Today in a tournament game I had a situation come up that I couldn't figure out the answer for. I had a pack of Grey Hunters in CC with a Caldor Drago and my Lone Wolf. I lost combat and my one surviving Grey Hunter failed his leadership test. Now my question is does Caldor Drego get to make an initiative test to stop him from fleeing as he is still locked in CC with my Lone Wolf who is fearless and there for couldn't run away. I need to know how this is supposed to be resolved. We ended up having the TO flip a coin and my Grey Hunter ran away then claimed an objective after rallying winning me the game. I told my opponent I would throw the situation up here on Dakka Dakka and see what you guys said. If we ran it wrong I dont mind giving him the win I just need to know how it should be run.

You can't preform a sweeping advance while still locked in combat.

Yes Kaldor couldnt pursue as he was locked in combat, very surprised the TO didnt do that


Plus isnt draigo in termie armour? who cannot make sweeping advances (only play marines is it different for GK?), doesnt sound like a very good TO!

Yeah, Draigo is in Terminator armor and thus cannot conduct a SA. Plus he was locked in combat.

Having a seperate Fearless unit/model in melee is a good way of ensuring you can escape a combat.

I actually realized as soon as I posted the topic that Draigo couldnt do it due to termie armor but I figured I would leave the question out assuming that someone would say whether or not a model not in term armor could or couldnt. I am glad we ran it correctly. I thought that was the case but I couldnt find a specific passage in the rules that I thought covered it perfectly and as it was a tourny game I wanted to double check for fairness sake. Thanks everyone for the quick responses!

Sorry to bring this back up but could someone please list a page number for where it says he cant pursue (not due to Term Armour but due to being locked in combat.) I believe you guys I just would appreciate having a page number to reference if this ever comes up again. Thanks in advance.
