to simplify and remove the need to remember, perhaps remove the prohibition on rallying troops who lost a cohesion level this turn. To compensate you could make it slightly harder to rally?
6) Clarification is needed in the rules for how formations are turned 90 and 180 degrees - mixed formations of HF and LF especially.
7) A thought on army books - whilst there may be special cases of things that troops in particular armies did.....can all the rules for this please be in the main rulebook?
There is an anomaly whereby it is impossible to move 2" forward and contract - you can move 3" or more, or do it whilst stationary (subject to CMTs).9) Clarification required for how movement takes place when in 2 Zones.
10) Clarification required for which troops can expand into an overlap position when in melee. I think it should be only those who are not contributing tothe melee if they remain stationary.
11) Pursuit moves for bg's in column or in a deep formation when they flee a line of 1 base deep figures. The pursuing group seems to end up in a very strange formation.
12) If a bg has another bg directly to its front - say 1mm away, and is charged in the flank......under certain ciircumstances,( and i cant remember them though jd may) the front group may have to drop back for the conformations to take place.......
