Hi,
We’ve been playing Black Powder for some time and got a reasonable hand on the rules and have now ventured into Pike and Shotte for the ECW. Should be easy as the rules are very close…except they’re not!
In BP a target is not clear for shooting if its in a building or in cover. But Pike and Shotte its only if in buildings and the cover element is missing. Is this:
1. A copy and paste mistake!?
2. Assuming its deliberate does anyone have an explanation as we’re struggling to think of one!
In the To Kill a King supplement the Home Home special rule states that if a trained band unit is subject to a blunder roll or fails a break test when shaken they retire from the table, and that all other trained band units in the same battalia immediately take the same test.
The first time we used Trained bands inevitably the roll was a blunder…
As the command that was blundered was only given to one of the two trained band units in the battalia we agreed that the other was unaffected as it hadn’t been given the order. We assumed that the reference to taking a test only applied if one trained band had failed a break test when shaken and didn’t relate to a blundered command roll as they haven’t taken a test..
Were we right?
Thanks, Matt.
