OK, I think I see what you guys are saying. It took me a while because that makes the rules read somewhat inconsistently. Why would they allow a BG to evade if the enemy shift or turn into contact and specifically say in FAQ5 that you cannot expand into front edge contact with a BG other than as an ...

Check out the FAQS - number 5 - Feeding More Bases into an Existing melee. So if your evade-capable BG is providing an overlap, the enemy BG could expand into contact with it - giving it no opportunity to evade. Here is the applicable part of FAQ 5.: Can a BG in close combat expand into contact wit...

I'm talking about evade capable BGs not involved in the impact being contacted by conforming bases. And you are correct. Oh, interesting. Please explain how that can happen? The rules specifically state how you can expand a melee to involve new BGs not already in contact, either by moving into cont...

gozerius wrote: Evading is not an option available on page 70-71. I would gladly do it if it were. Yes. Once the evade capable troops are contacted in the impact phase, they are stuck in combat. They would have had to evaded when charged. Of course, you still have the break-off requirement in the J...

And that evade capable troops cannot evade when a BG conforms into them. Not sure what you are referring to. Once a unit is engaged in hand to hand combat, no unit may evade in this system unless mounted break-off from steady foot in the JAP. But if a unit moves into melee contact with an enemy BG ...

Draw a line across the front of the artillery, the interpenetrating unit must pass from the front of the artillery directly to the back or back to front. The line of march would then be perpendicular to the line across the front of the artillery (90 degrees). This is the only allowed angle of interp...

Another thought. The rules state that if a BG is revealed by evaders/routers and can be contacted, then it becomes a target of the charge (page 52). Page 60 and 52, for that matter, say that LH in the open must pass a CMT to receive a charge by enemy non-skirmishers. That strongly implies the LH hav...

My page 67 11 lines down says evading troops can shift one base to get past enemy troops. In the second column of the same page 67 it states if this does not allow front rank bases to evade THEN it must halt 1MU with no shifting or contracting at all. Oh, thanks. I've read that section a dozen time...

Umpiring FoG tournaments is like reffing a football game, the ref must make judgment calls on the spot. Once a Yellow Card is given, that is it; and the game goes on. Here we have the time to sit and read the rules over and over. A good umpire will 'attempt' to be fair. Can we really expect anymore ...

Umpiring is a tough job. We should be thankful that anyone would volunteer for that job. It is human nature to recall things imprecisely when we have to make quick judgment calls. And the rules generally become more FoGgy as the day goes on. We just call it part of the FoG of war. But after the game...
