Lone Commanders ?

[Keith]

What happens to commanders that are out on their own , can they be charged or shot ?

Can they charge in on their own ?

There were rules for this in the beta but I can't find them on the new rulebook!

In the section 'Movement of Commanders'......

If a battle group’s move would take it into contact or within shooting range of an enemy commander who is not with a battle group, he must immediately move (in any phase or turn) to join a friendly battle group, if there is one within his normal move distance. If not, he does not move and is immediately lost. It is not necessary for the enemy to declare a charge on him, nor to halt their move at the point of contact.

Only brave and dead ones - very on their own...

Mind you they look good at the front of 4 mediveal knights or a dozen Gallic warriors!!
