Ah yes Al, I can see it now, I was looking for a Hit mod or something, but its on the Formation mod list: attack column 1 dice

Thanks

You need to read the rules on hand to hand combat. It is all fully explained there.

For cavalry charging infantry, there may also be the “Must Form Square” Rule to apply, which would mean that the combat doesn’t happen.

anyway, to answer your question, the unit is only destroyed if the break test result states it. As the test was “pass…[Read more]

Your unit gets to maximise its firepower. When in column, firepower is reduced considerably – either down to one third or nothing at all.

Yes, it does refer to something in BP1. However, you could use the alternative rules in BP2 for Commander traits. They give an added flavour to the game, though they are not quite the same as those in version 1.

Currently no… just acting as a reseller for Perry Minitures

ps – nothing to do with Warlord so have no idea if they have any ideas about changing this going forward

Thank you Koin-Koin and Invisible Officer 🙂
