Inert Generals

[LAP1964]

The extra or reduced cost of each general, including that of Brilliant or Inert is halved and rounded down. (Bold is mine)

Hi i have been checking some lists for a DBMM 200 comp,and people using Bril Reg Kn(F) C-in-Cs have been pointing them at 33 AP ie,
Reg Kn (F) =11
Gens cost =10
Bril 25 halved =12.5 rounded down =12

Ok. Thank you Les

Ok. Thank you very much.

No worries.

However, on looking again at the rulebook, another evil thought comes to mind...

What happens if you do a 0 PIP move with a group consisting entirely of regulars and accompanied by their regular general?

The rules say:

No PIP is expended by a first march move this bound if it does not contact enemy and is...{to pick an example} entirely along a road without reversing direction...1 less PIP is expended for: One move or halt per bound by an element or group that...includes a C-in-C. who is not Inert...

I don't think the rules say anywhere that the lowest cost of a move is 0 PIPs. The idea that it's possible to do a move at a cost of -1 PIPs amuses the heck out of me!

Only a few stratagems are available (p.15 'Stratagems') and there is a PIP-deduction (p. 26 'inert generals'). Of course an inert C-in-C don't takes the first bound (p.26 'sequence of play')

...and his impetuous troops never move spontanously! 

WRONG!

DBMM V2 changed it so that impetuous troops in an inert led army remain impetuous. They are now even harder to control than under V1.0. I can think of only a handful of armies that will now take inert led impetuous troops due to this.
