Hi
Having just returned from the Warfare comp, I'd like to get a clarification on F2-F4 break off moves. During a game, my devastating charger chariots broke an enemy cavalry unit and therefore pursued. As F1 control pursuit is not an option for dev chargers they charged straight into a line of waiting spear. We fought this combat in the next charge phase. As the chariots are now at some disadvantage to the spear, when I had a card I used an F2 break off. All well and good so far.
During the next game, my opponent was coincidentally on the next table and came over to say that we had done that wrong, that dev chargers cannot break off. I cannot see on the play sheet anything which supports this view. The rulebook page 145 also has no prohibition I can find on dev chargers not being allowed to break off nor in the dev charger characteristic on page 204. For dev chargers, like Gauls, surely breaking off so they reform and charge again is a sensible strategy for them, if somewhat tricky due to their tribal status?
