Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Mark Mallard]

Hi,

Last night I played against mongols for the first time since the list rules
came out. I fielded seleucids.

I was a little suprised at the lack of use of the interpenetration rule, but
it was his first warrior game (a long time 7th player). I think it was due
to a lack of understanding of this new rule, i certainly was not exactly clear
on the following possibility which i suggested after the game. I thought this
might be a strategy for getting the Mongol HC into my units without him
taking a prep shot on the HC.

A unit (X)of mongol LC 4 elements wide approaches to 40 paces of an enemy
unit (A).
Behind and touching the unit of LC, exactly in the centre is a two deep HC
unit (Z).

ZZ
XXXX

AAA

Can the HC see the enemy?

Can the HC charge through the LC? (There is no room for the chargers without
moving the LC backwards).

Is the answer the same if the LC are skirmishing?

Is the answer the same if the LC have been disordered by shooting and/or
have opted to recall?

thx

No.

I think so. You don't need to see your charge target if you charge using a
legal interpenetration. You can move the interpenetrated body back up to 100
paces to make room. I have to assume from your ascii diagram that either there
is room or that the LC can be moved 100p back and make enough room.

<<Is the answer the same if the LC are skirmishing?>>

Yes.

<<Is the answer the same if the LC have been disordered by shooting and/or

Yes.
