General de Brigade

[tykemalcolm]

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.

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
