Impetuous Cavalry
Hi, As a British player, my cavalry is impetuous and during games since v2, when on the rare occasion I will a combat, the discussion has been do my cavalry automatically pursue, my reading of the rules, or only when allowed to by the combat results. That is if I will by a defeat, I don’t pursue. Is this a correct interpretation of the rules as intended?

Re: Impetuous Cavalry
Yes you can only pursue if the combat result allows a pursuit ( win with either Routed or Eliminated result against cavalry but a simple win against infantry or artillery) however you can't do a control test to avoid perusing so be prepared to head off into the wide blue yonder!

Re: Impetuous Cavalry
Hi, that is the way we have played it, although it contradicts page 19, Impetuous cavalry is always compelled to pursue after a victorious shock. I would say a victorious shock is anything other than a melee result.

Re: Impetuous Cavalry
Cavalry that wins a melee against infantry turns the result to a rout and can pursue.
Against cavalry, cavalry need to win by 4 points to get a routed result to enable pursuit.

To quote another. The Rule writing structure is broad principle first, with exceptions later. So don't assume the broad principle over rides the exception.Major Bennet a écrit : ↑mer. 9 août 2023 15:03Hi, that is the way we have played it, although it contradicts page 19, Impetuous cavalry is always compelled to pursue after a victorious shock.
