Our group is learning BLB and have a few questions from our most recent game that we hope someone can answer.
1. One of our charges involved a unit of horse that contacted a stand of light artillery. The artillery successfully stood and fired but inflicted no casualties so the cavalry moved to contact. Do the gunners actually stay to fight, rout towards the table edge, or should we have removed them? If they are removed from play, does the charging cavalry unit pursue? I think the pursuit section says that pursuit occurs when a unit routs, but if the target of the charge is removed from play..?
2. When a unit Retires, does it do so facing the enemy or away?
3. When a unit is on Defend orders I believe we read that the brigade office must attach, or the overall commander visit to change the order. Does visit mean attach, or simply be within command span of the unit on defend?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
