The battlefield

[jonathan.w.ingram@exgate]

I'm sure this has come up before, but does TSR have any plans to modify the
battle rules to account for flank and rear attacks? How does everyone else
handle flank and rear attacks?

I would also like to know how flank and rear attacks are run in
everybody elses campaign. At the moment I don't use them, however I
think it would be better if they were included as recently battles in my
campaign have been coming down almost exclusively to numbers (and there
has been some epic battles between Roesone and Ghoere, and between a
thief regent (defending Medoere) against Diemed.

Defending eh?Well that was how it started I'll give you that :-)I personally
like the idea of rear attacks , not neccessarily flanking though.
What I was wondering; is anyone using rules that stop cavalry units from
retreating then charging in the same turn? {ie. get attacked by Infantry so
they back off and then in their move charge in}.
I realise that horse would be able to charge from the 25metres or however far a
'square' on the battlefield is, but it just seems to happen all the time.
hmmm
Must buy more pikemen.
Also, anyone know of any weaknessess of attacking Cerilian Dragons that can be
exploited by a wittle thief?

lordly domains.
