Too Fat Lardies

I would suggest you ask Big Rich if you can borrow his toffee hammer! :D More seriously, no, definitely not. The rule on interrupts is clear, one team or section may be activated to move or fire. Calling in mortars is neither. Or, if you want to get all rules-lawyer, the interrupt activates one *on-...

Except a rout doesn't incur a BTH roll anyway - breaking does, and *also* causes a rout. The only BTH roll for routing is for a leader leaving the table at the end of the turn if attached to a broken unit.

This 'rout' has nothing to do with breaking, or routing as a consequence of that, it's just a swift retreat to avoid a hopeless fight (this was hashed over when CoC was first released). The wording is a hangover from IABSM, I think, where a similar mechanism applies but the term doesn’t have the sam...

Hi, I haven't played Dux Brit for at least 2 or 3 years, but from memory what makes them brittle is firstly that while they only die on a 6 in combat, they accumulate shock on a 3,4,5 and secondly their forces lack the leadership that allow the saxons and romano-british to rally shock off. They have...

To be precise, you can only interrupt during your opponent's phase, one consequence of which is that you can't interrupt an interrupt. As to interrupting an opponent who is intending to deploy and fire, you can interrupt before or after they deploy, but you can't shoot at them since you don't have a...

Personally, once the enemy unit has been deployed, I wouldn't allow an interrupt. They've effectively blundered into an ambush and that kind of mistake should be painful. Allowing an interrupt then would be too much like playing a get-out-of-jail-free card for me. Having said that, if I had a CoC di...

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.

Hi,

More than just reasonable, exactly right on both counts!

Cheers,
