    As I read it, if you are already in combat, then you only have two options; to fight (you are locked in combat) or flee. If you fight you have two actions so you would fight two rounds of combat and then move on to another unit.
    On page 8 it says… a unit “must perform two actions before you can move on to another unit.”

    Hi Chinchillax… just wondered if you’d got any further with this one? I’m waiting for my bag of Victrix Germans to arrive and had assumed that I would be equipping them with swords. In the background notes in the army list, it says that iron was difficult to come by in Germania, but you would have thought that the Germans would have had access to plenty of swords via other sources (several thousand after Varus’ attempt to march through the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D.!).
    I’d be interested to know what your thinking is before I start building my warriors in the next few days.
    Cheers… Phil

    Seems to be a sad and somewhat counter-productive situation really. I’m still painting troops for SPQR, so haven’t played the game yet and, consequently can’t comment on how they play, but there are areas of the rules that have left me scratching my head a little in the reading, but I don’t know if that is a problem with the rule writing or just me being dense! If criticism is constructive then surely, in the longer term, we all benefit because if glitches are identified and subsequently ironed out, then the game will be better for all of us who play. Is there any possibility of you and the Warlord tech people finding some sort of compromise, so that you can continue to use your experience of game play for the benefit of the rest of us?

    Bit late to the party on this one… I’m excitedly waiting for my bag of Victrix Germans to arrive. They have a mix of head types, body types and loads of nasty weapons and I can’t wait to start building as varied a bunch of warriors as possible, so I’m intending to bung all sorts together and just not bother with the armour upgrades.
    That’s what I’ve done with the Celts that I was painting up before Victrix un-helpfully decided to release the Germans!

    Currently 3 figures away from completing my 3rd squad of Bolt Action Soviet infantry. I’ve got officers, machine guns, a T34 etc. hidden away to stop me getting distracted from the bread and butter stuff. Also have an unopened delivery of Samurai (unopened for the same reason!!) and then Cruel Seas appears and will definitely be getting some of that. Help!
