Slitherine

Hello,
in my last game happened like this:
my opponent charged with his BG of LH against a BG of my LH. I evaded. He made his move as well, but doing this he would contact on the flank a BG of mine of knights. He didnt want to contact my knights so he wanted to stop within 1inch to them. I told him he had to contact them, he couldnt choose to stop because a BG may stop only if would contact another BG which couldnt normally charge. As LH while charging on the flank they never test as should do while charging in front to unbroken non-skirmisher, i thought that he hadnt to stop but he had to impact the flank of my knights.

Am i right or wrong?

Check page 60, skirmishers stop 1 MU away from any target that is revealed by an evade if the target would normally require a CMT to charge. In this case they won't hit your knights even if they wanted to sine they had no reason to roll a CMT prior to the charge. Score one for your buddy

I don't think you've answered Hermano's point correctly

From page 60:
- LH can not charge into a target revealed by evaders if the LH would normally require a CMT to charge that target; instead they must stop 1 MU short (bullet 3).

- LH do NOT require a CMT to charge the flank of knights (bullet 2).

- Ipso facto the LH must charge the flank of the Knights revealed by evaders.

Correct LH can charge anyone in the flank or rear without a CMT .

The LH, not needing a test, would hit the flank of the Knights.

Guess I read that one wrong thought it said you had to roll to hit a non-skirmish target, must have been too late at night or just overly addled brain.

You are right Hermano. His LH are in so much trouble! If you are lucky you can break them in this move and pursue. The it is your move and the Knights may have good targets!
