Ok Mark, I am not sure I understand your ‘complex example’, but I think you are referring to the timing of actions in the earlier phases, which are key and need to be considered carefully. Conside ...

Ok Mark, to answer your questions, please re-read p68. The pertinent points are the 1st bp, the 4th bp and the 8th bp:-
Routs and pursuits are conducted at the end of the player’s sequence after t ...

No Mark, you have completely misunderstood this.

As Kevin and Zoltan have tried to explain, when the unit suffers a disorder hit, this immediately affects the attached commander (per p28). Howeve ...

Per point d above. No, if the commander is engaged and the unit routs, then the commander is lost on a 1-3. See bullet #3, p 28.Totally correct.

Sorry Zoltan, there is no ‘timing issue’ here. ...

Agreed, though this is really a ‘non-question’ due to the game’s sequence.

An enemy unit has moved (or started) in range of the heavy artillery. Before the corps can do anything, the player ...

Agreed Kevin.
A unit with an attached (or integral) commander may sustain one or more hits. Irrespective of the number of hits, you dice once to see what happens to him at the end of the turn. (P ...

Ok ecnomus, because you refer to an Ambush marker, there are two parts to the answer
Geometry: When a 1UD base moves 1UD, its rear edge will clear the ‘shadow’ of its original location. An ambush ...

Hmm. I am only too human and have a fallible memory.

If this is indeed official, then there ought to be an errata as it clearly contradicts the rules as written.

There are two situations here ...

No Andy, there is not enough space for a 1UD base to fit in the gap which is less than 1UD, the distance at which the ambush is revealed.

Consequently as Neep says, if the ambushing unit advances ...

Andy;
Yes, declaring a charge is against a single unit / group. The charge process then handles the situation as events unfold.

Zoltan, Kevin;
If AA stand against the charge of impetuous XXXX ...

Agreed.

. . . . BB
AA

. XXXX

Using the example presented by Andy, XXXX are 4x cavalry facing up the page, AA and BB are two pairs of LC facing down. All the formations are parallel.
...

So it seems we have got to the correct answer, despite my inadvertent attempts to confuse Embarassed

The issue is whether there is a road at all.

P72 states that the road may not cross impassable terrain. Consequently there is no bridge over an impassable river and thus your comparisons are not r ...

With respect, I suggest an impassable river is by definition impassable terrain.

Consequently it cannot be crossed by a road, which in turn renders the above discussion superfluous.

Let’s mo ...

Having finally read p72, it seems we are all wrong . . .Road
A road must be 1 UD wide and between 10 to 30 UD in length. It can pass through all other types of terrain (except a coastal zone and impa ...
