Move sequence - confusion
« on: 14 October 2013, 10:39:02 PM »
Craig etal,
                Reading over the rules again, and I am suddenly confused by how the move sequence works.  My games will be two player or even solo, so that part of the initiative roll won't matter.  What I am not sure about is what happens when figures start moving.  Does the player with the highest initiative move ALL his figures, followed by ALL of his opponent's, or is it alternate, one of His then one of Mine?  It would seem hard to bring an attack home if the latter is correct.

The player with the initiative moves one of their figures first, then their opponent moves one and so on.

As for mounting an assault read 3.2.3 Moving into contact, especially the second paragraph. Once you are in base-to-base contact with an enemy you are technically fighting them, though this isn't resolved until the Fighting Phase.

If your opponent wants to move the contacted figure away they must disengage - 3.2.4 Disengaging from a fight. To succeed the figure must not have already moved this turn and must make a Pluck roll.

So with good tactical sense you can pin your opponent's figures into fights and mount your assault.
