Why do the french think a general can leave a mêlée in the movement phase?
Is it written different in the french rules?
Anyone with both books? _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

They think a general fighting in the front rank can leave?
I have played several french players and never heard. |

We have awaiting translation a rule that stops an effect that could only come about if a general leaves a mêlée in the movement phase.
In the English edition that cannot happen.
So what gives? _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

if the general is engaged in melee, he must stay until the end of the melee (one of the units rout or disengage). The general can't leave and let the unit fight . _________________ Audentes fortuna iuvat. |

Lets wait then until the FAQ arrives in English then as it seems we agree on current reading of text.
Will have to be patient to see if there is a puzzle to be solved _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

I don't know where you're heard that...
In the french version, as fdunadan says, the gal can't leave the mêlée until the end.
If the general is attached with a fighting unit without beeing himself engaged in the mêlée, then he can leave the unit in the movement phase.
Because he's not in the mêlée... |

And the English translation of the FAQ is now available (in the Rules section). |

I am presuming this means the unit the general is attached to is breaking off, this the general is no longer in melee. |

The unit containing a general may disengage from a slower enemy.Â
However if this occurs at the start of the movement phase, the rest of his commands still count him as ‘engaged in melee’ so +1. |

Got it. Thanks.
Seems a bit harsh but I rarely break off.
Someone must have put some thought into the situation so it's probably for the best.
So if I want my general out of a mêlée, I must get the unit to break off.
So not hogwash after all. Sorry for that accusation. _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |
