Hi Dave. I'm the original poster of the debate on the forum. The way you have shown it here is exactly how I would play it and the only sticky situation I had as mentioned was the target who was going to be charged are they free or as they were part of the charge are they now penalised from further movement ect, as the way you explained it and I agree as that as the charge never took place then YES they are free to charge another unit if one was available in the non phasing turn charge turn or move in the movement phase. cheers R
Hi Dave. If the unit declaring the opportunity charge were a support at the start of the phasing players charge would that prevent them declaring an opportunity charge. It is the defenders ‘disadvantage’ that all units than can support must, even if they don’t get involved in the actual charge outcome. Surely your interpretation ignores this requirement and disadvantages the phasing player who has the initiative in the first instance?.. Just my twopenneth! Cheers. Nick
Nick Jennings Hi Nick, No it does not prevent them from declaring the opportunity charge. Supports count during the Charge phase outcomes. Opportunity charges take the initiative away from the phasing player in this instance only.
