Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

1. When a Sub-general receives a new command from the C in C and has bodies
in “contact” (in HTH or can be charged, etc.) with the enemy, is he forced
to expend his minutes changing the orders of his units to the new command
first then any left over time can be used for prompting charges etc., or is
there any flexibility with how he uses his minutes to suit the situation?
Or (which is a possibility here) am I totally off mark with how commands are
communicated to bodies?

2. If a body of infantry 2 elements wide and two elements deep armed with
JLS, bow and shield is charged, and chooses (or is forced) to receive the
charge at a halt, are all figures in the body allowed to fire their bow at
the charging unit and does the –2 modifier apply for “being in contact” in
this situation?

He'll use all minutes necessary to get the order to his command, even if more
than 15. If he has any left after that, he may use the remainder to prompt
during the bound.

All bow may shoot support in that situation and the contact modifier would
apply.

Thank you for your quick response.

Would this process be the same if there were a “predetermined signal”
changing that command’s order?

That is *only* for WAIT orders. The command in question has its order changed
to attack the bound AFTER its general sees/hears the signal without need for him
to 'resend' to his troops.
No other order combination uses a 'signal'.

Once again, thanks.

In a previous e-mail I was asking about the HI with JLS, B, Sh – on whether
or not all figures in a two rank formation get to shoot if they receive a
charge at a halt. In that circumstance, would they count as Shieldless in
the ensuing H to H combat?

One day I will stop asking remedial questions, but until then, please bear
with me.
