Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Mark Stone]

Jon,

These came up in a game last night:

(1) A unit of elephants with a detachment of LI attached behind it is positioned
such that the LI, but not the elephants, are partially on a steep hill. Is the
body disordered?

(2) On Bound N, a body of javelinmen in the brush is approached by enemy
comprised of a scythed chariot and a unit of peltasts. The javelinmen can
clearly see both the scythed chariot and the peltasts. The javelinmen are Irr
B, but unsupported. On Bound N+1 the scythed chariot moves to within 240p, and
the peltasts move such that they happen to be intervening between the
javelinmen and the chariot and thus the chariot is not visible to the
javelinmen at the moment of charge declarations. Can the javelinmen declare an
impetuous charge (assuming no other causes of unease besides the lack of
support)? The rule on unease clearly says "visible", but this circumstance
seemed to stretch the common sense of that a bit.

According to the revised 12.0 - yes. But I need to look at that and am adding
this question to my review notes.

Has to be visible at the point unease is checked for.
