Hi
Simple question.

Unit A is in a wood it is FL.


Unit B , which is also FL is 3.5 H away from B.

At this point in cannot see Unit A

Can Unit B advance into contact with a double move, causing it to charge?

B can move so that he can see A and then charge with a second move once spotted. In this way A could react if allowed to do so.

Thanks for this, but if i advance Unit B 2 h towards unit A , i am in the wood but still 1.5 h away, so i canot see unit A hence i canot charge them.?


Is that correct?

If so i would need to move again and see them then charge them. This would mean three moves?

If i make a charge the move distance would be infact 2 h ?

We played that i had to move three times, but unit A counter chareged. I
The third move was then canceled. Is that correct?

Yes, you have to make 2 moves in this case (the target of the charge must be visibile).

And yes, 2H FL moving in a wood.

As for countercharge the coutercharger should have 1H move to do, otherwise is not possible (the charger is too close). I assume that hardly you (the charger) will stop exactly at 1H (enough to be spotted and countercharged). So in most cases you can manage not to be countercharged.
