Note that it's Lionel's post, but Hubert's words.

Certainly, if you anticipate moving the looters next turn, you want to roll this turn - it's the difference between 50% and 75% availability.

If ...

I am quite familiar with that thread.

By "formally resolved" I mean posted where the customers can find it, explicitly endorsed by the Direction Technique rules committee, and later eithe ...

Over on the Facebook group, there is a question about whether you can target LI in front of heavy troops and avoid continuing the charge into the heavies beyond the minimum charge distance. This is pl ...

There is a long-standing question about the implications of the second bullet at the top of page 48.
If the evading unit starts within one UD of rough or difficult terrain it cannot slide to avoid it ...

A camp can be 1-2UD on one side and 2-3 on the other. But you are right, often you could evade.

I don't think that's right, Steve. The unit cannot evade as the looted camp is impassible. Nor is it subject to multiple attack (by one attacker) as the camp never attacks, just "defends".

The problem is here:

Pour chaque unité en contact, on lance un dé et l'unité cesse le pillage sur 4+.

The (English translation of the) rules don't say this. They say looting continues if the ...

Hehehe. So what happens if it's impetuous foot looting, and they have a target (unlikely to be sure) and you roll a 4-5-6?-) Do they go galivanting off without a command?

The rule in question is:
Before giving an order to a unit looting a camp its commander must roll a 4+ on 1D6. If this roll fails, no orders can be given and the unit continues looting the camp that t ...

DS, I reread this and realized I had missed your last line.
Have to say I completely disagree. The last bullet seems pretty clear that the camp is no longer an enemy asset, but a terrain piece:
A ca ...

My view on this is that if there exists a route to the target that is legal - in this case one that cannot leave it in penalizing terrain - then you must take the shortest such route as the other rout ...

1 CP seems reasonable, but I don't see how you can get there without amendment. The infamous half my impetuous foot group is in the operational zone, the other half in the tactical zone is also moving ...

It's a weird one. The rules discuss a "unit" so their application to a group has to be extrapolated.

But it's still a problem with a single unit. Suppose a single impetuous med sword unit ...

Note that the effect of pavises, cover, or fortification is not cumulative. Any one gives a -1, but two or three still only gives a -1.
They also get a +1 against mounted, unless LI. (Thus heavy troo ...

Martin, take a deep breath and look at everything your slide says. It says the advance is optional. We agree. Then it illustrates and states Maximum move distance and Minimum optional advance. There i ...
