We have a game going at the moment and some interesting questions came up. I will be short and sweet: 1. Is a counter charge counted as a move? 2. Do you gain the extra 5cm if you are counter charging on a road? 3. Can you overwatch a counter charge? Thanks in advance.

1 - Yes 2 - Don't think so, the extra 5cm rule talks about action tests etc. IIRC 3 - Yeah, I reckon so |

Also, how do the three pertain to consolidation moves? Morgan Vening |

1. They are really a special case. Yes in some ways, no in others. 2. I'd say no. The rule uses the term "entire move" which, to me, implies a normal move, e.g. 15cm for infantry. However, it's not clear and there could be good arguments the other way. 3. No, as Onyx pointed out. === Morgan: For consistency's sake, I think you have to say that all consolidation moves count as normal moves. While there might be some wiggle room about whether consolidation is a "normal" move in the basic consolidation rules, in the Eldar's case, with Hit and Run, I don't think there can be any good justification for not counting the consolidation as a full normal move. Also, the WE boarding rules for consolidation are built on the same principals as normal moves. If someone has good counterarguments, though, I'm open to them. |

Agreed with Neal. Further point, 'Withdrawal' is a move, so can be shot by OW, gains 5cm on roads and can be used to board air transports without incurring the 'consolidation' penalty. |
