Boundaried Fields

[badhabum]

OK but where is it ?

I did not find it and the latest modified terrain table says nothing of it except that you need a BUA !

[Onurbm]

Could not find it either ... please be kind
IWC is next weekend 19/20 and my Vikings would like the opportunity to attempt boundaried fields

Else i will have to avoid Boundaried just to avoid time wasting argumentations

The latest clarifications document in 2019 Rules Materials, https://the-wargames-zone.co.uk/wp/theancientszone/2019-rule-materials/

BOUNDARIED   FIELDS   
• MUST be   placed   touching a BUA   that   has   ALREADY   been   placed   on   
the   table or   touching   another   field   adjacent   to   a   BUA (the   2BW   
spacing   rule   is   ingored   for   these).      There   is   no   placement   roll   but   the   
opponent   still   gets   an   adjustment   die   roll.      Prior   to   800AD   they   a   
bounded by   OBSTACLES,   thereafter   they   may   be   BARRICADES   at   the   
choice   of   the   placing   player   (using the   date   of   the   defending player).
If   chosen   and   there   is   no   BUA   at   the   time   of   placement, they   are   lost.

I really think we need a ruling on this. The clarification does not agree with what I thought was the conclusion reached by Simon after a lengthy debate on this on the old forum. To be honest, I am now just confused as to where we are.

[nikgaukroger]

Craig has posted what is in the most current material, therefore, I would suggest that this is what is official - use that until Si says something different.

[nikgaukroger]

Also is there any actual issues with what is in the claries? Looks reasonable to me and is nice and clear.

Or are the issues that it doesn't quite match people's (possibly flawed) recollections/desires? Or that Si may have tweaked what he said on the old forum to something he thinks is better/clearer for actual 2019 publication?

[stuuk]

I think the 2019 clarifications are clear, but may not match previous discussion.
BUT.. the clarification does say they go next to a BUA that is already down (or a field next to existing BUA).
So you muct get a BUA down and then you can place it next to the BUA.
If the BUA is removed, the field cannot be placed. (so sad)

[Simon Meg-Meister]

Yup right now not easy to get down.

A very old discussion but to be 100% sure, enclosed/Boudaried fields may not anymore be placed next to a village that has been scrapped away

[LawrenceG]

So if I want open ground, I choose boundaried fields and hope my opponent doesn't choose a village?

I could be more précise. Has that rule be scrapped away and I mean being able to place an enclosed field without dicing next to a BUA

[badhabum]

OK so no one to answer 

[badhabum]

What is the answer about this rule : may we or not place the field net to a BUA without dicing

[lionheartrjc]

The RULE was scrapped with the COMPENDIUM EDITION.  Placing of boundaried fields is the same as any other rough terrain piece.  There is a maximum of 1 per pre-laid town or village, so if no town or village has been laid, the terrain piece cannot be placed.  If the number of boundaried fields already equals the number of towns or villages then the terrain piece cannot be placed.

If you want open ground, choose open ground.  There is no circumstance where you can choose rough but not open.

Thank you. The answer was needed as someone ar Rueil insisted on that rule in order to have a boundaried field next to a village
