Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Kelly Wilkinson]

Jon,

Last night during your game with Matt there was a situation
where you broke a longbow unit of Matt's and converted charged into
one of his knights that was within 120 paces of his breaking unit
before and during the rout move. You stated that the Knight did not
have to take the waver test as the knight unit was involved in a
converted charge by your pursuing unit. This got me to thinking
about the situation so I went to the pertinent sections in the rule
book. Here is what I found. . .

1. On page 45 section 6.167 the pertinent information is in the
second sentence and states, "A converted charge is not declared and
prevents all shooting at, charges on, waver tests and movement or
charge response by either body before any resulting combat is
adjudicated NEXT bound." By this I get the impression that any of
these things that happen NEXT Bound is where these conditions apply.

2. On page 30, 5.51 Waver Tests second paragraph down. "Waver tests
are taken immediately, as soon as the condition requiring a waver
test occurs."

3. On page 18, 3.2 The Bound. at the very bottom of the
section. "Note that prompts (4.3) and waver tests (5.5) are diced
for when required, not at any one point in sequence."

Considering these three points in the Warrior Rules, why would
that knight unit not have to take a waver test? To me it seems that
the knight who was in dire straits should definitely waver test for
seeing his friends break immediately and then the converted charge
effects should apply after the waver test. Am I wrong and if so, can
you show me in the rules why?

Jon,

I was hoping you could help me out with this question. Somehow
it got lost in the Western 15mm championship mails. Can you set me
straight?
