Title: 3 questions from yesterday
Post by: AntiokosIII on November 10, 2019, 07:48:26 PM
First one was a unit of Burmese crossbow sitting in a swamp. The unit is poor, unprotected, and combat shy, hence hiding in the swamp. It decides to turn 180 degrees without moving. Must it take a KAB for moving in a swamp? We couldn't tell, and took the KAB just to be safe. Correct? Or is reversing front without change of location a move?

Second one was a melee. Two units with zero factors fight, rolling green because they are even. What color does the overlap roll (also zero factors)? White, or black?

Third; a unit of superior lancers charges a unit of skilled crossbow.  Does the skilled crossbow roll white dice with S results counting as wounds...just like experienced crossbow, so Skilled crossbow is not a benefit when charged by Superiors? That's what I thought.

Thanks ! I am hoping these are easy ones for somebody.

White as you roll 1 colour down from that which you would roll if in frontal combat.

I think you're right - the S is counting as a Wound for 2 reasons  :o  Again a bit unusual as Skilled crossbowmen are not common.

To confirm NG right on both of this.  The WHITE+ effect is X or Y for that reason.  Just needed and verge target then you would be GREEN+.

That's a good one!!  You guys are so mainstream!

My intent is yes as any activity causing people to have to move through it has risk. But not clear so have just changed terrain entry for the book to

UGs suffer a KaB if any bases in them move

Thanks as not one anybody playing mainstream would ever find!  :P

Is being 'mainstream' good? If it is, thank you.
