Overlap/Fighting Questions

[nikgaukroger]

I cannot remember seeing the above done in a game. Most competent player are unlikely to leave a flank so wide open. In any case, sacrificing the overlap for two rounds of melee is a questionable tactic. If the stationary unit can afford to lose the two extra combat dice from the overlap, it is presumably capable of winning without the flank charge assistance. If it isn't doing that well, losing 50% of the combat dice for two rounds is rather risky.

Whilst a biy unusual it more or less happened in my game against Jerome at the Challenge where I declined to go for an overlap and went to get the flank attack.

Last bullet on page 57 I would think.

This ONLY applies if the charge doesn't qualify as a flank or rear charge. In the diagram above the charge DOES qualify.

True - managed to misunderstand the point

Oh dear, I got another one wrong. I must stop replying from work. Perhaps I should retire, work is getting in the way of my FoG reading
