Light foot flank attack?
Light foot flank attack?
Haven't played much lately, wanted to double-check something...is a light foot unit that is not already engaged supposed to drop a level if it is hit in the flank? similarly, if a light foot unit is attacked from a diagonal square, and is then attacked again in the same turn from one of the adjacent squares, is it supposed to be a "flank attack"?

I'm pretty sure it is no to both scenarios.76mm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:37 pm Haven't played much lately, wanted to double-check something...is a light foot unit that is not already engaged supposed to drop a level if it is hit in the flank? similarly, if a light foot unit is attacked from a diagonal square, and is then attacked again in the same turn from one of the adjacent squares, is it supposed to be a "flank attack"?

If it already evaded that turn, then engaged or not if hit in the flank it will auto drop

Re: Light foot flank attack?
Just to give a full guide to flanking.
-Engaged light or heavy units engaged by other heavy units (including mediums) will autodrop, unless
--The flankers are infantry and the flanked are cavalry.
--The flankers are cavalry and the flanked are elephants.
-Heavy units flanked by light units do not autodrop even when engaged.
-Units that are pursued and then charged in the flank or rear by a second unit autodrop as if they were engaged. The above exceptions apply however.
This is as much as I know about flanking.
