|
A unit on Side B is fighting a Side A Cavalry unit to its front. The Side B unit is one hit from routing. On Side A's turn Side B's unit is hit on the Flank causing the final hit. Then (on the same turn) the Side A unit to Side B's front disengages (breaks off, whatever the term is). During the route phase does Side B's unit turn to face the unit now on its flank before routing? |

Ooh that's a sneaky one
I would say it turns to face the flanking unit and then any friendly units within a UD of its rear take a disorder.
My reasoning for this is the wording of the Routed Units rule on page 61.
Citation: | paragraph 3:
Routs and pursuits are conducted at the end of the player's phase after all combats.
The following rules apply:
[Bullet Point 1] If the unit is in melee and only being attacked on its flank and/or rear when routed, the unit is reoriented to face the main enemy. |
So although the routing unit was effectively "routed" during the manoeuvre phase, routs only occur after melee. As with, say, a unit with only one "life" left caught in an evade.
Also, it doesn't seem unreasonable for it to rout to its flank as that was the direction of the attack that broke it.

Yep - agreed as well.
Its that sneaky old "this is covered by whats written in the rules say (even though I wish they didn't say that as it bit me on the arse in my last game)" malarkey again ! _________________ www.madaxeman.com |
