Mouvement en contact avec l'ennemi
Q: I am moving a line of Spears as a group. I can just barely contact the rear of a single enemy Cav element in good going with the corner of my Spear line. Does it have to conform?
A: No. You must stop short. To force the Cav to conform you must contact it with your front edge in most cases... not your corner. The only exception is when contact is prevented by part-element spacing between enemy elements or physically blocked by elements, terrain or a table edge.
Q: I am moving a line of Spears as a group. I can just barely contact the rear corner of a single enemy Cav element in good going with my front. Does it have to conform?
A: Yes. A group contacting a single element in good going with its front edge forces the enemy element to conform. In this case, the Cav will conform on contact to having its flank or rear (whichever requires the least movement) in contact with the Spear. The Cav will then turn to face after the movement phase.
Q: I have a line of cavalry that moves into contact with the side edge of a single Light Horse element. Does the Light Horse turn to face immediately or only at the end of the movement phase?
A: At the end of movement. If the contact is not in front edge to side edge contact with front corners in contact, the Light Horse conforms immediately. The turn occurs after the movement phase.
Il y a là une petite astuce : dans le 1er cas, un coin du groupe attaquant contacte l'arrière de l'élément solitaire seul (illégal). Dans le second, le front avant du groupe attaquant contacte un coin arrière de l'élément solitaire (légal). La distinction doit être là pour empêcher d'outrepasser la distance mini à parcourir pour "fermer la porte" dans une prise de flanc.
Lorsqu'une groupe touche, avec son front, le coin arrière d'un élément seul, ce dernier doit se conformer (sur le flanc ou sur l'arrière selon ce qui prend le moins de distance). Par contre il ne se tournera (front contre front) qu'après les mouvements.
Combat
Q: My opponent is facing my line of Blades with a Pike block. I moved another element into side-to-side contact with the rear Pike. A flank contact against a supporting Pike counts as a flank contact against the front element. Does my side-to-side contact against the rear Pike element count as an overlap?
A: No.
Donc les débord ne comptent pas quand ils sont appliqués aux unités de soutien.
Poursuite
Q: My Pike block just recoiled an element of Knights. Do my Pike pursue?
A: No. Most foot does not pursue mounted except in special situations. Please note that Hordes are an exception and do pursue mounted in most cases.
Les Hordes poursuivent même les montés. J'ai tendance à l'oublier
Démoralisation à BBDBA
Q: In a BBDBA game, the smallest command of my opponent’s army has become demoralized. He has several Pike elements in close combat with my Blades. They are all supported by additional Pike elements to the rear. Does he have to pay a PIP to hold the rear rank, or are they considered in close combat?
A: They must pay a PIP to hold if they can count as a group or a PIP per element if otherwise. A pike element providing rear support is not in close combat in the situation described, though it would be if the front element were contacted to front and flank. In BBDBA the element providing rear rank support will need to be steadied (a PIP expended to hold) if the command it belongs to becomes demoralized, otherwise it will flee.
Les éléments de soutien d'unités engagées en combat doivent quand même être maintenue par 1 PIP lorsque le corps est démoralisé.
