movement of general

Post by domblas »

yest at club,

my oponent moved his general from the Bg he was fighting with arguing that movementrestrictions to générals only apply in manoeuvre phase so in the JAP he could move it even if it was engaged in melee. I checked the rule and couldn't argue but it looked weird to me

who's right?

If i understand you correctly you say his general was fighting in melee. If this is the case page 50 top left side of page states

....Once declared as fighting in the front rank the commander cannot leave the front rank of that battle group until it is no longer in close combat and no longer in contact with enemy routers'.........

is clear and unequivocal.

Anyway, it isn't in the Manoeuvre Phase chapter it is in the General Movement Rules chapter.

You were robbed.

Is it a FAQ?

I've never seen anyone try to do or argue this before? The rules couldn't be clearer- once comitted he has stay.
