Title: Zealot skirmishers

Hi RJC,
Would you mind clearing this up for me.
Zealot fanatic skirmishers...
Erm...

They still break on contact with TuGs don't they, even though fanatic, unless in terrain?
If in terrain they would fight to the bitter end?
Maybe...

Thank you.

The Fanatic definition in the rules only makes an exception for the number of bases lost before breaking (although it is given as 50%+ which is not the usual break for SuGs but does talk of UGs as opposed to TuGs/SuGs) and not for SuGs being broken by being contacted by TuGs

I think Nik is saying n a lot of words that Zealot skirmishers in the open are dead meat if contacted by a TUG.

Yes, Fanatic skirmishers still break on the usual rules if contacted in the open. It only affects the break point of the unit for casualties.
