Just thought I'd start a thread for rules queries/notes.
From the game against Luke last Tuesday the following came up (some of them we played correctly, others not):
My dragon princes charged some orcs and grimgor and won the combat but I had only a single Prince left and he had one full rank (plus an incomplete rank I think). Should Luke's troops have been steadfast when they took their Ld check even though they only had one rank? In the game his Ld was modified, but I don't know if this was right. It says 'more ranks than the enemy' so I think Luke had one full rank and I had none he should have been steadfast. This could have made quite a difference to the battle outcome I think Luke. (rules for steadfast p54)
Secondly, if the target of a charge flees (voluntarily or involuntarily due to terror), teh charger is allowed to make a redirected charge against a different unit if they pass an Ld test (p18)
Cancelling rank bonus only occurs if the flanking/rear unit has two ranks or more (so general on griffon can't disrupt) p52
I think you can only use a characters Ld for panic/ break tests if it's joined to the unit or it's the General and within 12" of the unit (18" if on a large target monster). so other independent characters don't count. p107
Stone Thrower uses the small blast template (p114), I was using the outer edge of your template Luke when working out how many of my elves had been hit - oops!
One for me to remember - Eltharions sword does not allow armour saves.
Lastly - marching: as Luke said you only seem to test Ld if you start your move within 8" of an enemy, so if you start marching further away and come within 8" you don't need to test (maybe I am remembering old rules here?). p26.
Marching doesn't prevent spellcasting in the magic phase.
