Fall-backs and blocked fall-back


Section 33, page 53.
If a single unit falls back as the result of a morale test, does it / can it take any casualties with it? If so, it might be important to note to which unit casualties belong


Section 33, page 55
Presumably the outcome for "Surrounded by opponents on all four sides" is equally applicable to a mix of sides being blocked by opponents and impassable scenery?

Movement

Page 57: Can artillery "enter wooded, building, rough hill and obstructed scenery zones" (explicitly excluded for elephants and chariots only)?

There are slightly different Movement tables on both pages 56 and 59 - presumably one or the other should be deleted?

Defensive measures

Section 45, page 83

Are stakes considered to be uni-directional in their affect?

There is a contradiction between "Once placed they cannot be removed" and "Any zone with these defences has them removed if any opponent units enter the zone"

In the latter case, if opponents assault into the zone but are immediately pushed back (i.e. they lose the fight), do the defences remain?

A whole bunch of thing here.
Thanks for finding them Simon.
It is good to air my thinking on the forum.
A lot of the work here is on clarification I think.

Good

Artillery
Artillery is intended to be outside of all unit considerations.
If a  zone loses a fight whether or not it falls back the artillery is lost.
I will remove the woods/buildings saves for simplicity (?).

Stakes
I have not looked at this at all, so I will get a look at that.

Fall backs
Falling back units do not have to take casualties with them because a morale test removes all casualties before any fall backs are imposed.

Elephants
The -1 is applied to all cavalry.
Some armies trained their horses to ignore elephants. It is too much detail (?) to  list armies that do and do not react.

Generals
Only 5th hit and never any more.
Not sure whether the general 5th hit shoud be allowed for pursuit?

Obstructing scenery
I think obstructing is the word to go for. Maybe there is a better word?

Thanks Martin. Simplicity is good

I like "Obstructing" for scenery too.
