Rules Queries and Clarifications / Forced Chargers
June 01, 2023, 08:42:01 PM
Hi I had a situation in my last game which the rules don't seem to cater for.
If a TUG of devastating chargers is sitting behind a friendly TUG engaged in combat (touching front to back) and must force charge in the next charge phase but cannot make contact with the enemy TUG, they could not reduce frontage by one file or use the half BW shift to avoid the friendly TUG in order to make contact with enemy TUG, what can they do?

The Free charge options don't seem to apply. We played it that both TUGs took a KAB test and just left it in place.

Why has the army builder and list been placed in One Drive. I don't have One Drive account, i don't want one and now i cannot access the army builder or list.
Most disappointed.

I need some help, we had a situation last where we had a single line of elephants 4 bases, I shot the 3rd base and killed it with two wounds, therefore breaking the line. I.E. from left to right elephant bases numbered 1 to 4 , by removing the 3rd base there was a 1BW gap in the line. My opponent did not reform the line in the movement phase but in the next turn wanted to charge. I felt he had to reform first by M1 action Redress ranks, none of the other actions seemed to apply IE M8 as within 4 BW of enemy Tug.
Which would mean the elephants would have to suffer another round of shooting before they could be prompted to do something.

Thanks I hoped that was the case.

List Queries / Later Achaemenid Persian Lance armed
April 19, 2022, 05:09:56 PM
Hopefully some one will be able to help on this point, the above army list lets you upgrade Kinsmen cavalry to lance armed but what does this do?
Does it make them charging lancers or should that have mounted long spear?

Hopefully some will be able to help me, the above army list allows for Kinsmen Cavalry to be up graded with lance, but what does the lance do?
Does it make them charging lancers or should the weapon be mounted long spear?

Thanks that's what I assumed and presumably the Shatter rule doesn't cost any points for Elephants?
#11
What does the Elephants rule 4, mean "Automatically get Shatter potential" surely they still need to roll a Skull or S.
#12
Thanks noted but if the elephants were in the camp that must have been in the army although not used for battle and if Alexander could use them in his army the Persians could have done the same.
#13
Can anyone know why the Royal, Satrapal & later Achaemenid Persian army lists do not include any Elephants?
The Alex Macedonian list includes elephants, with a note 15 being captured after Gaugamela.

How do you turn and move pikes?  Moves M10 & M11 state not pikes,  so I am assuming you need to use M14 to get a double action/move in the same game turn.
