...oh god, I know what he's trying to do.

Uh, quick rules question! Am I allowed to retreat from 119 to 134 if/when the corp attack comes? And if I do before leading units are flipped, do I still take losses for retreating infantry from the reserve/different approaches?

Yes, and yes. Essentially, when a threat is declared, you declare which units are defending. If you declare none, you're retreating; one step loss in the reserve (two if it's a wide approach), and one step loss per approach you're occupying other than the attacking approach (two if it's wide).

So if I retreat now, I lose two steps total. If I meet this attack/feint (probably a feint) I lose three total. But I can force Legrande to advance his units, maybe?

Baaaaaah. Not worth it.

Retreat to 134.

I haven't just told him about the threat, i've also shown the frenchies all your troops displacement. This represents you guys going for a toilet break and the other player sneaking a look at all your pieces.

Just a quick rules question--does the 1Cav in 121 belong to me or to Aston? It's two spaces away from Langeron and two from Keinmayer.

It belongs to Aston, because he's higher up in the chain of command.

Alright, Kienmayer to 135 and independent cavalry 121 to 120.

That leaves 2 Corps moves and 1 Independent.

Edit: I might make up a gallery on imgur showing how the game has gone so far, unless there is such a thing already, as I find it a little tricky following the maps when they come every few posts. Would anyone else find that helpful?

Tekopo: Oct 24, 2008; When you see it, you'll shit yourself.

Since we haven't used Guard Attacks before, can you confirm that you understand the implications of it? First of all, you will lose morale just for showing the guards, you will not be able to use the feint option, you will have to lead with the guards, any defending 2 or 1 strength enemies will have their strength decreased and if you lose the guard attack you will lose even more morale (along with the one for losing the battle) and lose the guard attack option for the rest of the game.

Morholt: Mar 18, 2006; Contrary to popular belief, tic-tac-toe isn't purely a game of chance.

I'll definitely win unless the defenders are 3 strength though right? It's a bit of a WIFOM situation but I figure we may as well show some boldness.

confirmed.

I don't think it's a sure thing at all with an enemy unit in the approach. That turns your 3 strength attack into a 2 strength, yes? :ohdear:
