V2 Flank Threat?

Post by TERRYFROMSPOKANE »

Since a Coastline is impassable, should a "flank threat" exist if a BG of battle troops is within 6MU of a side edge with a Coastline?

Thanks,
Thanks, Terry G.

There are two categories to the definition of threatened flank:

1. enemy non skirmishers threaten the flank

2. the flank is within 6MU of table edge (full stop)

So RAW yes the flank would still be threatened even if an impassable was between the bg and table edge.

Interesting, does seem a bit wrong. Although I suppose the possibility of a slightly large wave than usual might make all those wimpy soldiers a bit nervous...

Make the coastline terrain piece 6MU, or less than a base depth smaller, problem solved :)
