<<I noticed that routing troops have to pass within 80 barkers of a steady
friendly close or
loose formation foot unit rather than the original 240 barkers. I am curious as
to why this distance was changed. It was difficult enough
to deal with routing troops in 7th but at least it was tenable. What's the
point of compounding the complex and enhancing the unsavory?>>

Page 38, paragraph 4 of WRG 7th says:
"Routers other than detachments rally if they have no known enemy within 240
paces; and have either been intercepted by a general or have passed within 80
paces
of steady friendly close or loose formation foot."

Now, we do not feel beholden to keep any particular thing in our rules
coincident with WRG 7th, but in this case, we have.

As a side note, Kevin, most people use the term 'barker' to express a
measurement of 40p, not 1p. Thus, LC tac moves 5 'barkers' in both scales.
Keeps a guy who uses sticks and plays in both scales regularly from saying the
word 'inches' in a 25mm game!

No need for rouge-scrubbing, Kevin!! The problem with email is the lack of tone
in the voice, and I omitted the customary to let you and others know all was
in fun.
Most of us on this side of the pond do not read WRG 7th intuitively. This is,
in fact, the major driver behind our great project: to create a rules set that
advances the state of the art while being readable to the majority of our
constituents. Of course, those who claim that we'd write the same book if we
were page-limited may be right! :)

I would caution all once again that this is not WRG 7.7 or 8. This has become
essentially a new rules set. Kevin was right on to double-check what we had
written, and he may just as easily have found a place where we erred or, more
likely, where we have made the decision to go our own way from a WRG-like
concept. His note made me check back at page 38/WRG and at our rules and
compare and that is a good thing.

Jon, rules (w)hor[s]e

While reading through the rules last night (wife was working the
night shift and the kids were at grandmas) I noticed that routing
troops have to pass within 80 barkers of a steady friendly close or
loose formation foot unit rather than the original 240 barkers. I am
curious as to why this distance was changed. It was difficult enough
to deal with routing troops in 7th but at least it was tenable.
What's the point of compounding the complex and enhancing the
unsavory?


Kevin Santos, Sr.

hmmm, looks I stand corrected right across the board AND should be a little
more inquisitive with my opponents at tourneys. Pardon me while I go scrub
the rouge off my face...
