Can a formation be driven back by Epic Shot like it can be by normal shooting attacks? Thanks, LordElrond |

The games I play we always did so with epic shot But we didn't allow magic (bolt of fire, natures wrath) to drive formations back. I guess it would be the same thing.. losing a company on a burst of magic or a rain of arrows. It drives you back D3 Any other opinions on this? |

Logically speaking, the driving back is caused by the soldiers fearing the guy(s) who caused so many casualties, so I suppose anything causing that many casualties should work. One guy shooting four-five men with a single arrow would sure scare me, as would someone throwing big fireballs around... |

Epic Shot would be a shoot action, in the shoot phase, and therefore if it killed enough to deplete a company, the formation would be driven back. As for magic, I think it would be thematic (as well as handy!) to have Bolt of Fire act like a shoot and be able to drive a formation back. But we never play it this way, the rules specifically state only shooting attacks drive back. (and again Epic Shot is a shooting attack) |

Is it a shooting attack? I think (not sure) Epic actions are not attacks, even if they directly kill people. Sort of like how casualties from a Duel don't count for who won the fight. |
