Charging and Visibility

Post by rulethechaos »

On page 9-1 the rulebooks says that to charge the enemy base must be visible to the attackers.
What are the criterias for being visible? Is there an arc of Sight?

There's no arc of sight, BGs can see all round. The only thing that blocks visibility is terrain. Appendix 2 details how. For example, troops wholly inside a Forest are only visible within 2MUs. If you are more than 2MUs from such a BG you cannot see it and therefore cannot charge it.

Hi rulethechaos

Unsure if this matters but in V2 just be aware that a charge can only include a single wheel of up to 90 degrees.

Therefore they may be visible to you but not a legal charge target.
