Marching bowmen?

[MikeCampbell]

no there isn't - but what if a player decides that he wants his 1 move to be a march move?  there's also nothing to say that a single move has to be a tactical move - and having made 1 march move he then cannot shoot....

so there's a bit of a gap in the rules about what sort of move you have made if you make exactly 1 move - if it starts within 400p it has to be a tactical move (unless only enemy skirmishers, troops facing away within 400, etc) - but if it starts outside 400 it can be eitehr tactical OR march - there's no guidance that it has to be specifically one or other

Agreed.  I think I tried it on an opponent once (that a single move outside of 400 paces was a march move) only to be reminded in not so gentle terms that isn't what the rules said!  I don't see it as being a major issue though - unless I'm missing something???

Edit:
I would presume a single move is a tactical move given there is no disadvantage of it being such.  Also the wording at the top of page 28 states an element makes either 1 tactical move, 1 halt or many marches.  Perhaps in the absence of 'many' it is 1 move?
