Break offs and interception charges

Post by clivevaughan »

In our game last night Alexander and a BG of his infidel Companians charged into my brave Ghazis. Some quickly went off to sample the 72 virgins in paradise but in neither the impact nor the melee phase did we incline to become disrupted. In the JAC Alexander slunk off, cowardly breaking off. This exposed another unit of companions. Being Ghazis, keen to get to paradise, we charged them at the beginning of our bound. We hit them but were also inteception charged by Alexander.
It's not clear from the rules whether we did this correctly. These state that when a cav unit breaks off from combat with steady foot they pull back to prepare for their next charge. It seemed reasonable to us for this to be an interception charge but I just want to confirm that this is the case.

Yes they could intercept after breaking off - no reason why not

If each hero gets 72 virgins and each virgin can only be "used" once, where do they get all the virgins from?

I don't think limited resources would be a problem for the all-powerful creator of the universe.

What martyrs aren't told is that 72 virgins also equals 72 mothers in law!!!

72 virgins x short time period => 72 mother-in-laws x (rest of eternity - short time period)

Now there's an incentive to stay alive on the battlefield!! No wonder they fight with re-rolls!!

It is also not made abundantly clear that the virgins are female...

Or under 60 for that matter...
