Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Don Coon]

4.51 Rush. Seems pretty clear, but should it say something about
advancing toward known enemy? What if ther is no known enemy? We
actually had this happen Saturday. Patricks hostage screen
(expendable) had force marched up to a woods. In bound one they had
no known enemy anywhere. Which way should he go? Straight ahead?
When he got some known enemy he veered towards them, but as enemy
began to come into LOS closer enemy became known. Does he change to
head towards these? Does he get to pick which body he is RUSHING
towards and then have to stick to it?

4.52 Makes no mention of known. As a corralery to 4.51 does this
really mean move towards an unknown enemy body? We did not play it
this way. It says towards some enemy body. Does it have to be the
closest? What if a new body become known? Part of this issue is
that
Patrick wants to use his hostages as woods sweepers. He fans them
out
in force march in front of woods, and then moves straight into the
woods attempting to obey RUSH orders. It is a useful tactic for him,
but we both feel it is not in the spirit of the rules. Does anyone
else feel 4.51/4.52 are unclear as pertaining to RUSH?

9.42 deduction of 2 for fighting to cross a defended obstacle. We
had
a minor water feature in our game. When does a body count as
fighting
to cross an obstacle? If any part of it is in the obstacle? Is it
clear when the head is clear or the tail? What if part of the
defending body is in the obstacle (i.e when is the obstacle defended,
and when is the fight IN the obstacle?). We played that if any part
of a body was in the obstacle they were fighting to cross it, and if
parts of both bodies were in the obstacle, they were not.
