G'day folks,

I have a rules question for you, and while I suspect I know what the answer is going to be, I thought I'd ask anyway.

If one of my squads shoots an enemy squad, forcing them to take a morale test, which they fail, and they then fall back, can I assault a different enemy squad?

I believe the answer to be NO, my squad then stands around unable to do anything, but what do the community think?

You are correct, the answer is no. This is why at times it can be more beneficial to not fire before charging into assault.

You can still assault the squad if they were in range.

Also this is one of the many joys of combat tactics.

Cuz if they fail their regroup roll when you declare a charge they are destroyed.
