Hi All ,

A BG pursues and contacts a routing group with one of its files . The other two files contact a new BG . That becomes an impact for next turn .

In the melee phase , who fights the new enemy BG ?

Is it just the 4 elelments in contact ?What about the other file ? Is it an overlap ? Or is it in contact with the routers so not in the melee?

Hope this makes sense , thanks

I believe that in the melee you only get the 4 elements in contact. The other file in contact with the routers makes no contribution and has no effect on the routers either.

If the BG contacts the new BG and the routers after the melee phase, the impact takes place next turn. However in the JAP the routers would do a rout move which would break contact and therefore would no longer be in contact. So in the next Impact phase it would be 4 bases vs 4 (assuming that's the width of the enemy) and the melee takes place as usual as the routers are long gone!

I don't have my rules with me, but I suspect the when the pursuing BG contacts the routers, they lose a base automatically.

Thanks guys ,
No Don , the rout happened , the JAP phase rout happenend and in that pursuit the routers were contacted . It becomes next turns impact and melee . The original routers won't leave contact til the next JAP phase .

To make it more complex the pursuing BG was disrupted . Do they drop to 4 dice or 3 ?

As they don't actually fight vs the routers, they start with 4 dice which then goes down to 3 due to their disruption.

Great thank you , that's how we played it
