FF amd Deployment

Post by stevoid »

FF in the cental sector can be placed up to 15 MUs and any troops can be deployed completely behind these, i.e. if they are non-skirmishers they can exceed 10 MUs from the baseline.

Does this include having multiple BGs behind the same frontage of FF, i.e. queued up behind each other so long as their frontage is behind the FF frontage?

Cheers,

Steve

We had some posting on this and I believe the term behind is grey. One author opined (not formal) that the lead BG must be in contact with the FF.

So I think successive BGs behind a FF are probably fine with in the rules.

Seems reasonable. Perhaps in such a situation they could be called starting gates :wink:

I think I was said opiner!! :wink:

I rule that behind means

a) directly behind and touching the rear edge of the FF
b) aligned with it with one base behind each FF, no partial contacts
c) you can be in any formation thereafter as long as every base is to the rear of a FF (which makes them completely behind IMHO)

Hope that helps.

This seems very sensible to me.

Thanks Si, that seems a reasonable restriction.

FAQable?
