Played a small game last night, just trying out a few aspects of the new Hobbit rules.
It was memorable sadly only for the freakish demize of my ringwraith; shot by a dwarf archer, who hit the armoured steed and killed it, I then failed my Fallen Rider test on a roll of a 1, hit the ground and evaporated! Yes that S3 hit hitting the ground , resulted in a 6 followed by a 4 to cause a wound, and I then failed 2 fate rolls... I worked the odds out as being about 5000 to 1! Well thats pretty typical of my luck...
But I digress...
The issue I wanted to raise was an interpretation of the rules governing control zones and charging (note this is not specific to new Hobbit rules).
What was described to me was the ability to perform what was called a sliding charge... which meant the following is correct and allowable within the rules:
So to clarify; man starts his move at A, and declares charge to orc directly ahead, moves to position B entering the orcs control zone, he then completes his charge move, continuing to now move freely through the orcs control zone, and may ignore nearby enemy models control zones to complete his charge move, finishing in position C.
It should be noted that the mans position at B, can fall a few mm's short of the orc models base, allowing this lateral movement without contacting orc models base, until position C is reached.
IS THIS CORRECT?
