first questions after reading the rules

Hi all,

Thx a lot for the beta version.
My first impression is that the changes are in the good direction. However i have some points i would like to discuss:

(1) what are the facings of bases in a kinked column for the purpose of giving and receiving rear support? real base facing? front rank facing for giving support ? rear base facing fro receiving support ?
(2) p 44 "evaders who are contacted by chargers...." it would be better to say "evaders who are contacted by their chargers ... "
(3) p 73 Rallying procedure within 6 MU of ennemy troops: are u sure that it is not subject to cheesy interpretations?
(4) p 36 Charging in a "one base" space between friends become extremly hard to achieve: the restriction of wheeling only at the start of a move makes charge in restricted space very difficult. Its not rare to see "one base" gaps between friends and to charge in that gap to contact the ennemy. With the new rule restricting the wheel, that kind of charge would be extremly hard. The charging Bg would have to be perfectly lined up with the gap to charge.

Can we put all of this into the beta forum from now one please.

Good to hear general direction feels positive - the key is a good set of changes without breaking what is good in the current rules.

Si

Dave Redhead has now posted to the beta forum so it appears to be opening up to the testers - keep trying would be my suggestion, it may just be a process of adding permissions that is taking time.

I do not have your chance. I am still waiting for my copy... and I am also rejected in area 51.

I'm afraid Slitherine are the only ones who can help you. So all I can recommend is getting in touch with them - I'm sure they'll get around to actioning, however, we must bear in mind that FoG is only one of their projects and we may have to wait for it to get to the top of the pile

I'm still waiting for information on what is happening with v2 lists, so it isn't just beta testers ...

You are very unlikely to be able to access the beta forum if you haven't been sent a set of beta rules (although it has happened with at least one person), as send the beta rules is what indicates you are on the beta testing programme.

Also BTW the beta testers forum isn't in Area 51 it is here - viewforum.php?f=128

JDM confirmed that I am in the list of beta testers (also to follow the translation into French). I know another Belgian player how also still waiting...desperately
