180 turn and simple move

[nigelemsen]

Hi,

A unit more than 6" from any enemy battlegroup with a general in legal bases to base contact.

Can the unit (undrilled knights) make a 180 degree turn as a complex moved. (Rolled and passed) Then as a second march move move its full legal distance away as long as it is a simple move and remains more than 6" from any enemy battlegroup?

I think so as it was done as a second move. Byron thinks not? Byrons point was around the way the QrS splits out the rules. I think so as it as done as a simple 2nd march move.

Both have gravitas.

Cheers

Hi Nigel

Check the points on page 75 of the rulebook.

The first 3 are easily passed.

The 4th, "The second move by a battle group or battle line must be a simple advance." is the key. You have already mentioned this point and your 2nd move adhered to it.

A resounding YES from me.

The rules seem to have no problem with doing this and it's how everyone plays it that I know of. Perhaps the sheet is wrong? It's not part of the rules after all.

OK, what am I missing here. What seems to be the issue with the QRS and 2nd moves?

[nigelemsen]

Byron was interputing it according to the qrs layout in the boxes. Qrs are fine, byron couldnt grasp the distiction between a movement phase and 1st 2nd moves in a movement phase.

I think he has been short changed before so coloured his view. I or david f will put him straight.
