Hello Jon,

I have a question about rallying after charging. When I was originally
taught to play, I was told that if you charge and fail to contact the enemy,
you
have the option to Rally at the spot the unit reached when it ended the
charge, or attempt to Rally back at the original location the unit occupied at
the
point of charge declaration. I was told this is a variable move so you have
to roll to se if you go long or short. It might turn out that you do not make
it aal the way back to the original location before charging.

I can't find this in the rules anywhere. Have I been misled? The rules seem
to indicate that the charging unit must Rally at the spot it reached at the
end of it's charge. Is that the case?


Thanks Jon

Allan



You are mixing recall (withdrawing to a safer spot) and rally (reorganizing
the unit locally).

A body who ceases pursuit (unless by a converted charge) may recall unless
impetuous. Recall is a variable move. 6.36.

Rally is not a move. 5.41 You do have to rally after you make a recall
move, though.
