Manoeuvre (Movement)

Manoeuvring During a Charge

Obstacles

Main Rulebook

To wheel, one edge of the formation is moved forward while leaving the opposite edge stationary to act as a pivot. The unit swings round rather like the spoke of a wheel and completes the manoeuvre facing a different direction. Here we see a unit making three wheels to move round a wood.

To wheel, the leading edge of the formation moves forward, pivoting round one of the front corners. The unit swings round like the spoke of a wheel and completes the manoeuvre facing a different direction. When it wheels, the entire unit counts as having moved as far as the outside model. Once the wheel is complete, you may use any movement that the unit has remaining. For example, a unit of Empire Spearmen might wheel 2" to the left and move 2" straight forward, for a total move of 4". A unit can wheel several times during its move as long as it has enough movement to do so and is not charging. A unit that is charging is only able to wheel once to align itself to the enemy, as described later.

During the Movement phase, or Move phase, you get the opportunity to move your forces around the battlefield. As with the turn sequence, the things that you can do within the Movement phase are performed in a strict order. An overview of each part of the sequence is given below and further rules governing movement are discussed in the section entitled Moving Troops. Declare Charges - If you want any of your troops to charge, you must declare this at the very start of the Movement phase. Rally Fleeing Troops - If any of your troops are fleeing, you can attempt to rally them after declaring charges. Compulsory Moves - Move troops that are subject to a compulsory movement rule. Move Chargers - Move charging troops and resolve other movement resulting from the charge. Remaining Moves - Move the rest of your troops.
