Warband vs Phalanx: Aaron asked what happened if his Barbarian cavalry failed an impetuosity test and had to charge a phalanx. By the rulebook this is an 'irristable force vs immovable object' rules question, in that one rule says one thing (must charge) and another says the opposite (may not charge). In such circumstances you should roll a D6 to see which answer prevails. Whatever you roll up does _not_ set a precedent, so if the same situation arose again you'd need to roll again. In this case one might imagine that either the sight of all those pikes will force the cavalry to stay away, or that the frothing barbarians chagr eup close to phalanx and then the riders leap off their horses and attack! The important thing is that the _rule_ under such circumstances is to roll off!
Shashimono Effect: It was asked if the re-rolls for shashimono may be used once per battle or once per failed break test. As a rule of thumb assume a reroll may be used once per test unless the rules state otherwise. However, please note that you can't reroll a reroll, so, for example, in this case if the army standard was nearby you couldn't use its' reroll as well.
Turn - March - Turn: Bill asked if turning stopped a unit from marching. The answer is yes it does, though I can see how the confusion arose. For the record, there are four types of manoeuvre: wheel, turn, change formation and reform. The only manouvre you may carry out while marching is the wheel.
Fleeing Nomads: It was asked what happens if fleeing Nomad horse, who rally automatically at the end of their move, exit the table. The answer is that they are gone and cannot return (it's one of the few ways to get rid of them!).
Armies Of Antiquity II: The rumour on Portent about AoA II is complete balderdash (where *do* these stories come from?!?). We're putting the finishing touches to Nigel Stillman's 'Chariot Wars' book (it should be out late August at a guess), and have started work on 'The Fall Of The West' by Dr John Lambshead, which covers the fall of the western Roman empire. Hopefully the third book will be the Patten's 'Age of the Vikings' book, followed by a volume on the Punic Wars. Matt Keefe and I have been discussing doing campaign books, and hopefully we'll be able to get together some protytpe scenarios for you all to look at on the WPS web site that Matt is looking after. I'm also quite keen to do a 'WAB Annual', with articles, army lists and any other cool stuff I can find about the game.
