Indeed, p108 is specific that evasive troops can evade if they would be contacted by pursuers (unless in close combat, not as an overlap), and indeed skirmishers in the open must pass a test if they wish not to evade.SonofTosh wrote:I note you can have multiple combats and pursuits in the same Impact phase, Impact pursuers fighting any fresh enemy in the same phase. So I think there is an argument for multiple evades too?
I suppose your question is whether some LH that evade from one BG of pursuers evade again when
(a) another BG of pursuers moves that would contact them after they may their evade move
The answer to (a) is that they evade if they would be contacted by pursuers. Pursuers move at the same time so the bisect the "angle of charge" of both pursuers to evade (unless they can evade to their own rear).
(b) the same pursuer, after routing another BG that they hit, now pursues into the same LH again (likely only to happen when rolling up a flank).
The answer to (b) is new potential pursuit contact = new evade; they have now evaded 3 times this turn without even finishing the Impact Phase.
