Rules Questions / Re: Overlaps on rear support
« Last post by LawrenceG1 on August 15, 2021, 06:57:05 AM »No.
But an enemy front edge in contact with a supporting element's flank counts as a flank contact on the front element.

Rules Questions / Overlaps on rear support
« Last post by Neil Williamson on August 14, 2021, 09:27:59 PM »At a recent tournament in NZ I found that players play this situation differently.
If an element is in front edge combat and not overlapped, but an element behind providing rear support is overlapped, is there a -1 combat factor adjustment?

Rules Questions / Re: WWg(S) in Close Combat
« Last post by LawrenceG1 on July 06, 2021, 11:05:14 AM »Thanks again Lawrence!
But what if the Wwg(S) was a Bge(S).
Do I understand it correctly that in that case the contacted side of the Bge(S) will be the front edge, the Bge(S) fights both Bd(O) in turn this bound and the Wwg(S) gets a -1 for a overlap (at least in the first combat)?
It seems a completely different combat situation.
Correct, assuming you meant to write: "... the Bge(S) gets a -1 for a overlap (at least in the first combat)".

Rules Questions / Re: Arrival Surprise
« Last post by LawrenceG1 on July 06, 2021, 11:00:38 AM »Interpreting "place of arrival" as "the place where something arrives" is simpler than interpreting it as "the set of all places where something might potentially arrive".
This was also the practice in earlier versions of DBMM and its predecessor, DBM.

Rules Questions / Re: Arrival Surprise
« Last post by Neil Williamson on July 05, 2021, 09:32:05 PM »Thank you for your prompt reply.
Interestingly, the other interpretation was from some players who had been playing a long time.
I wonder if it was different under earlier ruleset editions, or dbm.
I've only played 2.1
I'll post this on our Facebook group.
Thanks again

Rules Questions / Re: Arrival Surprise
« Last post by LawrenceG1 on July 05, 2021, 11:36:37 AM »And the correct interpretation is...
the flee rule is applied when the flanking elements are placed on the table ie. they flee in their opponent's bound. The place of arrival being where the flank marchers actually enter.

Rules Questions / Arrival Surprise
« Last post by Neil Williamson on July 05, 2021, 07:35:47 AM »At our recent tournament in Wellington, I came across different interpretations of the Arrival Surprise rule.
Several players interpreted the rule that the flee rule is applied when the flanking elements are placed on the table ie. they flee in their opponent's bound. The place of arrival being where the flank marchers actually enter.
Others played it that they flee in their own bound, immediately after their opponent has declared the arrival of a flank march. In this case the place if arrival is any potential point on the flank or rear edge as appropriate for a 5 or a 6 on the PIP die.
And the correct interpretation is...?

Rules Questions / Re: WWg(S) in Close Combat
« Last post by LawrenceG1 on June 20, 2021, 11:15:29 AM »Since the edge counts normally:
The blade adjacent to the front corner (i.e. the "front half" of the flank edge) fights. Is is in close combat with the flank edge of the WWg so the WWg gets a -1 combat factor for enemy in close combat with its flank.
The other blade has not met the criteria for moving into close combat against a flank edge, therefore does not fight. However, if the first blade recoils or is destroyed, it will adjust its contact by sliding 80p to contact the "front half" of the flank edge. It will fight in the following bound.
If the WWg just loses, nothing happens. If the WWg scores half or less, it is destroyed.
