Hello,

I've read almost all the BoB (I stop at the page 52, Extended melee phase, for now), and I have some question, so, let's go :


First Charge Bonus, p16 : it's written "Knights with other melee weapons can charge, but get no charge bonus, nor use their horse damage, but have a +1d6 to their own damage, if successful", and, in The Charge synopsis, p26, it's written "Mounted w/ other weapon : +1d6 bonus to damage against foot..." : so, does the bonus damage apply against a mounted man ? Moreover, does this bonus applies also in a normal fight, because it's not written in the Base Book (and, with a Saxon knight with a two hand axe, it might be very powerful... more than a Charger charge...
Automatic actions, p20 : when battle intensity is higher than 25 (or lower than 15), one side is retreating : which maneuver do I have to apply for the NPC (Run Away ?, Withdraw ?). What could arrive for a Player unit that won't retreat when a Battle Intensity is higher than 25 (and so, all the NPC units move backward !) ?
The Ambush, p21 : the Battlefields Obstacles for Pict Uplands have disappeared ^_^
Table 10: Go after the Enemy, p31 : the Maneuver "Stop" isn't described on the following pages ? what do you mean by "Enemy Army Pulls Away" ?
the same table, p31 : how should the GM determine that the Enemy Army "pulls away", "withdraw", "retreat" or "is routing" ?
Extended melee phase, p52 : "The extended melee phase may be undertaken only after all the steps of a normal round are completed" and some lines below "Note that extended melee phases do not have an "End of the Round" phase", but this is the step 5 of a normal battle round.... so, what's right ?

Rescue a friend / 2. Unit Melee, p53 : "All members fight another phase of melee... This is a new wave that ..." : so, theese new opponents have full hit points ?

Ending extended Melee, p53 : "A unit may repeat the phase as long as the players wish". Does it means that the opponents are also from a new wave (with full hp) ?

Fight an Enemy leader, p54 : there's some words missing from the beginning of the second column.


I'll continue my readings tomorrow...

More questions :


Unit Cohesion, Table 7, p 21 & Unit Cohesion Modifier, p43 & Appendix B Complete Unit Cohesion Modifiers, table 21, p80 : there is missing (the Normal,) the Ambushed and the Behind Enemy conditions in this last table

Terrain modifier, table 6 p20 & Appendix C, Complete Terrain modifiers table 22, p81 : there isn’t the same terrains in these two tables, and we can’t easily do the links. What’s the equivalent for “Into the Woods” (+15 to mounted, no chase possible) in the table 22 ? Which table is the good one ?

Move on flank, p26-27 & Offensive Maneuvers, table 8 p24 & Complete Maneuvers for BoB, p 88 : Triumph hasn’t the same effect in the tables and in the Unit result under the description of the maneuver : -1 OR -2 Intensity ?

Forgive my chopping your letter up, but I and going to respond to your questions one in their own letters.

I will ask everyone to please do it this way as it is my preferred method. It helps m find things later, and also to answer part immediately and do some research for another part.

--Greg

no problem.... it's really clearer as you presented your answers....

And thank you for all these answers... I think I now understand the rules... but I have some more questions (about error in the book, I think, and particularly in the Sample Battle)...

I'm translating the Battle Maneuvers Table in French, and I found some errors in the differents maneuvers.... see all my others post...
