"Squarebashing rules query" Topic

Hi,

we're enjoying playing this right now, but 1 question I have is around the 'help from other squares' modifier. Can a square 'assault' and be a support square for another assaulted square at the same time?

so A & E assault D, with A the main square can E count as support square? (as well as an assaulting square)
and can E count as support for C assaulting F? as well?

Any confirmation on these issues?

thanks
Simon

Best off asking this on the RFCM yahoo group.

I think support squares count for ANY square they are legally entitled to support, there is no limit to the amount of times a square can support, so if you are assaulting with A & C, then BOTH B & E support both attacks.

However, the way we play it is that you can choose which of the squares you are leading your assault from. In the case above, I would choose E rather than A to attack D to get the flank bonus, with A & B both in support.

I may be wrong, but this is how we play the rules.

Good Question (good diagram too)
Always happy to answer questions on TMP!
All squares can support all squares.
Thus a square can be supporting and doing other things too. This is intended to encourage players to keep units close to each other.

all the best

Thanks for the answers!

is the RFCM forum still alive? the link from the PP site doesn't work and the latest forum set up earlier this year is gone.

thanks
