Title: page 63 7.6 countercharges and intercepts
Post by: PUNCH on May 10, 2023, 07:08:37 PM
Hi,

I don't know if already spotted :

page 63 7.6 the rulebook up to the maximum distance without contacting any enemy and not closer than 1BW.
the QRS: normal move -1 , not closer than 1BW.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Gilles

Maximum move for an intercept/countercharge is normal move -1BW (as per QRS) and it is this that 7.6 refers to when saying "up to maximum distance".

OK, maybe not perfect wording but clear enough IMO  ;D

A case of "It is clear enough only if you already know what is intended."

The term "maximum movement distance" as used in the rules (5.K.7.6 in the pdf)  with no further qualification looks like it is referring to the normal maximum move distance in the table entitled literally "Maximum movement distances".

I think this is probably a typo and the "- 1 BW" got left off in the rule wording.
