My skeleton buss if fighting my oponents horde of beastmen gors.

To the left of the skeletons stand a hioerotitan and a unit of 30 tomb guard horde formation. So now we have in a srt of line 30 tomb guards, 1 hierotitan and 5x8 skeletons. The skeletons are fighting his beatsmen. (Just so we can see the sneario.)

I want to charge the beastmen with my tomb guards and the hierotitan. The hierotitan will charge the front as he is in the front, but the majoraty of the tomb guard are in the side arch menaing they will charge the side. I declear both charges and my oponent tells me that they can not be both be performed. Here is his reasoning:

If the hierotitan where to charge his base would be sticking out on the side of the beastmen corner on a horisontal line. That would prevent the tomb guards from charging as they would not be abel to be placed on the vertical line. I acepted this as it was not very important at that point, but I wanted to argue.

There was room for the tomb guards to charge and wheel in if they where placed further back. And then he hierotitan would fitt quite snugly.

They would then be packed

TTXXXXXXXXX
TTGGGGGGG
TTGGGGGGG
TTGGGGGGG
XHHSSSSXXX
XHHSSSSXXX

T standing for tombguards, G for Gords, H for hierotitan and S from skeleton. X for emty Square Before the charge they where standing like this:


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXGGGGGGG
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXGGGGGGG
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXGGGGGGG
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXGGGGGGG
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXSSSSXX
XXXXTTTTTTTXHHXSSSSXX
XXXXTTTTTTTXHHXSSSSXX

My point being that even thogh the Hiertotan would "block" the Tomb guard and the tomb guards would "block" the hierotitan, there is nothing preventing the Tomb guard to actualy wheel into that position and still leave the hierotitan room to fight. When multiple units charge one unit you should roll the distance for all of them and then try to adjust them so that as many from both units get ti fight. In this case one hiertitan from the one unit and as many tomb guards as posible from the other.

What do you people think, I know we did not cheat, but would it be posible to charge as I describe?

I will bring that up next time. I do not think it would have mattered a whole lott as I made many mistaces that game, but it will be good to know. :-)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441503/4122038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441503/4122038.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441503/4122342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441503/4122342.page GMT Move titan first, Guard 2nd.
As long as both made the charge roll, it doesn't matter how far they actually have to move.

Bad news for the Gors.
