|
Something came up in last weeks game that we could not resolve in the rules.
A unit was positioned such that it was charged on the flank and then charged on the rear, there was no enemy in the front. So this leads to two questions:
1. Which unit counts for combat or is it zero because no one is in the front?
2. Which unit does the unit then turn to face in its own turn?
This then leads to another question. If one of the units is LI and the unit turns to face it can the combat continue because LI cannot stand and fight on the front? So instead of facing the other unit I can take a risk and face the LI, destroy it and hope to survive to face the other unit?
In the game these question were moot because it was MI and LI and the MI was wounded so same zero factor, and my unit didn't get to the next round My dice were truly bad that day! |

The main unit was that contacting first. The other fight by support. _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

As has been said the main unit is the one which contacted first. And this had to be the non-LI unit as the LI could not have "charged" only moved into support. Unless the combat was in terrain and under specific circumstances that allowed the LI to charge. |

Right. And, if the combat lasted more than the initial round, the unit in the middle would turn to face the main unit.
