Pursuing Fiegned-Flighters
« on: October 18, 2009, 02:42:52 PM »
Hi

I attack Kn with Cav.
The result is a draw.
Now I use Feigned flight.

The Cav "breaks off" the combat and is 300p from the Kn after the flight.  [open terrain].

Does the Kn pursue when the Cav breaks off with FF , thus narrowing the distance between Kn & Cv to potentially only 220p?

This is critical if fighting Kn(F) as it could mean that Kn(F) could reach FF-ing cavalry.

Pursuit is P42, 1 Para.
Flee moves are on P41.

I think the critical interpretation is the first sentence on P42.
"If close combat opponents recoil, flee....."
Is a FF a flee move?
I think so, therefore the Kn should pursue.

Yeo I agree.

plus on page 15 it specifies that FF triggers "an immediate flee outcome move" - note the term outcome - that's a combat result, so yes, the Kn follows up and get a bit closer.
