Unit commanders who achieve only a partial success are listed as having 2 options when Going After the enemy: Chase and Follow (BoB pg 22)

Is this correct? IMO if they are only to get 2 of the 3 options then they should get Chase and Pursue, since Pursue is used to go after enemies that are withdrawing involuntarily.

Could not find any errata on this. Am I missing something?

Hmmmm....
I have only BoB2 within reach
In that edition the similar options (among others) are
Chase
Enemy Unit must be Running Away
Follow
Enemy army must be Withdrawing, and Intensity = 15+

I'll check this out

Sir Escadur
You are correct!
And I am astonished that no one, including me, has ever caught this before!
If anyone has another consideration on this,
tell me fast!
The BoB2 is going to go to production VERY soon

Thanks for the quick response...just happened to come across this issue while doing a few mock battles to make sure I understand the BoB system before using it in my campaign.

Love the BoB btw...it's a great system and I'm sure version 2.0 will be even better!
