After deciding the sides, but before deploying any unit.

Yes.

No, your casting result determines the 'strength' of the spell. In other words, the higher your casting result, the more power the spell will have and the greater its effect will be.

It is the maximum distance from an enemy unit at which it can declare a charge.

A unit that is closer to the top of a hill (i.e., the centre of the hill or the edge of the battlefield) can draw a line of sight across and shoot over one that is closer to the bottom. Units cannot draw a line of sight across or shoot over units that are closer to the top of a hill than they are.

No. Models must be in base contact with the enemy to make Impact Hits or Stomp Attacks.

Yes.

No.

No. You must use a magic item fully or not at all.

Impact Hits are resolved prior to issuing challenges. Stomp Attacks may be directed against the other participant in the challenge.

No. Page 143 of the rulebook makes it clear that, except in rare cases, units cannot shoot enemy units that are engaged in combat. In the case of cannon, this means the target point cannot be placed in such a way as to risk the cannonball hitting a friendly unit, or an enemy unit engaged in combat with a friendly unit.

Yes.

The spell is cast at the Wizard's Initiative, meaning attacks generated by the spell are made at the Wizard's Initiative. However, if the casting Wizard wishes to use a weapon with the Strike Last special rule, those attacks are made at Initiative 1.

No. As stated in the item's description, the wearer of the Wizarding Hat is a Level 1 Wizard and knows one randomly generated spell. This is clearly a huge detriment to a powerful Wizard, but might be a boon to any character that is not a Wizard.

It rather depends on the models that remain in the unit. If any Giant Slayers remain, they will pick up the instrument or standard, replacing the slain models like for like. If no Giant Slayers remain, a Troll Slayer will take their place. Note also that Giant Slayers are not unit champions. Thus in a unit of Slayers, the standard bearer would be the last model removed.

Yes. As stated in the item's rules, a unit carrying the Griffon Standard can claim a Rank Bonus of +2 for each extra rank behind the first, rather than the usual +1, meaning a unit with two extra ranks could claim a Rank Bonus of +4, rather than the usual +2.

The Lance formation offers a bit more flexibility than other formations. For example, it is perfectly acceptable to place a character such as a Duke or a Baron at the front of the Lance should you wish. In the case of a Handmaiden of the Lady, the Shield of the Lady special rule allows such models to be placed at the rear of such units. Alternatively, they can be placed within the unit. In this case, the extra base size will make very little difference to the shape of the unit.

No. The aura of effect of a range 'self' spell is not its range.

Use the Initiative Value of the Crew

Yes.

No. A unit cannot be obscured from the enemy by itself.

As stated on page 111, in order to dispel a Remains in Play spell during your Conjuration sub-phase, you must beat the minimum casting value given in the spell's description. This is the case even if the spell was cast at the higher of two given casting values.

No. The only exception to this is when a unit pivots.

Missile weapons mounted on chariots (or howdahs) are shot by the crew, using their Ballistic Skill.

Yes, provided it has a high enough Unit Strength (as per the errata on page 1). A unit of just one model is still a unit.

Yes. Counter Charge is a rule that represents the skill and ferocity of the rider, not their mount. In other words, not every rider is willing or able to perform a counter charge, regardless of their mount.

Nudge the units the smallest amount possible until all skirmishers are able to form up behind the fighting rank.

No, you choose whichever armour value is better. However, allowing for magical armour and other special rules, 'better' is somewhat subjective. Obviously an armour value of 4+ is better than one of 6+ but there is often more to deciding which armour to use than just the armour value it offers, many types of magic armour confer additional bonuses that make them better. Basically, when the rules say choose they are giving you a choice.

Yes. If Harald's second challenge is accepted it is fought immediately, meaning both Harald and his opponent can fight. However, Harald's mount may not fight, and nor may his opponent's.

No. Because a war machine and its crew are treated as a single model, you must use the crew's BS.

No. Ambushers and Scouts are declared simply by not having been deployed when you place your Characters.

No. Whilst a unit with Random Movement can move into base contact with an enemy unit during the Compulsory Moves sub-phase, Arcane Urgency causes units to move when the spell is cast, during the Remaining Moves sub-phase.

No.

Yes. When a pursuing unit catches an enemy unit that Fell Back in Good Order, it counts as having charged that unit.

No. The Steam Power special rule can be used by a Steam Tanks, a model that cannot march, instead of marching. In other words, in instances where most models or units would increase their movement by marching, a Steam Tank can instead make use of the Steam Power special rule. Charging is not such an instance.

Yes. However, an allied contingent of Bretonnians taken as part of any other army cannot pray. In order for Bretonnians to pray, the army they are part of must have the Blessings of the Lady rule, which only Kingdom of Bretonnia armies have.

Yes. The template must be moved the full distance rolled on the D3 but, if that allows you to position it to hit an enemy character, you may do so. Sneaky Goblin Doom Divers steer their flight in an attempt to hit the best possible target, so this is completely in character.

Follow the same order for recovering wounds as for a rank and file unit. However resurrected models must be placed within 1" coherancy of a model that was alive at the start of the phase. Models that cannot be placed are lost.

Yes, the ability stacks until it expires.

No, values given as a target number cannot be combined to lower the target number. If a model has two or more Ward saves, as per the example, simply use the best.

As many as you wish, or, peaps more accurately, as many as your opponent has in play and as many as you are able.

Yes, provided the unit does not end its movement 'on top' of another unit or within 1" of an enemy unit.

Should any part of a unit cross beyond the edge of the battlefield whilst it is Giving Ground, the entire unit is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed.

No.

No. Determine the penalty on a model by model basis.

No, a shield is carried by the character, not the mount.

Yes

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

The Wizard is transmogrified, but not their mount. In the example given, you would be left with a Frog riding a Dragon.

Yes.

Such situations are covered by the rules for Accidental Contact During a Charge. If the Lance can wheel around the enemy unit, it should do so. If not, the Lance has two choices; halting its charge or continuing ahead and making contact with the enemy unit, treating it as a redirected charge.

Fanatics are an upgrade for the unit; their cost is included when working out VP for the unit itself. In other words, the death of an individual Fanatic is not worth any VP, but destroying the unit it was concealed within will earn you the VP for the Fanatic as part of the unit's points cost.

If the resurrected models cannot be placed, they are lost.

Yes.

No. When you re-roll a dice the previous roll is discarded. This includes any effects that roll may have triggered.

It ends immediately.

Yes. Wheeling during a charge is part of the charge move. The free wheel to align once contact is made is free.

The unit's movement stops immediately, as if it were surrounded.

Yes. When a unit Counter Charges, it risks exposing its flanks or rear to the enemy, such are the perils of bravado.

A unit in Skirmish formation in combat adopts a rank and file formation as described on p.185. During combat this means that it has a "flank" and a "rear" for the purposes of charging, but not for combat resolution. It retains this formation until it is no longer engaged in combat, at which point it will return to its Skirmishing formation (or may, if reforming following a successful test to restrain, overrun or FBIGO, change to another formation available to it.) Note that a unit that returns to Skirmish formation or reforms to Skirmish formation from rank and file is not able to "spread out" to 1" coherency, but will remain base to base until it can move apart in a future turn.

No.

‘Nowhere to Run’ on Rulebook, p. 211 states that a character or champion cannot refuse a challenge if: They are not part of a unit, or they are the last remaining model in a unit. They are part of a unit which is engaged in all four of its arcs (i.e., a unit that is completely surrounded).

Yes.

Yes. Note that if the parent unit is destroyed but the spawned units are alive, you will still recieve full points for all of the costs of that unit.

After testing against the item's Power Level (in place of its Level of Wizardry), it may be turned into an inanimate frog, rendering it useless until it turns back. During each Start of Turn sub-phase, you may roll a D6 for each transmogrified item in your army to see if it returns to normal, as described on page 343.

Yes. Whilst the stakes might do tremendous damage to 'cavalry' and 'chariots' the momentum of such models when they charge will carry them into the archers, although they may be turned to kindling in the attempt.

Provided they can be placed within 3" of their concealing unit and not touching the bases of any other models, yes.

Follow the same order for recovering wounds as for a rank and file unit. However resurrected models must be placed within 1" coherancy of a model that was alive at the start of the phase. Models that cannot be placed are lost.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes.

There are several reasons. Firstly, a Drilled unit that declares a charge whilst in Marching Column can freely redress its ranks to adopt Combat Order after determining its charge range, but before moving, thus allowing it to make a charge move. Secondly, units that are obliged to declare a charge in certain circumstances (those that are Frenzied or Impetuous, for example) must do so even whilst in Marching Column. If they cannot make the charge move, they don't move at all and the charge is failed. This prevents Marching Column being used to avoid declaring compulsory charges. Alternatively, there might be a psychological advantage to declaring a charge with a Marching Column. For example, the unit might cause Terror, or the charge target might already be fleeing. Of course, it isn't easy to set up situations where such tactics can be used and therein lies the challenge.

It may happen that it is simply impossible for a pursuing or overrunning unit to move without it ending up on top' of another unit. In such cases, the unit does not move, but is considered to have made a pursuit or overrun move.

No. A unit's troop type doesn't change when joined by a character.

Find the centre of the skirmishing unit and pivot each indivdual model, moving them all parallell to the centre line towards or away as need be.

Yes.

If the enemy challenger is slain before either the mount or rider can make at least one attack, the attacks of the components that haven't made at least one attack are lost. This means that if your Dragon makes at least one of their attacks, the Dragon can make all of its attacks (including stomps).

Measure to the closest point of the target unit.

No.

The full fighting rank. When a Lance charges, it pierces deep into the enemy formation, causing the enemy lines to close around it. It's very hard to show this on the table though, hence the abstraction. Note that this can create an area of 'dead ground' between a Lance and a unit it is engaged in combat with. If any enemy units are caught within this, refer to the rules covering 'accidental contact' on page 131 of the Waammer: the Old World rulebook.

Yes. Note that the Strength characteristic of Big 'Uns is modified whilst they are engaged in combat, and that Impact Hits are made using the model's unmodified Strength characteristic.

Apply unsaved wounds to a unit one at a time and one model at a time. When a model is reduced to zero Wounds on its profile, it is removed from play as a casualty (as described on page 102). If a model loses more Wounds than it has on its profile, the excess wounds are lost - they do not spill over onto other models in the same unit. With this in mind, apply unsaved wounds that cause models to lose all of their remaining Wounds first (Killing Blows and Monster Slaying Blows, for example), then unsaved wounds that cause multiple Wounds to be lost (Multiple Wounds (X), for example), then, finally, unsaved wounds that cause a single Wound to be lost.

If the Wizard is within range of the model casting the Bound spell and not otherwise prevented from attempting a Wizardly dispel, yes. As stated on page 109, you may attempt to dispel a Bound spell as usual.

If it is able to redress the ranks (i.e., if there is space for it to do so), no. A unit that is obliged to charge must endeavour to make use of any special rules it has in order to charge. The unit just really wants to charge, and it'll play this game without you if it has to!

Unless it pursued into a fresh enemy, yes. A unit that overruns makes a normal pursuit move and, since its enemy has already been wiped out, it may attempt to reform as if it had run down its foe, as described on page 129.

As stated in the Counter Charge special rule, a model that makes a Counter Charge moves D3+1".

Ignore the italicized text for figure 186.3. Following the normal charge rules you take the shortest and straightest path to make contact. You are not obliged to move your unit directly towards the closest skirmisher.

No.

Simply, a warmachine may make a pivot once during their turn freely to facilitate their shooting attacks. This does not empower them to pivot after they shoot to hide.

An Arcane Familiar does not increase the number of spells a Wizard knows, it simply allows them to know spells from two Lores. Thus a Level 3 Wizard would know three spells from two Lores.

No. As both units are charging, the clause that a Lance is blunted if it is charged and does not counter charge is negated.

Yes. The Glowy Green Amulet is a talisman, meaning any character that can take magic items can take it. However, if they wish to use it against an enemy spell, they do so instead of a Wizardly dispel attempt being made. This means that you cannot also attempt a Wizardly dispel against a spell you use the Glowy Green Amulet against, even if the Glowy Green Amulet explodes.

A Close Order unit always acts as such, even if it only contains a single model.

Yes. Whilst such attributes are as protective as a suit of armour, such models do not wear armour.

No. Sometimes a charge isn't possible.

Yes. These rules refer to a roll on the To Hit or To Wound table before modifiers (i.e., the result after consulting the table, not the natural dice roll). Modifiers are applied as normal.

Yes. A unit that Gives Ground is not a fleeing unit. Note that, as mentioned previously, should any part of a unit cross beyond the edge of the battlefield whilst it is Giving Ground, the entire unit is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed. It is intentional that a Drilled unit might be able to avoid this fate.

Yes, the models within a skirmishing unit block line of sight. However, the target of a shooting attack may not claim a cover modifier solely because of the presence of intervening models within the unit that is making the shot.

No. Characters can move through the ranks into the fighting rank, but cannot move within the fighting rank.
