Hi, I have just have my second enjoyable game of BLB which went quite smoothly, grateful to all of you who have raised issues on this forum, I have a few extra issues which I would be very grateful if some clarification could be given on.
Strategic Movement – this is mentioned in the play sequence but I can’t find any other reference to it in the rules.
Attacking troops behind obstacles (hedge lines – field works and build up areas etc) Are there any melee factors that are appropriate. Do the attackers stop at a defended hedge line etc and fight normally against the defenders or must they carry out the random deduction die roll to get across the obstacle in order to fight?
Arch of fire for foot - is there one or is firing for foot only done straight ahead.
Cav Combat –In situations when a cav melee is won by a unit that had friendly rear support and the winner does not which to pursue does each of the units i.e. front unit and rear support test to cease pursuit on an individual basis. If they do is it possible that say the front unit passes the test not to pursue, but the support unit fails, and that unit pursues though the unit that passed and disorders both units.
Cav Combat - In situations when a routing cav unit passes through a friendly cav unit disordering them and that unit is then hit by the pursuers, do the pursuers hit on 6’s only the same as the disordered target? Do the pursuers test to charge and the charged test.
Cav Combat – Is it correct that a cav unit that won a round of melee against over cav say by inflicting 3 hits but suffered a hit in return must take a morale test (as per the reasons to test morale) or is the test waived.
Retreat\Retire – is there any difference, cav failing a morale test retire, foot retreat.
C in C – When attached to an individual unit, does the morale modifier still count for other units.
Brigade Commanders – When attached to an individual unit does he still have a command range to influence other units.
Many thks
Nigel
