I've been unable to source the probably mythical V2 of the Field of Glory-ancients rule book. I * have* found a QRS sheet & a summary of the changes. I'm trying to reverse engineer it but the summary tells me the new version prohibits Leapfrogging & Teleporting. I have no idea what these terms signify. They are not in my V1 rulebook. I'd dearly love to abstain from doing either but as I don't know what they are, possibly I'm practicing them now. Any clarification of this dense jargon is welcome. |

Can't say. V2 was, originally, only iPad and… PC? Anyway a limited number of physical copies were finally printed. Finding one will be difficult I'd image. As to the question it's self I don't recall it. Have you searched Slitherines FoG forums? |

In other rules I've seen terms like this used for moving units over distance not allowed in movement rules by doing maneuvers and formation changes. |

IIRC it's something like moving LF into contact with a friendly unit (or even worse two or more units) and it pops out the other side, exceeding it's normal movement allowance (possible by a large amount) as it does so. |

Marshal Mark has it correct. It was moving LH/LF so that they legally interpentrated another unit but did not have the movement to clear. They were then teleported through. I have the version 2 rule book but it remains unread and I am slowly migrating back to DBMM. |

The version 2 book was (and probably still is) print on demand. |
