A single unit can use 1 AP to perform the Prepare action. It cannot move into base contact with an enemy unit and then perform the Prepare action, because I believe all APs are lost once in base contact with an enemy.
However, a group move carries with it an included Prepare action. I take it that the Prepare action cannot be performed by the group if one unit contacts an enemy unit, is that correct?
Hi Kenntak, Yes if they are still in base contact after their fights have been resolved they would have to fight each other. By the end of the combat phase, there should be no enemy units touching each other.
I understand that every unit is armed with a knife as standard equipment. However, if I equip my support hero (or another unit) with a standard, can I also equip them with another weapon, shield or other item? In other words, are there limitations to equipping them?
Hi Kenntak, No there are no limitations on how much equipment a particular unit can take. It's just up to you how heavily armed you want a unit to be compared to their cost. For example, I usually take my heavy cavalry with both lance and sword so I can get the chance to automatically wound when I charge and then switch to the sword in close combat so I get +1s to attack rolls. And I usually take both sling and pilum for my Imperial Romans so I can get attacks in at long range from the sling and switch to the Pilum when I get closer to the enemy. Makes the troops more expensive but I find they work well for how I usually play.
The player that lost the least of amount of units can pick any enemy unit within 6” of one of its Heroes for the Morale checks. What if that player no longer has any heroes?
Hi Kenntak, If a player has lost all of their heroes, they are unable to force Morale Checks
Hi Kenntak, the group can use the prepare action. However only units who don't finish their movement in base contact with an enemy will receive the benefits of it.
