Too Fat Lardies

Since both units are under the same fire, I would apply Pinned or Suppressed to both of them.

Hi Paul, Welcome to the wonderful world of Lard! ;^D Yes, you are playing it wrong, but this one is a common mistake among new players. The right answer is 'none of the above' - what you actually do is divide the hits *before* you roll for effect, then each unit suffers the rolled effect of the hits...

They don't fire volleys like Line troops, so they don't go uncontrolled.

More than just reasonable, exactly right on both counts!

Cheers,

I would run it the same way as Chris, giving the defender all the normal options, with the exception that they get no wounded back (until the next game). You ask why an attacker would choose to use this under those terms? Well, firstly, the chance to take two Maps in one Turn is huge. Secondly, if t...

He is attached to the centre group, not the formation as a whole, and shock is assessed against the individual groups, so no, you don't count him (see the top of page. 34).

Point 4 at the end of the Procedure section states 'After the resolution of the Opportunity Charge, the “interruption” ceases and Phasing Player carries on with his remaining Charges .' The last part I have put in bold means that we are into the secon...

No-one 'gives' them their activation, they are doing their own thing because no-one has given them any orders. Apart from not being able to start or join close combat, they can do anything they could normally do. This includes carrying on with anything they have been ordered to in a previous round, ...

Yes, it looks like you can do that, but I don't see why you would. Firstly, allocating all your forces to one zone at first just gives you a larger force than you can manage with just 5CD. Secondly, you only get two uses of Airpower, so while makes some sense to use them at the start when you have 5...

The very last sentence of section 4.3.1, which states units may always fire on deploying. As Rich has previously confirmed, this means that when deploying on a 3 all the unit will fire without the JL spending any CI, so he can spend his CI on, for instance, national characteristics. He referred to i...
