If it fails to move off it conforms.This is correct.

Kevin, while the definition you quote is logically correct, conformation also occurs during the current player’s turn as the situation chang ...

Umm, the text reads

If it is attacked by another unit the attack on the camp ceases, and it fights this new opponent. It will then conform to its attacker in its next movement phase

So looting ...

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?

Do you mean something like the thi ...

No problem Steve.
I was presenting an alternative scenario which would fit Hervé’s ruling. It is just possible that there was a misunderstanding somewhere.

Very Happy

So don't think of this as definitive, but Dan H and I asked Herve question #2 several years ago in Lisbon and his answer was that it did count as a charge with the usual first round factors taking eff ...

This applies to "engaged in combat".
I do not know of anywhere that defines "combat" as both shooting and melee. Indeed p23, explicitly list combat as not the shooting phase.
...

I tend to agree with Neep here. In Red’s turn, the bow could slide along the flank of the enemy cavalry (see p41) and conform into melee support. This means that A still cannot charge the flank of ...

Steve, I think Lionelrus is inviting you to reconsider the entire section of Commander in combat.

If the unit to which the commander is attached is routed (by melee or shooting), he must dice to ...

An individually based commander is attached to a unit which is destroyed by shooting.

There is no friendly unit within 5 UD.

Is the commander lost?

Cavalry A must make contact with enemy B before considering the conformation. Since A does not start behind the flank of B, it may not charge B. (See p41, flank contact).

Spot on Zoltan. Stopping a unit from looting prepares it to act some time later in this turn or the next. As Neep says, there may be reasons why you may want to continue looting.

The DT has given ...

I trust you will explain the error of their ways. Smile

Is this going to be added to the errata?
Probably not, because this is really about a misunderstanding of the plain text around the test to s ...

I trust you will explain the error of their ways. Smile

Thanks Steve. Onwards and upwards as they say.

Mark, I think you have the process reversed. The player does not spend CP first before testing to stop looting - he tests first and only spends CP w ...

I totally disagree. You are arguing to prevent an opponent from possibly gaining some very minor advantage in that rare situation where there may be some minor benefit . Automatically testing does no ...
