Brigade dispersal
Hi, I've just joined the forum as our group is going to try GDB for the first time. When a brigade has to disperse, but a unit is still engaged in a melee, what happens? Does the unit continue the melee until resolved, or does it disperse immediately? thanks

TM, If a brigade is subject to a Mass Panic result then all units are simply removed from play in that morale test phase. If a brigade Breaks then any units currently still in melee will break off and retire with their brigade. Hope that helps. DB

Hello, I am a bit confused by that :? , how does the unit break off the melee... does it just move in the compulsary phase? and can the opposing unit pursue - cavalry can pursue the full retire distance? Why should this override the melee result which I thought counted as that unit morale check anyway (I realise that brigade morale is after unit morale, but once in melee I assumed you fought until the melee was resolved). Cheers, Andy
