I have a few queries on 6.00 - sorry if they appear picky....

P7 - "All of the bases of a BG must be of the same......"

So can a BG combine different weapons capabilities to save a few points? EG - Late Hungarian Szeklers - front rank with Lt Spear, back rank without?

P20 - Wheeling

Given some of the issues highlighted elsewhere, would it be prudent to limit a wheel to no more than 90 degress? This would then be consistent with wheeling in a charge.

P22 - Interpenetrations

The 3rd bullet lists those troop types that can interpenetrate LF. Camels are excluded?

P24 - Movement of Commanders

When a Commander must 'immediately move (in any phase or turn) to join a friendly BG...' and there is more than one in range, can the owning player choose?

P26 - Charging to Contact Last bullet - 'Skirmishers need not step forward into contact with an enemy BG of non-skirmishers that they otherwise would not contact.'
The italic underline is mine, but does it add anything?

P43 - Sacking Camps

Is a sacked camp removed?

P88 - Terrain sizes - 'A 4 x 6 MU rectangle can be fitted entirely within its footprint.'

So the smallest terrain piece that can be placed on the table must now be at least 4 x 6 MU?

P90 - Ambushing

It has previously been confirmed that a Commander can be placed in ambush with a BG. Would you mind including this here?

Thanks v much

It should be prohibited by the following line:

" If using our army lists, a battle group can only include troops from one line in a list, unless the list specifies a mixed formation by indicating fractions of the battle group to be of types from two lines. e.g. 2/3 spearmen, 1/3 archers."

P22 - Interpenetrations

Camels move as if cataphracts if heavily armoured, otherwise as cavalry.

P24 - Movement of Commanders

Presumably.

P26 - Charging to Contact Last bullet - 'Skirmishers need not step forward into contact with an enemy BG of non-skirmishers that they otherwise would not contact.'

Yes

If they contact at all they must step forward. They cannot use this as a means of only contacting with one base.

P43 - Sacking Camps

Is a sacked camp removed?

Yes, when all enemy BGs in contact have stopped looting.

P88 - Terrain sizes - 'A 4 x 6 MU rectangle can be fitted entirely within its footprint.'

So the smallest terrain piece that can be placed on the table must now be at least 4 x 6 MU?

correct

As the rules presently stand, he can't. We may change that though.

Thank you for such a prompt response Richard.

Camels move as if cataphracts if heavily armoured, otherwise as cavalry.

On P4, Troop Types are defined and Mounted are listed as 9 types from knights to scythed chariots. Listing just 4 types in this bullet would imply that only these 4 can interpenetrate?

We don't specify them separately in any lists of moves - not even in the movement distances chart, so why would we need to do so here?

The answer is that "cavalry" camels can pass through LF, but "cataphract" camels can't.

That's great - thanks Richard.
