Pg 102 and 103. Impact and Melee POAs

[philqw78]

POA are by file so any file that is 4 ranks gets it, files that are not don't

[grandad]

phil what would happens to the bg if 1 file wins the melee and the other dosn't i.e the cohesion test

[philqw78]

The result of a combat is by BG.

POA is by file.

Consider this


_____

The different symbols are the front ranks of pike BG

beats causing 2 hits to 1, but is overlapped by and takes 2 hits from the overlap. Therefore both and have lost

But this is by BG not file.

You must consider the total number of hits the BG did compared to the total number of hits taken to see if that BG lost.
