League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

We were testing out the rules just the other day with some new players and a couple of questions came up.

1. Since charging comes after musket fire, can you fire and charge in the same turn?

2. If a unit's retreat path has it end up physically inside another unit, what is the impact on both units for the rest of the turn and for the next turn as well?

3. For the Charge Threat Reaction, does it happen only when an enemy unit comes into range and LOS for the first time or once units are in range they then take the reaction test every turn?

4. When a unit is passed through by retreating (or routing) friendly's, is the disorder for being passed through gone almost immediately or does it last for the rest of that phase/turn? Does it carry over into the next turn?

Thanks!

Greg, just saw this answers in sequence:

1. Charging units can't fire

2. Interpenetration causes disorder. A retreating unit is disordered anyway. If it bursts through or fails to clear the interpenetration of a friendly unit that friendly unit is disordered this phase and if the other player has yet to go that turn, for their phase too.

3. Charge threat reaction only happens if the enemy unit has ATTACK orders - obviously the checking unit would see aggressive battlefield manouevring in the distance and suspect a charge was imminent. It happens only once - you pass or fail.

4. See answer above. Units remain disordered until a FORM order is given

Thank you sir!

I'm sure we'll have more as we play through them.
