Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[joncleaves]

Here are the latest changes to the known and pursuit rules.

Note that the all caps are changes from the version I sent out a few days ago.

***
1. Add the following bullet to 1.261 under Known:

THE ENEMY BODY IS VISIBLE TO A FRIENDLY BODY WITHIN 240 PACES.

2. Delete from 6.13 second paragraph the word "known."

3. 5.141 bullet labeled (SURPRISE), change "unseen" to "unknown."

4. Replace the section of 11.2 titled Who May (or Must) Pursue with:

Pursuit is a tactical move (6.33) made when all opponents break-off or rout.
Pursuit is a variable move (6.11).

Impetuous troops must continue to make pursuit moves until required to cease
(see below).

Non-impetuous troops must make one pursuit move (two if irregular). Further
pursuit is optional.
There are two exceptions to this rule:
-Foot troops standing to receive a mounted charge may not pursue.
-Regular close formation foot or any regular foot troops who originally stood
to receive a foot charge (and have not since followed up) ARE NOT REQUIRED TO
but have the option to pursue.

Pursuit ceases if the pursuing body is outdistanced, or if all pursuit
targets are destroyed, or if the pursuit is converted into a charge (6.167).
***

The effect of the known rules changes is to make them matter for marches and
surprise, but not for tactical moves, while at the same time NOT allowing one
to march right up behind screening troops and launching an immediate charge.

Keep those cards and letters coming!
