Can multiple units which form a valid group deploy stakes as a single action together (using a group move) ?

[Mick Hood]

I was asked to ask this very same question this week. Anybody got an answer?

You can use a group move to set up stakes in front of your bowmen.

Thanks for the reply. Any chance of an 'official' reply from someone who's involved with the rules?

or failing that if others could confirm that this is indeed their understanding of the rule.

Thankyou!

Deploying stakes count as a move:
may be performed using the general's point.
may be used on a group and even if some units in the group doesn't have stakes ( Bowers and HI for exemple).

Provided you have the necessary CPs:
1) Can you double move, then place stakes?
2) Can you move within 4 UD of the enemy, then place stakes?
3) Can you remove stakes, then move if starting within 4 UD of the enemy?

If deploying stakes indeed counts as a 'move' then 2 and 3 above should not be allowed, but then the use of stakes would only be very defensive, as in response to a directly threatening enemy or perhaps premature to a desired aggressive placement. For example, moving to within bow range of knights then planting stakes in their Frenchy faces.

If I recall correctly, that would be a legal move in FoG Ancients?

Can I please double check this.

Take a group of 4 longbow units side by side in a group. Does it take just one pip to deploy/uplift stakes covering the whole group frontage?

[fdunadan]

Yes
