Title: Two quick questions from last nights game
Post by: Pyrrhus on August 01, 2021, 04:35:06 PM
Couple of no brainers that my befuddled brain hasn't sorted out:

1) Can an army with a Competent Instinctive commander have a Talented Instinctive ally general? I don't believe so but...

2) Does Shatter/Shove carry on into the next combat round? For example, in the charge phase the attacker obtains a shatter result. One of the files affected is not in contact/combat but would count as supporting in the melee phase. Does the shatter result carry over? I thought I read that is does not but I haven't been able to find the reference.

Thanks everyone.

Kent

PS Isn't it great fun to be back gaming after so long?

Yes they can.

No carry over.

Thanks for your quick response Nik. You have come to the rescue again...

Off to finish my game pitting my Late Western Imperial Romans against my mate's Indo- Greeks. Not going well for the Romans. 8 files of experienced darts and not a single wound. His 2 TuGs of 3 elephants are turning my Auxilia Palatina into Auxilia Palatina jam. I love my Late Romans but haven't figured out how to use them effectively. I think reequipping my Auxilia Palatina with Experienced Darts at the expense of losing Melee Expert was a big mistake.
