Evading question

[babyshark]

Say, for instance, that a BG of LF evades a charge. After following all the bullet points regarding evade moves, it ends in a position that is legally chargeable by a second enemy BG that had already declared a charge this impact phase.

Can that second enemy BG choose to charge the LF instead of--or in addition to, if possible--its initially planned target?

If yes, can the LF BG evade a second time?

I read and re-read the evade rules but I cannot determine the answer. Am I missing something?

Curious,

A second evade is not permitted. As per the Full Turn Sequence - All charge declarations are made before any Evade moves are carried out, and all Evade moves are (theoretically) carried out before any Charge moves. (Though we do localised evades and charges before those occuring in another part of the table for convenience).

If an evade move takes a BG into the path of an enemy BG's already declared charge then it can, of course, be contacted. It cannot evade a second time.

This is another one for the FAQ.

Thanks for the response. As for the sudden spate of needed clarifications, I am sure it is much better to find these things sooner ratrher than later. Hooray for beta testing!

Something that I think Richard missed in his answer.

The initial question asked if a charge could be declared on the evaders after the evade. The answer to this is definitley no. The sequence of play is declare charges, resolve charges and evades. You cannot charge evaders deliberately but with a clever enveloping movement you can catch them with another well planned charge that was made at the same time as the one that forced the evade.

When it works it's really good fun (unless you are the evaders)

I can confirm from last weekend that it's absolutely zero fun when Lance Flint Serbian knights catch your evading cavalry
