Is the D6 movement adjustment for the group or do we throw a D6 per unit in the group if they are some are impetuous ?

Its owners choice whether to dice for individual units or the group, or even a combination. However troops with different speeds must dice separately.

Hi Alan

Where does the bit about a choice come from please,

[Ramses II]

The procedure for variable charge distance (point 7 p40) follows that of the variable evade (point 5 p39). Evaders may form different groups if they have different speeds, but I thought they could also dice for different parts of a group moving in different directions, by forming different groups (evade procedure p38) where part of each group would be contacted. 

Since the choice for evaders to split up occurs before point 5,  I do not believe it is available to a charging group once it has started it’s movement; chargers make that decision at the beginning of the charge declaration when forming the group that is charging.

Mike - I mis-read the question as referring to evaders.

Hi

Thanks for the information.

Dave, the rule is 'An evade move can be attempted by a unit or by all or part of a group in which at least one of the units would be contacted by the enemys charge''. I have always taken that to mean (amongst other things) that a player can choose whether to evade each unit individually or as part of a group. re-reading it I can see it can be interpreted either your way or mine.
