Fantasy Rules for us beginners!

Who can attack in combat is not quite so simple (obviously);

Only 1st rank gets all attacks, 2nd rank gets 1 attack (unless it's in base contact i.e. flank attack or rear) but only to the front, Spears get an additional rank except on the charge.

Isnt there something about the unit containing so many models then the 3rd rank also get single attack the same as the supporting attack of the second rank?!

A Horde (10 wide or more) can use supporting attacks from the 3rd rank as well.

Just to keep things nice and simple hey!!!!!

Chris (& anyone else interested), been having a read through and a few points to note;

All units should be 1" apart, friend or foe unless in combat

Magic - max 6 dice to cast, cast or dispel roll of 1 or 2 is auto fail

Shooting - Can't shoot if marched/rallied/reformed/failed charge/fleeing, can shoot through a unit (friend or foe) but counts as hard cover (-2 to hit)

Combat - supporting attacks (2nd/3rd row) only get 1A each, if unit is 10 wide 3rd row can support

Combat res - No wounds/+1 charge (regardless of multi units)/Rank bonus (if multi units then highest rank bonus counts)/+1 for at least 1 standard (not per standard)/+1 for at least 1 flank/+2 for at least 1 rear/+1 if charged downhill/+1 for BSB/+1 per excess wound caused in challenge (max +5)

Combat break test - unmodified Ld if more ranks than winner

Combat reform - winners can reform, loser require Ld to reform

... a few things to try and remember this week!
