Bolstering question

We recently found we applied in a wrong way a rule about bolstering. We bolster troops only when at 6 MU from enemy, and I found this limitation is only for broken troops. This means that can we bolster troops while in melee? (of course provided they don't drop cohesion in the same turn we try to bolster). I don't find any rules against it and in effect it seems reasonable.

Yes. And this is a very important part of the rules mechanisms.

Bloody hell Mario, you've been playing some tough games

Quick though, most likely.

Yes, we are members of "win or die" party

. Curiously enough, our games last a lot, near 2 evening game, but this likely because we are slow player

. Or will it have been due the toughness of our miniatures?

I had a unit once that bolstered from fragmented to full recovery (over 2 turns) and then broke their opponents who had originally fragmented them.

Now thats revenge..... unfortunately they got flank charged the turn after they broke their front opponents and I have never had the same bolstering luck with that unit since.

A BG of sword and buckler men charged a BG of longbow, the longbow disrupted them on the way in, fragmented them at impact and killed a base then over the next few turns the sword and buckler men with their commander bolstered back to steady and routed the longbowmen
