Passage of Lines
Posté : sam. 10 avr. 2021 22:40
I am having difficulty understanding passage of lines and have two questions.
1. Consider the following case. Each character shown is one base with 11 and 22 infantry units, 33 is a Cavalry unit. All are facing in the same direction - up on this page. No other units are within 1 UD
11
11
22
22
33
May the Cavalry unit 33 pass through both 11 and 22 using passage of lines even though there is not a gap between these units? The rules on page 37 only address the requirement for a gap on either side of the units passing, not in front or in back. However the third bullet does specify there must be room on the other side of the unit being passed through. I take that to mean at the end of the move but it is not explicitly specified that way.
2. Second Question. The rules for Retreat or Flee of a defeated unit allow it to pass through friends using passage of lines. What happens if the retreat or flee distance results in the unit not passing entirely through the friend? In this case is the unit retreat or flee distance increased to push them to the other side of the friend?
