|
Situation arose in a game at the 3T's in York.
A group of two units (A & B) charge an enemy unit so that the outside corner of A contacts the front of the target unit. During the charge unit B enters the ZOC of a separated enemy unit, in a legal fashion. The charging group now conforms to the contacted target. No problem for unit A (it made contact), but unit B unit would end up exiting the ZOC of the separated unit by conforming to a support position on the target unit. Is unit B allowed to conform or must it respect the ZOC it entered during the charge?
Note: the ruling was that unit B could conform, although the umpire was very unsure. |

I can't see anything to cancel the effect of the ZoC on B. Sounds like the umpire used page 11.

P. 50 would seem to govern this.
Citation: | Once contact with the enemy has been made, each unit that was within charge range conforms against the most threatening enemy (see p. 35). |
and p. 51
Citation: | ZoCs and restrictions on contact with the enemy must be respected and take precedence over the obligation to conform |
One thing that IMO has been made very clear in v4 is that respecting ZoCs is almost always operative before anything else (shifts due to confirmation is about the only way to leave a ZoC unless you evade out of it). |

Ethan is rignt. respecting Zoc is THE point of V4, the Grall, and so on.
In the case related, the firs question is if the unit charged by A and B exert Zoc on A and B. If yes, either go to the more threatening ennemy, and conform after contact, if not
A contacts 1, B would be in overlap position but is zoced by 2
A conforms to 1 and brake the group, B can stay or continuing the charge to 2 and then conforms toutou!
And now, i have to glue A's arm! _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

Thank you Lionel.
That's much clearer now.
Just one bit I missed - how did A and B change places?

Just see P43 bullet 8. |
The answer to that then is “No, it cannot continue its charge and contact a new enemy†as it is in simple support (“front corner to front corner contact with a friendly unit that is in melee on its front edge against an enemy unit†- p60) at the moment bullet 8 p 43 which covers “Continuing a charge†is resolved (which is not allowed to troops in support) , which happens before bullet 9 p 44 “Conformation†(All units that have contacted an enemy must then confirmâ€) is resolved.
Correct? |
