Hi,
I understand there has been a discussion on the halting of Impetuous Troops Types - but I can't find it (done a search on halt, halting, etc) may just be me going blind - but would be grateful if someone could point me to the item.
I like to use lots of Impetuous Troops Types (typically LH(S)) and enjoy being able to only pay 2 PIPs to hold a Group (on the rare occasion I do
).
However, being able hold Impetuous Troup Types from doing a Spontaneous move seems wrong by the rules.
Confusion reigns here for me due to the wording of the 2nd para of HALTS. However, everything prior to this PARA involving halts (p.27, 1 PIP expenditure item & P.31 HALTS, 1st dot) specifies ELEMENTS specifically where other rule items specify ELEMENTS OR GROUPS.
I therefore read it that the GROUP part of the 2nd para refers ONLY to troops that can become SPONTANEOUS due to events but are NOT normally impetuous troop types
In addition, it seems to me that (and the items I have read here on the original thoughts about Impetuous troop types) they should be difficult to control; so, once you start moving them, realistically you have to keep moving them if you want to keep them under control; and that HALTs of Groups for only 2 PIPs is too easy.
As I say I would be interested in reading the ideas around the apparent consensus that groups of, or including, impetuous troops types can be HALTED as a group.
