Sharp Practice 2: two interpretations


 

A rules query,

light troops get a bonus dice of movement. Can they use this every turn or can they only use it as a bonus when they are using one or both actions for movement i.e. do they have to be moving to get the extra dice?

Watching an AAR online, I realised that the players interpreted the rule differently from me.

Thanks

Stephen


 

Skirmishers get the bonus dice of movement when they're activated so they can always move 1d6 and then have their two actions as normal. You are free to use the two actions in any way you like.

I don't think the bonus die has to be used first, or at least that's not specified.

Light Infantry and Skirmishers get an
additional movement Action each time they
are activated. This can only be used for
movement. Irregular Skirmishers do not have
this benefit.

Cheers,
Pete

I've always read that rule as they get an extra dice which can only be used for movement. Can be used at any point in their activation, like any other dice. Simple as that.

Hi Stephen

I agree with what Peter said, the bonus die is always available for movement (Table 6 p32 states that clearly).

Best wishes

Mick

Yeah that's how I do it.

Hi Jim

Good to hear from you. Yes, all fine up here, thanks. I've been keeping busy with IABSM solo and doing a lot of terrain stuff as well as a new caulk mat inspired by Pat Smith's second volume of Setting the Scene. If you can remember my games room, I've given it a bit of a refurb which involved a new dark green walled look, more cupboards, low hanging "snooker" lights over the table to replace the spotlights and a lovely leather armchair which Dianne kindly suggested I take over from the house!?

Hopefully, gaming with my two close wargaming mates won't be long off now - have you decided when the club will be able to start meeting again?

Best wishes to all and look forward to seeing you before too much longer - maybe at Border Reiver?

Mick

Thanks, everyone for your responses and help,

It clearly states that it is a bonus movement action.? They did not say that they get an additional die on a movement action or on one or both of their actions if they take each as movemnts.
