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 ...

Making an uncontrolled charge is, by definition, a game mechanism that automatically occurs when a “deliberate decision” to do something else can not occur due to insufficient CP. (Yes, I realise ...

I sympathise with the sentiment Zoltan, but them’s the rules as they say.

I disagree! Them’s how you are choosing to read the rules.

What was the author’s rationale for including an explic ...

Well I don’t like it. Effectively creates a vortex of death for simple supporters who lose their neighbours in the enemy’s turn, and run out of CP in their next turn. It’s completely inconsisten ...

Does anyone know where to find the rule allowing a unit not to conform after melee if it would end up with an enemy hard flanking it in in melee support?

Ps I can find it related to uncontrolled ch ...
