There were a couple of questions that came up and I would be happy to settle them here.....
1) Hatred- the Shaman causes hatred, if he is killed does this "hatred" continue for the current round, we played that since a battle standard's influence lasts even if killed, to the results phase, then hatred must last until a new combat round begins without the Shaman... what do you think?
Answer: I've always played than once he's dead, he no longer influences the unit. One thing I've been arguing should be changed in the next version of Warhammer Fantasy (which still a long way off yet, so no rumours please!) is that we should get rid of the 'time warp' rules for rank bonuses and standards etc, and make all tests be based on the situation that applies at the time of the test. This said, either method is OK for the Shaman.
2) If a unit with thrusting spears (not in phalanx) in two rank charges it only gets one rank the first turn. After that round does it get the full two ranks?
Answer: Yes.
3) Can units that maneuver or change formation shoot? I thought no..... but then I couldn't find it in the WAB rules.... is this just a fabrication of my addled brain?
Answer: Yes, but they count as moving.
Hope that helps,
Jervis
