P.69 Army Rout states: "At the end of each player's sequence, a check is made to verify whether one or both armies are routed."

Event organisers who use the "dice down" approach ...

So if during Mike’s Movement Phase his battle unit had contacted an enemy on its side edge and immediately inflicted the final cohesion hit required to rout it (enemy already fighting in melee on it ...

@Ramses - it is not “wildly hypothetical” to place a (non CinC) commander in ambush (with some troops).

The effect of your recommendation is: if a commander is placed in ambush, ALL units of hi ...

And so to reframe the original question that started this thread.

All units of a corps start the game hidden within two ambushes A and B. The corps commander is included in ambush A. For example, t ...

Has anyone played a game where this question has had a material bearing on the outcome, or enjoyment, of a game? It’s never come up in any game I’ve played.

One tricky question.

If a commander (not the c in c) is in ambush and not visible, how can you determine where his visible units can deploy?

Do you measure the command range from the ambush mark ...

Generally I ignore the "kick-out" effect. So a unit that is flush with the table side edge can wheel inwards towards the table centre without fear of its arse falling off the edge of the wor ...

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?
