Bataille Empire

Pleased that you like them. The battles will be as interesting as the players make them.
(Given some of their comments while playing i will continue to just add my own commentary ).

We have not yet had a game where individual units arrived. However, I would suggest that if they have no action marker after arrival, then they behave like any unit of their division when activated.

I don't have the rules with me, but if I recall correctly, you would dice for CP as usual and move on to the table. Once there, the division gets it order and is as free to react as if it had always been there. Of course, if units doubled moved and acquired an action marker or had been given an orde...

Is it permitted to do a combination of moves types?

For example, an infantry column with a move of 6UD moves backward for 1UD and follows it with a lateral move of 2UD.
Both moves are at half rate so the distance it is not an issue.

We also sometimes see slides and laterals combined.

If a rocket battery rolls a 1 there are possible problems.
Does this only apply when the rocket is the primary shooter and not a support shooter?

Cavalry that wins a melee against infantry turns the result to a rout and can pursue.
Against cavalry, cavalry need to win by 4 points to get a routed result to enable pursuit.

Agreed it is not totally clear. The changed sequence was trialled in the tests for version 2. The order that it is written in version 2 does have the multipliers before the abilities. This is really the only clue.

When I wrote the alternative army list program for v2 I knew it was different to the version 1 calculation because it was changed in the trial versions. The multiplier for size is applied immediately after the status value is added. In v1 it was the final step. L2 infantry 6 points Militia status -1...

The rules for rockets state what happens when rolling one if firing rockets.
What about if the rocket is firing in support rather than being the primary shooter?
Hopefully this doesn’t require a test for the rocket battery as well. The rules are already quite drastic.

I think your final paragraph sums up the situation. But that's just my opinion.
