PURSUIT BY SUPPORTING UNITS
Gone blank . Can't find a reference to show if a Supporting Unit can pursue if it is not in melee and the Main Unit pursues. Help

Re: PURSUIT BY SUPPORTING UNITS
Not sure what you mean by not in melee mate, to be a support unit it must be in so I will proceed on that basis.
The only Support units that can follow up are: Impetuous , Heavy Cavalry and Heavy Chariots.
They can do so only if the main unit pursues
Ref: 7.7.3 p41 Main Rule Book

Re: PURSUIT BY SUPPORTING UNITS
Thanks for that. By not in melee I meant that it was not engaged by another Unit and so would be able to move in pursuit.
I thought I read somewhere any Support Unit could also pursue if the Main Unit did so but rolled a separate dice. I must have been having a Blonde moment.
Cheers,
Dennis

Re: PURSUIT BY SUPPORTING UNITS
You are correct Dennis. Take a look at the very end of 7.7.3 on page 41 for the reference.

Thanks. You were right only Impetuous, Heavy Cav or Chariot Supporting Units can pursue using a separate dice roll.
So I was having a Blonde moment.

Only partially blonde Dennis. You were correct about supporting units pursuing. The only caveat is as GG says, that pursuit by support units is limited to certain types.

Re: PURSUIT BY SUPPORTING UNITS
Thanks, for the encouragement. Maybe the blonde is just me going grey.

It's just blonde highlights. They'll grow out.
I'd be more worried about the curling.

Re: PURSUIT BY SUPPORTING UNITS
Not so much the curling but the thinning out effect

Dont worry mate it is already happening from all the questions for the rest of us too, but dont lose your 'Vercingetorix Moustache' in the process Dennis! Marvelous!
Be aware gentlemen you are dealing with the Paul Hogan of War Gaming in a nice but frustrating colourful way. Means for very Entertaining games, and a very good painter of mins.
Thankyou for the very civilised info gentlemen.
