Random Movement query

[fatolaf]

This came up in our game on saturday..

If a fleeing Hellpit rallies, can it then charge that sam turn.

The rules state that a rallying unit can not move again the movment phase, but since it has compulsory movement, can it then turn round and potentially charge the pursing unit..

@ steve - It can flee 3D6 though, so it was alive (random movement rules)

I would say once rallied you cannot move after the reform, for 2 reasons. First off the rules say "A rallied unit cannot perform further actions during the Movement phase". Cannot basically means it is physically incapable of doing anything else.

Secondly rallying is done in the compulsory movement phase so once rallied the compulsory movement phase for that unit is over.

It is the first phase and then its the movement phase..

I ruled that it could not do it, and I dont think I have ever seen it done, but not sure...

as rallying happens before the compulsory movement phase.
random movement happens in the compulsory movement phase, you don't have a choice not to move.

there is a post about about this TWF

Same phase, just rallying happens first

and most seem to agree with me....

It does say you can no longer move after you have rallied, seems clear to me

[Tom Hale]

you can't charge/ move after you rally with a helpit

Did not think I had seen it happen before, would be horrendous

[Undead Dan]

Yeah I agree, no movement after rallying!
