Thanks Nat and Big Al for the clarifications on what “breakthrough move” was intended to be. I knew the supplements were written for V1 so I checked both. I like the flavor it adds, so will use the “Gallop at Anything” rule, just with Sweeping Advance. I agree that the wording is weird and hope that at some point they either FAQ/errata them, or rewrite them. So very confusing for new players, so I guess that is why there is a community for support. 🙂 Appreciate the quick response!

Hello,

For British Cavalry (in Albion Triumphant Vol2), I see references to a breakthrough move that is required ” even if it takes them off the table” as part of the “Gallop at Anything” rule. I searched both the V1 and V2 rulebooks pdfs and both Albion 1&2 but couldn’t find anything pertaining to what a “breakthrough move” is. Could someone please explain this and where I can find an explanation and/or rule? Rule snippet from the book is below.

 

Pg 36 Albion Triumphant Vol2: “+ 1 to Charge order. Cavalry with this rule automatically
gain the Ferocious Charge rule (Black Powder, page 90) but must
make a breakthrough move if allowed, even if this takes
them off the table. British cavalry suffer a +2 to their
command roll when they leave the table under such
circumstances.”

Thanks!
