Having played for quite some time, we always assumed that on destroying an enemy unit, the victor followed up into the vacated hex. However, on re-reading the rules, it could be interpreted that you only follow up when forcing a unit to recoil of flee- not when destroying a unit. Which do you play? Follow up on all occasions, or only follow up when advancing after a surviving unit
Many thanks

Re: Follow up
All units must automatically follow-up and occupying the hex, after eliminating an enemy unit.
Exceptions are:
The victorious unit:
Is A class infantry.
Is part of a 'shield wall.'
Is behind planted stakes.
Is behind pavisses.
Is of a unit type that cannot enter the terrain contained in the hex.

Re: Follow up
Thanks for the reply.
We have always played the follow up when destroying an enemy, although we had a go at a game without doing this- it led to some very interesting results. but the negatives certainly outweighed the positives, The A class troops not having to follow up is a new one (unless I missed it somewhere). Is this a change for the rules update? Any news on when the update might be made available?
Many thanks

Hi Ratty
The 'A' class infantry not having to follow-up into the vacated hex is on page 12 of the rule book, or somewhere close!
Rules update! The updated text is complete and has been for a while. We are currently sorting out important production logistics and really need to get everything in place before we release the updated rules and army lists. We anticipate an increase in H&H sales which we have to be prepared for.

Re: Follow up
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the updates, especially tweaks to army lists. Are there any new armies in either the medieval or fantasy lists?
