Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Patrick Byrne]

Here is a very basic question.
If Unit A is moves into 120 paces to attack Unit X, then a GAP is created
(the whole minimum space existing between two things verbage). Now since one
shoulder of the GAP is unbroken enemy not fighting in HTH, can Unit A charge
Unit X. Per the rule Unit A can not charge through the GAP it created.

Now that question is basic, and it is bulls#@!.

So here is another one (and hopefully better):
Say that Unit A and Unit B are approaching enemy Unit X. Unit A approaches
within 120paces of that enemy Unit X, thus creating a GAP between the two
things!. Can Unit B charge through the Gap that Unit A created?

Per the rules you can not, unless Unit A is slightly angled so that the
closest points between the two Unit A and Unit X is on the far side of the
charge.

1. Yep. It IS bull@#$% but it does conform to the letter of the
rules.

If unit B is behind Unit A and can interpenetrate, yes. But if we
adhere to the letter of the rules as above....... :P

You will notice that there is NO chapter in the rules called Common
Sense. ROTFLMAO

Nice conundrum dude! I wish I had seen that. Talk about a rules paradox!
Hey, how about "bodies that are declared as a target of a frontal charge do
not count for gap determination" I sound like a broken friken record here,
but it fixes this one too.
