Fleet of foot

[badhabum]

A player argued that as his infantry ( loose or close ) had the fleet of foot characteristic, he could disengage as a SK unit.

As the characteristic only precise that the unit moves as a SK unit , the question is open ?

IMO it is pretty clear.

The characteristic says that with FoF the unit moves using skirmisher movement distances but get no other benefits - i.e. they are not skirmishers/SUGS for anything.

So for moves whilst you move the skirmisher distance, you do not cost the movement as skirmishers - so a break off is done using the TUG columns for which card colour you need.

TUG column but 2 or 3 MU back

Which means how far to the back, SK move or INF move

[nikgaukroger]

Ah, sorry, got the wrong end of the stick with the question.

For Fall Back M13 move as they are not actually skirmisher infantry as per above so cannot be a M12 move - so 2 BW max.

But you do get the advantage of being able to an F3 against non-FoF infantry

[nikgaukroger]

Indeed - unless fighting skirmisher infantry (not common but can happen).
