Stepping Forwards on an Intercept Charge
Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 4:12 pm
Quite simply, does it happen?
Do BGs performing an Intercept Charge step forwards?
Do BGs performing an Intercept Charge step forwards?
From the FAQ:
When does an interception charge step forward?
Charges are declared, interceptions are responses to such charges.
If the interceptors are intercepting the chargers from the front, both chargers and interceptors are in reality charging semisimultaneously.
However, for the sake of simple game play the interception charge is moved sufficiently to get in the way
of the original charge and then the original chargers are moved into contact. The interceptors do not make contact – they
therefore do not step forward. The original chargers step forward as usual.
Where an interception catches a BG in the flank or rear this is a different situation. The chargers’ move is cancelled and
effectively the interceptors charge them instead. In this case it is the interceptors that are making contact so they do step
forward.
