John Staunton - 08:34pm Sep 3, 2002 PST (#2447 of 2482) Hi Richard, I have a couple more Line of Fire: Lundy's Lane questions. Artillery fire results apply to all units in the target hex. Therfore a 5-7 roll on the Artillery Fire Resolution table, then a roll greater then adjusted Morale results in disorder for ALL units in the hex? Correct? Retreats. After defeat in a shock battle the vanquished must retreat. As I see it, they can only retreat to one of the flank hexes of the contested hex, otherwise they will be in the frontal hexes of the unit that gained the hex. I must be wrong here? Is the attacker that took the hex taken into consideration when determining a retreat hex?

Joseph Epstein, "Snobbery, The American Version" "..then a roll greater then adjusted Morale results in disorder for ALL units in the hex? Correct?" The Morale Check result appleis to all units, but you check the result of that check individually, for each unit (separate dierolls). "As I see it, they can only retreat to one of the flank hexes of the contested hex, otherwise they will be in the frontal hexes of the unit that gained the hex. I must be wrong here? " No . . . I don't think there's any provision about not being able to retreat in such fashion . . .doesn't the retreat require more than one hex of movement? (Don't have the rules in front of me . . . if it doesn't, so be it . . .)

I guess my question really is this...does the position and pressence of the victor in the contested hex influence the retreat of the defeated unit? The sequence of the shock attack implies that the victor gains the hex before the defeated leave it? Therefore, the retreating unit may well be limited to one of the victors 2 frontal hexes, and thus would receive yet another hit. During movement a stack of 2 or more units can shift up or down in the stack. 5.15 limits the movement of a unit(s) begining its movement in the frontal hex of an enemy to 1 hex away from the enemy. If such a unit does not move, remains in the frontal hex of an enemy unit, may it reorganize the stack? And if so will it trigger reaction fire? I figure it is no to both thesee questions...but better to ask :-) Thanks again, John -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard H.

I could go either way on this, but I'l l say No. RHB
