Hi,
On epic_fr, we have some questions about the way orders are lost when a stand/unit is engaged in Close Combat:
Page 16 from NE Gold rule book
3) Charge Orders
These units sacrifice firepower for speed and the ability to engage the enemy. Units on Charge Orders may move up to double their normal movement allowance in the Movement Phase, but may not make any sort of ranged attacks. Units that are pinned in Close Combat are automatically assumed to be on Charge Orders, but units that are in Close Combat but not pinned (such as a tank fighting infantry) must be given orders normally.
Page 30 from NE Gold rule Book:
3) Advance Fire Segment: Players alternate activating the rest of their units. Their only option is to make their normal ranged attacks, as everything else has been resolved. Units that were not given orders may be activated to fire now. If a model was charged and fought in Close Combat, it may not fire (however if other models in the same detachment were not engaged, they may fire).
A first sight, it looks quite contradictory. From page 16, should we read:
If a band of 20 ork boys with an advance order is engaged by a single rhino, it's quite abusive if it loses its advance order and is not able to fire in the advance order.
Could others stands from the detachement do their advance movement or do they lose their movement but can fire in the advance fire phase ?
Thanks for your help ÂÂ
