Application of information/answers to Rules Questions

Post by Claudius »

Much useful information and many opinions appear in the Rules Questions discussions.

Which answers/info/opinions should we use to update our FoG rules, and apply during gaming?

Is there an official online organized set of rules [beyond going through all the Rules Questions] that incorporates the seeming large amount of information on rules and clarifications?

Cheers/Thanks

There is a FAQ, presently at v3.0. It is located at http://www.fieldofglory.com under the "On the Field of Glory" heading.

To be honest the vast majority of rules questions asked can be answered simply by reading the right rule. There are several areas though where there are issues and they are being covered in the FAQ as they are discovered.

So are we to assume that the 15 items currently in FAQ [at v3.0. It is located at www.fieldofglory.com under the "On the Field of Glory" heading] are the only rule mods that have come out of the large set of Rules questions?

Should we apply those immediately to our gaming?

They seem too summarized, and seem to miss many of the opinions and ideas found on the Rules Questions discussions. How are the "FAQ" rule mods selected?

Thanks/Cheers

A lot of the discussion on this forum is along the lines of "How does X work" rather than actual rules issues.

The items in the FAQ are at the moment the only official clarifications. There are a few other potential clarifications that may result from some of the discussions here like the one about wheeling in a charge when there is a BG in the way that can evade but may restrict the wheel or what happens if you pursue into contact with an enemy BG and are then charged in the enemy impact phase at the same time as you are charging the enemy you pursued into.

If in a tournament game someone trys to pull a "but in the forum someone said X" then unless it is in the FAQ it is what is written in the rules that matters.

Finding stuff is an indexing problem, which has already been hi-lighted, and people will have to be patient and wait until someone can create one, which is a bit better than the one at the back of the rule book.

I believe that the team have rectified the finding things in the index problem to an extent by posting Mr bascombe's very useful index at http://www.fieldofglory.com/onthefieldofglory.php

This combined with the errata when they move on from v1.09, plus the FAQ should do.

P.S. like the location, however a little non-specific as I don't know but I suspect there is more than one.
