Art De La Guerre

I'm not following this at all. Is the issue that the HC do not have a target beyond the LI, and are trying to make a free move through the original position of the LI??

As Zoltan pointed out, the Charge procedure on page 43 requires the LI to evade before the slide, wheel, and/or turns take place, so they are already gone.

[Garbled nonsense.]

[Should have read it first. The procedure does not indicate you orientate before indicating the direction of the charge.]

They could disengage as a group, and since they do not, it suggests they intend to engage in melee, and this ruling is to their benefit.

Ok, so it was simple!-)

My background is in hex-based board wargames. Usually, the rules are axiom based with separate examples of play to illustrate the subtler interactions. So whenever I see a r ...

Yes, something like that. But that is a unit attacking the camp and since you will want to keep doing that, it takes care of itself. Suppose you are looting, you are attacked, you manage to win the me ...

FOLLOW-UP QUESTION

There is no rule that says if a looting unit is attacked, it stops looting. I suspect it's an obvious oversight and it should be understood?

I'm not sure where the disconnect is happening. I'm seeing my question as clear and simple...

Page 36 suggests you can use a slide within the most threatening enemy's zone of control to make sure y ...

Are you suggesting that page 36 is referring to an initial slide? I.e. the charge is starting in the ZoC?

Appreciate the reply.
Page 43 seems to restrict charges to an initial slide (or alternatives) and then straight ahead advance.
Page 36 seems to allow a charge to slide within the MTE's ZoC to ensure ...

I'm trying to understand page 36 second bullet and its erratum vis-à-vis page 43 4 bullets 1 and 2.
A charging unit may slide at the beginning of its charge, and may slide once in the ZoC of the MTE ...

Have to agree with Steve. It is not a charge at the time of contact, and it's clear from p. 63 that that is necessary.
(Yet another reason to keep things formal.-)

How did A get there anyway?
Move A into support - win the melee - pursue into the bow front and flank gaining a cohesion hit...

This thread is about a very simple question. If shooting eliminates a unit, and a general is attached to that unit, must the general flee or be captured?

I'm beginning to think the better answer is ...
