Intercept charges over disordering terrain

Post by hoodlum »

Scenario

A unit of LF in disordering terrain declare a charge on the flank of my LH unit (in the open) that is in combat with another unit of LF that is fragmented.

I have a second unit of LH which can move four inches into the path of the LF charge.

Can I declare an intercept charge even though it is over disordering terrain?

furthermore, if it was a Cav unit is the intercept charge four inches whichis greater than the amount it can move in that terrain or is it restricted to three inches?

The ZOI... extends... only through terrain that does not disorder or severely disorder it.

Hi,

I think the above quote answers both your questions - neither can make an intercept.

...and I don't think your LF can charge anyway, against LH who are in the open!

Don't have the rules handy, but I thought LF could only charge other LF in the open.

Then you were screwed....

Pg 60

"...A BG entirely of LF cannot charge or intercept unbroken NON SKIRMISHERS in open terrain (even in flank or rear)...

SKIRMISHER CAN ALWAYS CHARGE/INTERCEPT SKIRMISHERS

I have a mental block about this rule.
Bill McCambell explained it to me at the IWF. Correctly I might add and here I go repeating my original mistake.
