May a strategist re-roll any result on the Terrain Adjustment table?

[fdunadan]

Yes, the strategist allow you to have an extra roll for controlling the terrains. You can use it for re-roll on an element, thus ignoring the original roll.

Hmmm. I believe the language in the rule book is that the strategist can reroll a failed terrain adjustment dice. That implies a roll of 1 or 2.

The rule says : "if the army is commanded by a strategist,the player can try to move or remove one more element, or can re-roll a dice (so he can have two attempts for the same terrain elements). And the FAQ says " The Strategist can try to control one more element than usual (or twice the same). If the first attempt is a success, then he can’t move the same element twice.


So all the question is "what is a success for an attempt to control the terrain ?"

I think the FAQ has to be understood in the way that an attempt is a success if the player likes the result enough to move the terrain
If he dislikes the result, he doesn't move the terrain element and then he can re roll.

So to summarise:

A given terrain piece may only be moved ONCE by each player.

If a strategist rolls a 1 or 2 for a particular terrain piece, he may make a second attempt on that same piece. This is called a "re-roll" in the English version of the rules.

If a strategist rolls 3,4,5 or 6 on his first attempt for a particular terrain piece he MAY NOT make a second attempt/re-roll on that terrain piece.

Instead of a re-roll on a particular terrain piece, a strategist may chose to roll to move one additional terrain piece more than normally allowed (per page 68 section, para 2).

You are spot on AC, the Strategist may reroll the dice if he did not adjust the chosen terrain piece, but he must accept the result of the reroll.

[Zoltan]

So if you roll a 3,4,5 or 6 for terrain adjustment (regardless of the commander's quality) you are always entitled to ignore the result and NOT adjust the terrain.

You don't have to attempt to adjust the terrain. But if you do attempt, you don't have to follow a 3,4,5 or 6 result. Of course you MUST abide by a 1 or 2 result.

[fdunadan]

Yes, moving the terrain is never obligatory: you MAY move it up to 4 or 6 UD or you MAY remove it, depending of the dice roll.

And a strategist allow you to make another roll if you don't like the first.
