General de Brigade

[White Feather]

Hi,

Managed to give the rules their first 'serious' roadtest over the weekend. A few situations seemed to crop up more than once which, hopefully, someone can help with.

1) a unit, in column, is moving at half-speed in difficult going. When it changes formation, into line, which takes a full turn, what happens? Does it deploy, but unformed until the following turn, or something different?

2) Are morale tests in the charge phase, for both attacker and defender, considered simultaneous?

3) Does reduced visibility distance effect the General's bonus?

4) A unit is unformed by friends retreating through it in the compulsory move phase. It remains stationary and so reforms in the movement phase which counts as a full move. Does it still count as unformed for firing purposes in that turn?

5) if a brigade skirmish screen is formed from units of different quality they recall as per their average morale. I assume that this also applies when testing morale. Does it also apply to the number of firing dice?

6) A unit disperses as a result of morale which causes a brigade morale check, which causes the brigade to retire. In the following turn do the remaining units still have to test morale for seeing the rout?

Hope its not too much at once Ken

Thanks very much for that.

Just to clarify with regard to point 2.

I understand that the defenders respond to the attackers, and that in the morale phase itself unit tests are simultaneous. But, if two units charge together and one routs/retreats, does the remaining unit take this into account in its test to charge home?

Thanks Again, Ken
