|
So, this occurred last night.
MSwd 2HW vs 1/2 MSwd 1/2Bow
Dice are 3:2 on the initial round of combat.
The Swd/Bw are entitled to a plus one for missile support.
The Halberdiers get a plus if they beat the Swd/Bw.
We assumed these two factors applied simultaneously in the same way as the armour/2HW factors.
Correct?

All mêlée modifiers are done simultaneously , except quality modifiers (p55) which are applied before all other mêlée factors and modifiers.
So both your modifiers are triggered at the same time so both apply effectively canceling each other out _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

Agreed Dickstick.
This works out in the same way that the 2HW bonus cancels out the armour save. |

I thought the q&a sheet made a thing about not similtaneous, but a specific order, with an example 2hw and armour.
Order makes a differance especially v 2hw. If you get to a draw before they add their win bonus, then no loss and no 2hw win bonus e.g. by adding in elite
In this case I read the rules whilst Dave went to the loo and had to admit that i was the looser (as I was on the elite one v clive at reading a week earlier, damm). I am pretty sure I read 2hw before support, not simultaneous, although in this case both give the same result. I will check again |

Elite /mediocre are the quality modifiers that done first. Rest are simultaneously done. _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

See faq
2 Handed Weapon ability
Q : If a unit with 2HW attacks a spearmen unit with the Support capability, in which order should you resolve the effects of the capabilities ?
A : First apply the effects of the 2HW, then Support (like the armour effect).
Q : Does the 2HW ability just cancel the effect of Armour and Heavy Armour abilities ?
A : In practice the factors will have the same effect as cancelling the armour effect. Nevertheless, you need to apply all the factors as listed p16.
So generally works in favour of the 2hw, except for supported spears where they effectively loose their tie break bonus

Hello, can I get a clarification on the timing of the bonuses?
The FAQ says 2HW then support, but the rulebook says "when you win a melee." As stated above, the timing of the effects would make a big difference if 2HW should apply or not. Is there a specific list of modifier timings so I know what/what not to include before using the 2HW (or armor) post melee effects? |

I guess my concern is more the Support addition.. What if you have support and you attack a spear that has support? Do you get your Support modifier and they don't get theirs'? Or is Support in the FAQ referring to missile support? If so that needs clarification because support is a totally separate concept |

Support in ADLG is missile support. Its a post combat +1 modifier that can only be claimed by units who lose in the first round, unless they lose to someone heaviliy armoured.
Overlap is sometimes called support in other rules, but in ADLG its overlaps. Overlaps always get added to your base factor, win or lose. _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

Erm RAW page 50:
Support
A unit engaged in melee can receive support from other friendly units... |

Thats referring to an overlap, as it states the support comes from another friendly unit. In the context of the OP its missile support _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

That's great and all, but that nomenclature is never mentioned anywhere in the rules, so an outisder like me sees support in the faq and thinks it refers to supporting units. I shouldnt have to search the closed facebook group for answers |

Aaaah - I think I see.
The distinction is addressed in that section of the FAQ, where the text refers to a "unit with the Support capability"
That's different to the support modifier, which is generated by the presence of other units in overlap positions.
Capabilities are part of each units inherent, basic abilities (armour, weapon type, furious charge) whereas other modifiers (uphill, overlap, attacked in the rear etc) are sitational and generated by external factors. _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

Even if modifiers are not simultaneous, eventualy result is the same, isn't it? _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

So one of the things that is being worked on is standardizing word usage.
One of the effects of the FAQ translation process was imprecision. Now that was less important, because the game is meant to be played by players not by litigants. But it arises.
The edition being worked on, hopefully will correct some of the verbiage between rules and FAQ.
However, I can assure you the FAQ language referring to "support capability" is referring to "missile support capability". The "support modifier" is different.
