Two questions about VwQ rules
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 10:16 pm
My first question is about Officers issuing orders.
A brigadier has a command span of 6 inches, and when his card is drawn a regiment in his brigade is 16 inches away from him. Can he move 12 inches and issue an order to them, or must they be within his command span before he commences any movement?
My second question is about firing and charging.
A regiment of foot receives an order to charge a shaken enemy of foot 3 inches directly in front of them. Can they fire before making their charge move? Back in 2008 Clarence indicated that they could, but in a 2013 post he stated that charge order could not include any firing. Help!
Any views from members of the Forum (especially from the author!) would be greatly appreciated.
