OK so the physical presence of the enemy Light Foot constrains the amount of wheel the chargers may declare, regardless of the fact that the Light Foot does not exert a ZoC and must evade.

The charger declares its charge and indicates with a marker an intended wheel. At this point no units of either side have moved.

It becomes apparent that enemy light foot would be contacted by the ...

The p.43 charge rules provide the general, and most frequently encountered, case during a game. Generally, charges are mostly declared by units that start outside an opponent’s ZoC.

The p.36 erra ...

So could we please have clean restatement here of when a non-included commander is at risk of being killed (via the opponent’s die roll) or is automatically lost?

Following up on (the Google Translate version of) part of Lionel's earlier reply:

"Therefore, on the turn following the pillaging of the camp, which occurs as soon as a unit contacts it, the f ...

Yes Lionel's explanation (using Google Translate) was very helpful, thank you.

I think the hang-up some of us have been having is that the plain reading of the English of bullet 3 on p.66 DOES appe ...

@Ramses and Lionelrus

So you are saying that the RAW actually means:

1. A unit that is looting the enemy camp may chose to make a (free) die role every turn (until successful) to stop looting.
...

No. A roll to stop looting is explicitly linked to an intention to give orders (P.66, bullet 2). If a General is unable to give orders, ipso fact there can not be a roll to stop looting.

2. If you ...

It is quite clear that impetuous units do not have to "continue" a charge if it would result in an "exception".
I must concede that it is moot if they do continue whether they ha ...

1. There is no such thing as an “impetuous charge” under ADLG.

2. There are impetuous units - which are ALWAYS impetuous throughout the game.

3. Impetuous units are SOMETIMES required to mak ...

Deleted my rubbish.

I think we do understand each other.
We agree that units not in contact should not be forced to enter the jaws of death - normal units need not charge, and the exception for impetuous units allows ...

@Ramses - I’m simply using the uncontrolled charge rules as an example of where the rule writer has made it clear that he doesn’t want units to be sucked into a jaws of death situation.

My view ...
