Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.  We too thought it was an omission at first, but it seems an odd one, especially as that section looks like a copy and paste take from BP.

The debate about how much benefit cover should get was long and unresolved, but I think we err on the side of not giving two benefits for this period, although not with any great reasoning behind it!

Al, Thanks again.
What you’ve said is exactly what we all thought and felt was right. But it was that one line saying the first move can be a charge that caused the issue and problem. Why does it say that I wonder?

Al thanks for the quick answer.
We had got slings wrong and had missed the bit on page 96.

Your answer to the charge bit is exactly what we thought. But on page 39 under buildings it says that a unit can leave a building under orders and the first move is always to reform. But that the first move can be a charge, so the argument was that you can charge in the first move without penalty, therefore there doesn’t need to be time to get into battle line that can be done under initiative. Looking at it again the rule implies it can only be done under orders and not initiative, but its not clear.

Just to clarify the cavalry did turn to flank, but what can you do when you roll double 1 on a break test!!
