Thanks for the answer but would that combat be fought that turn or the next ? I know the main unit involved in the sweeping advance would fight it that turn , but would the supports also ?

I think we will keep the rolling for disorder at the start of the sweeping advance , there must be a high chance that disorder would creep in after a successful melee

so is that a yes ? it is a sweeping advance an the melee would be fought next turn but with no charge bonus ??

That’s great , that has really cleared up the misunderstanding , we were about to give up on the rules , as we could not work it out , you have been a real help thank you from the three of us

however ???

one last thing if the attackers musketeers happen to be within in three of the melee , but haven’t been given an order to support , can they still support ? or does the fact they haven’t been ordered bar them from acting as support ?

Yes thanks for that ,my next question is

So unit “A” pike block has charged home and the melee ends in a draw , in the next turn which will be “B”s turn , who is the in effect the attacker , does he still get the support from the musketeers , as he hasn’t ordered them to support ? or does he have to order them now to support ? to get the benefit from then ??

thanks very much for your help , we cant quiet get our head round this , we did have a lot of trouble switching from Hail Ceaser to P & S

Thanks for getting back so quick !!

We did intend to play them as three separate units , but , this then opens a new can of worms ,

unit “A” comprising of one musketeer one pike block and another musketeer facing unit “B” comprising of the same , now in unit “A” turn the pike block decides to charge , unit “B”” pike block , now as we understand it , the player of unit “A” would have to  roll and give an order to the two musketeer units , to move up to support ??  if they were outside six ?

Now as we understand it Unit “B” who is the defender , gets his musketeers for free ? as supports ? is that correct

Now the next question is can ,Unit “A” musketeers , who are supporting, the pike block , can they fire at unit “B”s musketeers ?

Ok here are the stats etc

clash 3,          sustained 1,      short range 0,           long range 0,      Morale save 0,   stamina 4,    special rules Frenzied charge ,
<p class=”western”>War Dogs Disorder Infantry on (5-6) Cavalry (4-6) If Victorious in the initial charge, cannot be used to support, but can be supported by any other units , if destroyed the supporting unit , does not roll for a break test, if the mastiffs Break or become Shattered due to their expendable nature , nor do they count towards the breaking of a division.</p>
As i said i got these off the old forum before it was hacked into and destroyed . I hope this helps

Well before Covid struck, our little group regularly played lots of Hail Caeser,  between us we have lots of Ancient armies and Dark Aged armies , we got together every week , and at least three out of Four weeks was a Hail caeser game.
