Support Shooting with Immortals

[HansJansen]

Page 98 of the rulebook define support shooting. I run EAP and wanted to know if my second row of bow counts as support shooting in impact.

Thanks,

Hans Jansen.

Does it count on a Thursday when there is a "Y" in the month and the last dice roll was cocked?

[philqw78]

So you've folded then Hammy.

[shall]

Argh you cheated ... I had already checked there were two others so I could have the last one .. no fair taking 2 in one go !!

I think that's it so will have to fold also.

There is another future possible. If Samurai are based 30mm deep and are Bow armed (not Bw*)
If the Samurai front rank just, by a gnats todger, enters a gully and is then charged the rear rank shooters will not be able to see the charging troops, being more than 1 MU away.

This is nothing to do with immortals, and is dependant upon the umpires interpretation of the visibility and shooting rules, and how samurai are classified. Thats why I thought I'd mention the village first.

Rear rank shooters are treated as shooting from the front rank yes? Later Crusaders with mixed XBow BGs shoot from the spear base yes?

[ottomanmjm]

yes
