Just want to confirm, that per 14.45, it is possible to flank march on both
flanks. Wasn't sure, but when skimming archives, vaguely thought I saw
something about this.

Thanks,
John Garlic

It is possible.

A couple of questions came up during a game this weekend. I'm pretty new
to Warrior so I apologize in advance if the answers to these questions are
obvious to folks. Here is the situation....

A 2E HC unit is flank marching. A 6 is rolled so the HC unit comes on in
the rear flank. A 2E LMI unit is waiting towards the front of the rear flank
facing towards the back. (This unit is waiting for the flank marcher to arrive)
The LMI unit is only about 40mm away from the edge of the board (i.e. the depth
of one cav unit in 25mm). In short the question is this... Can the HC unit
charge into the flank of the LMI unit as it enters the board during the charge
phase? This seems to be the case under 6.821 since it says that "troops that
arrive must enter the table by an approach, march, OR charge move".

The alternative (and the way we played it) is that you MUST move in under
approaches and can only charge if you can set up a charge move during the
approach phase. Does the fact that only one element could initially enter the
board in a charge move affect the situation at all? Thanks in advance.

Right now, Paul, from your description the cav unit could indeed charge onto the
table in the charge phase and potentially hit the LMI in the flank if the LMI
were so positioned.

The new 14.45 will require both that the arriving units are positioned along the
table edge as part of the events phase and that all must come on in approaches
if they can and can only enter by charging if the *must* enter by charging. in
this new case, that LMI will be able to see the flank march and would have the
opportunity to counter.

Thanks again. It's promising I managed to interpret the rules correctly ;} For
what it's worth I like the proposed rules change to 14.45. In the case I cited I
would have benefitted from the ability to leave "hyperspace" on the flank of my
opponent and charge. However, It doesn't strike me as the best way to model the
effects of such a flank march. It will be good to have the defender be able to
respond to a charge from off table.
