Good morning,
I need a little advice on the Infamy rules in connection to the use of missiles by both attackers and defenders in the movement before a melee [the charge phase if you like].
1. The attacker: provided the attackers obey the rule to move on one die not two dice and the leader has a spare command or a signa card the attackers can 'fire' on the way in?
2. The defender: the defender can 'fire' if they have a signa card or they their leader has not yet activated and has an Infamy card that allows an interruption? Can they fire simply because their leader has not yet activated?
3. A linked but separate topic. Roman drills etc. e.g. shields up. I can see that with a signa card to spare you can do this at the point of need. Can leaders "save" a command when they are activated OR use one if they have not yet been activated OR order one in advance though it might not be needed.
For example. A formation of legionaries faces a horde that are getting high on fervour. Their Centurion is activated, can he order 'brace' now so that if they are charged later in the turn they are ready; or can he save a command to order "brace" if it's needed; or does he depend on having a signa card to play at the moment before impact?
Thanks for any help. I'm in the midst of my first real campaign and so far the Gauls are getting the best of it.
Stephen
