7.0.1 Ways to Move

Interpenetration

Interpenetration is when one unit moves through another. Here’s how we do it:

·        A unit must have enough movement to move completely through the stationary unit. If it does not it will stop 1” short of contacting the stationary unit.

Pursue

Cavalry units may be required to pursue routed 4”, Unformed.

Fall Back

Cavalry units may be required to fall back 6”, Unformed. 

Rout

Infantry units may be required to rout 6”, Unformed. Cavalry units may be required to rout 12” Unformed.

On the following turn they are removed.

Rally

After forfeiting one turn of activation, the Unformed unit can reform when next active. Here’s how we do it:

·        Turn 1 – Go Unformed.

·        Turn 2 – Remain Unformed.

·        Turn 3 – From into line and move if desired.

9.2 Forming Square

Infantry can form square in one of two ways:

1 – When active – this will modify its active movement.

2 – When inactive and charged by cavalry:

·        Determine the full movement allowed for the charging cavalry unit.

·        If the distance traveled by the cavalry is half or less than the full allowable move, the infantry will count as being Unformed.
