Undrilled 8+ DISORDERED or DISRUPTED: -1 Shock troops wish to avoid charging.
"Double Disordered" or FRAGMENTED: -2 LF/LH that wish to not evade non-LF/LH.
Failing a Control Test: The unit must perform the default response. Pursuers want to stop pursuing.
 IMPACT PHASE: Troops That Might Charge Without Orders - pg. 58
Shock Troops include Beast, Elephant, Heavy Chariot, Impact Foot, Mounted Knight, Dragon, Giant, and Monster.
1) Mounted Shock Troops with enemy in charge reach across open ground must pass a CPT to avoid charging.
2) Foot Shock Troops with enemy foot within charge reach must pass a CPT to avoid charging, unless the
charge move would disorder the chargers, contact mounted/fortification/riverbank, be intercepted by mounted,
or the chargers are defending a riverbank/wall, or are MF that would leave non-open terrain.
Charge Limitations - pg.60
1) LF cannot charge or intercept unbroken non-skirmishers in clear terrain (except in the flank or rear) - but
LF may charge non-skirmishers in uneven, rough, or difficult terrain - but only intercept LF or LH.
2) LF/LH must pass a CPT to charge (unless charging a flank or rear, or charging LF, LH, or LCh).
3) LH can only intercept LCh, LF, and LH.
4) DISRUPTED non-shock units must pass a CPT to charge.
5) FRAGMENTED units cannot charge.
Charge Responses - pp. 61-68
1) A FRAGMENTED unit that is charged by any (except LF) must take a Cohesion test.
If the unit breaks from this Cohesion test, any friends within 3 MU's must take an immediate Cohesion test.
2) A unit that is charged has three possible responses: Receive, Evade, Interception Charge.
3) Receiving the Charge
The unit remains in place (and does not count as "charging").
LF and LH must pass a CPT to receive a charge from non-skirmishers in clear terrain.
A unit charged in the flank becomes DISORDERED (or SEVERELY DISORDERED if Disordered already).
4) Evade the Charge
LF and LH always have the option to evade.
Cv, Cm, and LCh in 1 rank have the option to evade, unless in close combat.
4A) The chargering unit(s) indicate their charge path(s).
4B) The evaders choose to evade either to their own rear, or away from the charge.
4C) The evaders roll a D6 for variable move distance (VMD).
4D) The evaders turn 180 degrees if evading to their rear and move the distance rolled.
4E) The evaders turn 90, 180, or remain in their current facing if evading away from the charge, whichever
the owning player decides, and then wheels until it is facing a direction that is parallel to the charge
path direction, after which it completes the rest of its evade move distance rolled.
4F) If the evaders encounter any obstructions, resolve in this order:
Interpenetrate friendly units if permitted to do so.
Shift sideways up to one base width to pass units, terrain, or avoid the table edge.
If the unit cannot clear after shifting, it may drop back stands that cannot pass the obstacle.
Burst through friends if the front rank stands could not evade their full move distance.
Halt 1 MU from enemy blocking its path without any shifting or contraction.
After moving to the edge of blocking terrain, turn 90 degrees and move around blocking terrain.
Evade off table.
Otherwise, move as far as permitted within confines of the situation.
4G) The charging unit(s) move their charge move. If all targets evades, roll a VMD and move that distance.
Evaders caught by chargers are count as having been charged in the flank or rear.
5. Interception Charges - Foot have a 2 MU ZOI to their front, Mounted have a 4 MU ZOI to their front.
The ZOI does not extend into any terrain that could disorder the unit, and does not affect Flyers (unless in the ZOI of a Flyer).
If an enemy unit attempts to charge through the ZOI of a unit that is not a target of a charge, that unit may
declare an Interception Charge. (DISRUPTED units must pass a Control Point test.)
The Interception Charge is 2 MU if foot, 4 MU if mounted, forward and is performed before the charge move.
6. Leaders - Unattached Leaders evade any charging or moving enemy, up to their MU.
Interpenetration - pg.47
1) No interpenetrations are permitted when charging.
2) LF can pass through any troops in any direction. LF may move up to 2 MUs more to clear (but cannot shoot).
3) Cv, LH can pass through LF in any direction.
4) LF can pass through any troops in any direction.
5) Some army lists permit special interpenetration between certain troops from front to back or back to front, such as
Longbow & Billmen, Bow or Crossbow & Spearmen, Legionary Bow & Legionaries
 SPELL CASTING
1) Each Spellcaster has a set of Spell Cards. The set can vary in size and variety, but all sets will include one
"dummy" spell to deceive opposing players.
2) SPELL CASTING PHASE: All players with Spellcasters must choose and place a Spell Card face down.
When all players have committed their spells, all Spell Cards are revealed.
A) "Dummy" spells are discarded with no effect.
B) "Dispel Magic" spells that targeted a Spellcaster that used a "dummy" spell go back to their set.
(ie: The "Dispel Magic" spell is not cast and can be used again at a later turn.)
C) "Dispel Magic" spells that targeted a Spellcaster will cancel that spell. Both are discarded from play.
D) Other spells resolve with the GM assisting with the effects.
Most spells have a Line-of-Sight (LOS) requirement for targetting, meaning the Spellcaster must
be able to "see" the target in order to cast the spell successfully. If the GM determines that the
Spellcaster does not have a valid LOS, the spell cannot be cast and is returned to the set.
Spells are cast simultaneously, but may resolve now, or during the Shooting Phase - so targets that
were visible at the start if the turn will satisfy LOS requirements for spell that resolve now, but LOS
requirements during the Shooting Phase will have to be met at that time.
Resolving Effects: Most spells are self-explanatory in their effects, but some may need clarification:
Devine Strike, Fear: The spell's effects last until the end of the turn.
Fog, Foul Gas: The spell's effects last a FULL turn. The area affected will be represented by 60mm
x 60mm tiles. Units within and LOS traced through such tiles will be affected by the spell's effects.
These spells could affect LOS during the Shooting Phase.
Flood: The spell's effect lasts a FULL turn.
Fireball: This spell takes effect during the Shooting Phase, so it is possible that LOS to a target
may be blocked by the time the Shooting Phase starts. This direct-damage spell is especially lethal
in that it does not allow any positive modifiers on a Death Roll, so any other hits scored against the
same target during the Shooting Phase from other sources (artillery, bow-fire) take advantage of the
Fireball's effect.
Lightning Bolt: This spell's effect is resolved during the Casting Phase (not the Shooting Phase)
so LOS is determined at the start of the turn. This direct-damage spell is especially lethal in that it
does not allow any positive modifiers on a Death Roll.
Illusion: The illusionary unit occupies a 60mm x 60mm area and is treated as a real unit allied to
the Spellcaster's side until is it dispelled or it dissappears from contact or fails an MC from shooting.
The "unit" can move and count as a real unit for Morale purposes - but it it charges an enemy, it will
generate any Morale Check by this action, but will dissappear after the contact (after resolving any
Morale Check).

THE POWER OF MAGIC: Things to Remember

Magic Items and Spells that cause a hit on a unit will generate a Death Roll without any positive modifiers.
This effect applies in any combination of hits scored against the unit during Impact, Shooting, and Melee.

TROOPS That Might Charge Without Orders - pg. 58
Shock Troops include Beast, Elephant, Heavy Chariot, Impact Foot, Mounted Knight, Dragon, Giant, and Monster.
1) Mounted Shock Troops with enemy in charge reach across open ground must pass a CPT to avoid charging.
2) Foot Shock Troops with enemy foot within charge reach must pass a CPT to avoid charging, unless the
charge move would disorder the chargers, contact mounted/fortification/riverbank, be intercepted by mounted,
or the chargers are defending a riverbank/wall, or are MF that would leave non-open terrain.
Charge Limitations - pg.60
1) LF cannot charge or intercept unbroken non-skirmishers in clear terrain (even in the flank or rear) - but
LF may charge non-skirmishers in uneven, rough, or difficult terrain - but only intercept LF or LH.
2) LH must pass a CPT to charge (unless charging a flank or rear, or charging LF, LH, or LCh).
3) LH can only intercept LCh, LF, and LH.
4) LF and LH must pass a CPT test to stand to receive a charge by enemy (unless LF or LH) if any of the target
stands are in clear terrain (unless behind fortifications or defending a riverbank).
5) Charging LF/LH must halt their charge 1 MU away from enemy to their front that they could not normally
charge without a CPT test (unless they already passed a CPT versus that enemy) if any of their targets evade.
6) DISRUPTED non-shock units must pass a CPT to charge.
7) FRAGMENTED units cannot charge.
Charge Responses - pp. 61-68
1) A FRAGMENTED unit that is charged by any (except LF) must take a Cohesion test.
If the unit breaks from this Cohesion test, any friends within 3 MU's must take an immediate Cohesion test.
2) A unit that is charged has three possible responses: Receive, Evade, Interception Charge.
3) Receiving the Charge
The unit remains in place (and does not count as "charging").
LF and LH must pass a CPT to receive a charge from non-skirmishers in clear terrain.
A unit charged in the flank becomes DISORDERED (or SEVERELY DISORDERED if Disordered already).
4) Evade the Charge
LF and LH always have the option to evade.
Cv, Cm, and LCh in 1 rank have the option to evade, unless in close combat.
4A) The chargering unit(s) indicate their charge path(s).
4B) The evaders choose to evade either to their own rear, or away from the charge.
4C) The evaders roll a D6 for variable move distance (VMD).
4D) The evaders turn 180 degrees if evading to their rear and move the distance rolled.
4E) The evaders turn 90, 180, or remain in their current facing if evading away from the charge, whichever
the owning player decides, and then wheels until it is facing a direction that is parallel to the charge
path direction, after which it completes the rest of its evade move distance rolled.
4F) If the evaders encounter any obstructions, resolve in this order:
Interpenetrate friendly units if permitted to do so.
Shift sideways up to one base width to pass units, terrain, or avoid the table edge.
If the unit cannot clear after shifting, it may drop back stands that cannot pass the obstacle.
Burst through friends if the front rank stands could not evade their full move distance.
Halt 1 MU from enemy blocking its path without any shifting or contraction.
After moving to the edge of blocking terrain, turn 90 degrees and move around blocking terrain.
Evade off table.
Otherwise, move as far as permitted within confines of the situation.
4G) The charging unit(s) move their charge move. If all targets evades, roll a VMD and move that distance.
Evaders caught by chargers are count as having been charged in the flank or rear.
5. Interception Charges - Foot have a 2 MU ZOI to their front, Mounted have a 4 MU ZOI to their front.
The ZOI does not extend into any terrain that could disorder the unit, and does not affect Flyers (unless in the ZOI of a Flyer).
If an enemy unit attempts to charge through the ZOI of a unit that is not a target of a charge, that unit may
declare an Interception Charge. (DISRUPTED units must pass a Control Point test.)
 The Interception Charge is 2 MU if foot, 4 MU if750932014.xlsx
mounted, forward and is performed before the charge move.
6. Leaders - Unattached Leaders evade any charging or moving enemy, up to their MU.
 750932014.xlsx
Battlelines (Moving several BGs together)
1) Broken, Fragmented, and Severely Disordered (DD) BGs cannot be part of a battleline.
2) LF and mounted can be part of the same battleline. Other non-LF foot and mounted combos cannot.
3) All BGs must be facing the same direction, but do not have to be adjacent or in contact (but be within 1 MU of other BG).
4) A commander in Line-of-Command must be attached to one of BGs.
5) All BGs in the battleline must be within command radius of the attached commander.
Interpenetration - pg.47
1) No interpenetrations are permitted when charging.
2) Commanders can pass through or be passed through by any troops in any direction.
3) Cv, LH can pass through LF in any direction.
4) LF can pass through any troops in any direction.
5) Some army lists permit special interpenetration between certain troops from front to back or back to front, such as
Longbow & Billmen, Bow or Crossbow & Spearmen, Legionary Bow & Legionaries
6) If LF do not have enough movement to pass through another BG, LF may move up to 2 MUs more to clear (but cannot shoot).
7) Other BGs without sufficient movement to pass through are moved all the way through on a stand-by-stand basis,
with each stand that reaches the unit being interpenetrated placed on the far side. Any stands that did not reach
are placed on the near side of the unit being interpenetrated and a DISORDER marker placed on the BG.
Involuntary Interpenetrations / Burst Throughs - pg.48
A BG may be forced to burst through other friendly BGs they normally cannot interpenetrate, such as routing units
evaders, or Shock Troops that are forced to charge by failing a CPT.
1) Shock Troops are moved their full move, placing any friendly BG that is burst through behind the Shock Troops.
2) Any BG burst through by the Shock Troops are reduced one Cohesion Level.
3) Other friendly BGs behind are shfted to make room, unless prevented by impassable terrain.
Evaders or routing units that are forced to burst through:
1) Move the evaders / routers their full move. If the move does not clear all friends, place the evaders / routers
beyond any BG being burst through if there is room to do so. If this cannot be done, the evaders / routers are
removed from the table as being dispersed beyond rallying. No cohesion test is taken by friends that see this.
2) Any BG burst through by the evaders / routers are reduced one Cohesion Level.
Broken Troops and Pursuit - pg.100
When a BG breaks after shooting or close combat or for another reason, other BGs may have to take a Cohesion
Test. For a broken BG caused by combat, this Cohesion Test is taken after all combats and post-combat cohesion
tests, death rolls, and commander casualty rolls have been resolved, but prior to moving the broken BG.
1) A newly broken BG makes an initial rout, which is a variable length move:
a) If the BG became Broken from being charged when Fragmented, its evade move is considered its initial rout.
b) A BG that became broken during Impact Phase close combat does its initial rout at the end of the Phase.
b) A BG that became broken during the Shooting Phase does its initial rout at the end of the Phase.
c) A BG that became broken during the Melee Phase does its initial rout at the end of the Phase.
During the initial rout, the BG moves directly away from the cause (ie: enemy charging, shooters, close combat).
Otherwise the routers move towards it's side's rear table edge.
The rout move must be completed, avoiding enemy and impassable terrain.
If the rout move cannot be completed due to unbroken enemy, the broken BG is eliminated.
2) An unbroken BG that has broken all opponents must pursueunless:
a) If foot that have broken mounted opponents, in which case:
i) Non-Shock foot may choose to pursue, but must pass a CPT to do so.
ii) Shock foot must pursue, unless they pass a CPT to avoid this.
b) It was fighting in two directions.
3) The initial pursuit is a variable length move.
4) Pursuers that maintain contact at the end of an initial pursuit inflict losses and possible leader loss, in the
same manner as described in the Joint Action Phase. Pursuers must pass a CPT to stop pursuit.
Broken Troops are not shot at during the Shooting Phase, nor is close combat allowed during the Melee Phase.
