Jon,
I must say I am somewhat intrigued by the demoralization rules comments
suggested by Tim Grimmet. Certainly interesting.
I play tested the Warrior rules today for the first time, and found what
seemed to be descrepencies from how we normally play 7.6. I am sure this is
my failure and nothing to do with the rules, but could use some clarification.
I could find no rules that addressed units taking a waiver test when
converted charged into. I thought converted charges precluded all charge
responses...support shooting, counter charges and waiver tests ie loose
order caught in the open by mounted.
Also on Conveted charges: If my opponent has a few units in echelon say 40
paces seperating the shoulders of the 2 units both facing in the same
direction. Basically parallel units just one stepped back from the other by
say 40 paces. Now if my unit hits the furthest forward unit frontally and
breaks it and the pursuit carries me into the front of the unit echeloned
back, is that a converted charge? I thouhgt a converted charge had to take
place when a unit was uncovered by a routing unit or an attacker bursts
through a unit and hits an other unit for a charge to be a converted charge.
Yet I could find no such deliniation in the Warrior Rules.
If I take CPF's in HTH don't I have to rally as soon as I am no longer in
contact with my opponent? Or can I continue to move. The must rally
situations does not speak to troops taking casulties ie enough damage to
cause at least one CPF having to rally. What if I take 3 cpf's in battle and
do not maintain contact with my opponent. Am I in a must rally? Can I
continue to move at my leisure just staying disordered?
When do troops who evade in good order turn to face the enemy again? We
always played at the end of the following approach phase. Again we could
find no ruling on this matter.
Can foot archers who charge support shoot with their back rank?
Can crossbows in 2nd rank support shoot after 1st contact?
I've been playing for so long I know the answer to most of these or at least
how we have always played, but I could'nt find answers using just the warrior
rule booklet.
Thanks for your help
Chris
