Outflank

[Steeljackal]

Reading “SCENARIOS” section in base rulebook, seems that when it is allowed to keep units in reserve then is allowed to outflank.

In “BATTLE SCENARIOS” and “ATTACKER–DEFENDER SCENARIOS” there is some scenarios where it is indicated that outflanking is not allowd.

Therefore in any scenario where reserves are allowed then outflanking is always allowed unless explicitly denied?

Off memory ..yes

However outflank has 3 negatives

You pick which side they are on when you put them in reserve
They suffer -1 leadership to turn up
They spend at least 1 extra turn in reserves before you can roll to see if they appear (each turn in reserves means they can arrive another 6?” Up the board)

Thanks 👍

Yes, all pro and negatives are clear

“each turn in reserves means they can arrive another 6?” Up the board” – 24″ if arriving on turn 3, additional 12″ per turn after that

@Stuart… as said I was going off memory hence the question mark… didnt think it was right but couldnt remember what it actually was :p

You need to check specific scenario rules..

Holding troops in ‘reserve’ can also be used to simply keep them off table, bringing them on from turn 2 on your own table edge.
It may, for example, help you avoid a preparatory bombardment?
