Champion stuff! Really useful, thanks.

Indeed, thx for this, great help.

In the mean time, I believe the publication of an official index is imminent, no ?

Huzzah!

[Ambiorix]

Well, that was VERY imminent .

[KaVoo]

great stuff !

for sake of clarity:

p. 119 – SuG may charge TuG w/in one hit of breaking.

- I think it should rather read: 'w/in one base of breaking' (page 119 but also 84))

by the way: I cannot find where there are rules on SUGs catching other SUGs (or TuGs in skirmish mode) which skirmished/routed in the charge phase. does the charging SUG get +4 bonus (for charging in the rear ?) help

Yes - it applies regardless of TuG/SuG - so doesn't need a specific rule.
