Hmm, I'd completely missed this rule. I'd taken "(see point 5)" to be a reference to just the distance adjustments.

So if a group of impetuous and non-impetuous units of the same type declare a group charge and the enemy evades then the entire charging group must go the full distance? Because there's no reason to break up the group, such as an intervening ZoC. 

Also, in the case if the elephant and HI group, or Cav and LH, might this increase the chances of catching the evaders?

Dave


Impetuous must go full distance, but non impetuous troop may choose to go shorter, breaking the group.

Imagine now a group of impetuous KN and no impetuous cavalry charging. The basic move of the group is 3, this of slowest troops. If pursuit roll is 5, Kn must do at 4UD move, and cavalry may stop after 2 UD, but can only made a 4 UD move as part of UD moving group.

I think we're in agreement here Lionel. Mostly Cool

I'm still not sure of the justification for splitting a mixed group of Cv and Cv Impetuous during a charge. Just saying that's how it's done in France won't necessarily convince people outside France. Shocked

But in France, we benefit from many year of Holly Words of EL KREATOR, and it's better speaking with god rather than his own saints!

Hi Lionel

So please can I re-ask my original question. Can a charging elephant grouped between 2 pike move 1ud if the group rolls slow, moving as part of the group, or must it move 2ud, splitting from the pikes, or does it indeed roll sepperrate dice due to different spend

I think you said one adjustment roll, one group speed 2ud, so in this case all 3 move 2-1ud = 1ud if the single group rolls down

That's what he said and it seems reasonable.

There will be circumstances where mounted chargers making a variable move simply won't be able to move 2UD especially if it involves turning unmanoeuvrable units such as elephants, impetuous knights and cataphracts.

Mike, if a group consists of elephant (s) and pikes then you roll two variable movement dice one for the elephant and one for the pike. Providing the pike do not throw a 1 or 2 then they can still remain as a group at the end of move.

Where are you getting this from in the rules?

page 40 7- charge movement for the adjusted movement distance it refers back to point 5 (pg39)- Adjusted movement distance it clearly states that a group that has units that have different movement distances are rolled as separate sub groups.

As I've pointed out at least twice above the reference to point 5 is only for the adjustment to move distance. It doesn't take the procedure for evaders and apply it to chargers.

To read it the way you are suggesting fundamentally alters the balance between evader and charger hugely in favour of the charger. See above also.

As lionelrus has said, the procedure is:

Evaders in a group roll for the group as a whole unless made up of units with different movement distance then they roll for each sub group.

Chargers charging as a group always roll as one group.

It could be clearer in the rules though if that is the official ruling no problems. Though I do not understand the logic or the justification for allow evaders to roll as sub groups and charges to roll once.

It could be clearer, true.

The justification seems to be that the active player has made a decision to move his units as a group and so dices for them as such. Whereas the reactive player gets no choice whether he moves them as one group or several.
