You had me going there Lawrence - I've been rather slow to realize your comments were satire.

Break off occurs if at least half its close combat opponents are Steady foot, "counting only front rank bases in contact other than only as an overlap." All the enemy bases are overlap, so it's 0/2 = 0 which is less than half so no break off.

PS: Its always interesting to hear others comments and interpretations to see what others are doing and thinking.

Indeed, it makes it much easier to find my mistakes.

Aloha,

Thanks for that, I missed the rule on page 106 about overlaps. So really this type of maneuver unless an act of desperation would be a bad move for the cavalry.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate the comments and find that it really helps to go through specific examples to see how it would play out.
