Quite so. If you aren't going to get something completely right, the only proper alternative is to get it completely wrong. Well done Tim.nikgaukroger wrote:A thrilling tale of 2 badly designed armies doing battlemadaxeman wrote:Part 1 now posted...

The "some angles" being those that comply with the rules - I suppose we should be charitable and assume you were confused by having LH in your army

And to answer your next question it is because a Battle Line is limited to moves under the Advances section of the movement table (its in the rules on the page before said table) - and I can't think how you can get to where you did doing that

The three 2x2 blocks all wheel through 90 degrees, but still end up in contact with each other ?nikgaukroger wrote:And to answer your next question it is because a Battle Line is limited to moves under the Advances section of the movement table (its in the rules on the page next to said table) - and I can't think how you can get to where you did doing that
Maybe I snuck in a cheeky contraction somewhere along the line too...

As each BG will have had to wheel separately to get where you got them they cannot have moved as a battle line - see page 30 and p75. The ending in contact is not relevant, it appears to be something you have invented as a criteria (in that they must be in contact throughout).madaxeman wrote:The three 2x2 blocks all wheel through 90 degrees, but still end up in contact with each other ?nikgaukroger wrote:And to answer your next question it is because a Battle Line is limited to moves under the Advances section of the movement table (its in the rules on the page next to said table) - and I can't think how you can get to where you did doing that

And any contraction takes you out of the Advances section which means it cannot be done by a Battle Line - see page 41.
