Just had this happen today in the event in Manchester never had it before so here goes.

I charged two Japanese Medium foot Heavy weapon Bow* each BG of six bases in the open only one had general with three BG's each of four bases Superior Skythian Armoured lancers two with generals fighting in the front ranks of 2 BG's.

I disrupted them as you would expect, but then i got lucky killed the general with one of the battle groups therefore he had to test for losing General through a combined total of 3 less one for being disrupted and therefore broke dropped two levels.

The BG next door also disrupted had to test for seeing a general killed through a total six less one went to fragaged. Having also to test for seeing BG route they through a total five therefore braking also.

One routed of table one hit the camp and slide along and off the table one of the lancers throwing to pursue hit the camp the other Lancers hit a BG of medium foot in the flank and went on to frag them in the impact and rout them in the melee phase.

I think I have written this correctly my opponent was a great guy who just shrugged his shoulders, his dice was bad if he had stood for the melee phase it would have been evens.

Just wanted to say my Skythian Lancers did the job and never hide behind fortications like someones Lancers did anyone we know Spike?

Shouldn't that have been one test with a -1 for 2 reasons to test, not 2 tests?

Yup - should have gone fragged, which would have affected things only minimally

your right it should now you come to say have been frag on one the other still routs but against 2 x BGs i think they might have lost next go 3 dice against 8 dice re rolling 1's and 1's and 2's for the other as close to table edge 6 MU's minus 3 should they lose.

Must say sorry to opponent I think it would have just deleyed and as they were the BG evading of table they did'nt intervere the catching the other BG in flank.

I must admit never doing this before i forgot you only test once with a minus.

As the victim in this debacle I'd like to add that Dave's memory is probably obscured by his euphoria, but what actually happened was both BGs only took one test and both dropped straight to Routing from Disrupted. So, apart from incompetent dice rolling on my part, we did it right at the time.

Other than the result it was a very enjoyable game.

i think we can't loose 2 levels if we roll two on moral check for seing a commander die. its only in battle, when u suffer at least 2 hits and 2 more hits than u inflict.

You can lose 2 levels for either seeing a unit break or a commander die I believe.

I would like to thank Kevin for one of the most enjoyable FOG games I have had to date. It was played in a freindly style actually talking to each other so once again thanks Kevin,

Quick reference chart says you can lose 2 levels by: if close combat received 2 more hits than inflicted, or seeing freinds break or commander lost, otherwise lose 1 level.

So yes seeing a general die will unerve the lads enough to cause a rout. Just a horrible thing when it happens to you.

Yes, but only one test. The point is he rolled a 6 and dropped a level and then rolled a 5 for a second test. He SHOULD have rolled the 6 and gone down an extra point for a second reason to test... this would have meant that his net result would have been dropping one level.

Hi Everyone
Before this gets out of hand Kevin collored me on Sunday morning I had a few pints on Saturday night wrote it up and got it wrong we did only test once as Kevin said it was a extra minus to the score for testing twice and i got the score of the second battle group wrong it was a four minus two and a break.

So everyone don't drink and then think you can remember everything sorry to everyone
