Thanks for the text! Could you explain this statment, please : " ...they cannot deal with Cataphracts, although they can often do well enough against Knights or Elephants " ? I see that Knights have +3 CM vs +3 of Bow Levy, so they can resist somehow. But what is the differences between Cataphracts...

#1 is legal but stupid. #2 and #3 are legal. Every point on the stand is getting closer (or staying the same with respect) to a matchup with the appropriate opposing point of the enemy stand putting them in zoc. Easiest way to determine this is to look at the corners. Left corner (pivot) of the red...

Gentelmen, can someone explain in a formal and precise way what is meant by toward in 52.2.c. There is no explanation of this word anywhere in the rules. I have given some diagrams below. Which of the following movements are acceptable and would count as "...toward front contact or alignment with th...

That is why they have to be lined up, i.e. organized and prepared to fall back like one big unit of Pike with Skirmishers deployed and working in concert. This is what the lined up requirement represents, a level of organization and coordination and command control that starts to fall apart as the ...

Thank so much Rod and David!

After some reflections I had one thought...
Doesn't it look a little unusual that one stand of Skirmishers can easily push back an entire column of close order troops (up to 3 stands in column, as I get it right)?

Case 1 the skirmisher falls back through the pike. Case 2 the skirmisher cannot fall back through because there is no open space behind the first stand. however, since the skirmisher is aligned it can push back both stands it's full base depth. This is significant to remember when facing elephants ...

Hi guys! I would like to clarify one situation of the Fall Back move with Pass Through . I have two similar cases and in both of them the stand of Skirmishers lose close combat to the Warriors stand and must Fall Back . 1) Right behind the Skirmishers there is a friendly stand of Pike in full edge c...

Thank you Bill, the idea with blank deep bases of the right size is useful. :geek: But what to do with the moving of the rear corners and rear edge of the stand? After the fall back 20mm deep stand will become 5mm further than 15mm deep stand and it can meet someone... :? However I understood the ma...

Thanks guys, now it's clear!
