Question from Britcon number 2

[Piffle]

Right then this is the next one.

Again this is from Esthers game, the same one as before when she sent the whole game losing combats to expendables even with overlaps etc.

The Cv(s) General has lost the combat to the exp and so must flee. Before it flees it must recoil. If it only had to recoil it could do so with no problem. However a fleeing element that cannot complete the initial recoil is destroyed.

Any thoughts on does it recoil as far as it can and then flee or is it destroyed because it can't do a complete recoil?

thanks,

Martin

I'm afraid that rules are clear. You are destroyed when you can't COMPLETE the recoil move. So yes, It is destroyed. Sorry.

That's a new one on me - where is it in the rules??

I don't know how many times I've read that and completely missed it!!

Thanks

Always a good thing to remember, dont forget to have at least a mounted base depth of space between troops that are likely to flee/repulse and those behind them.
