For as many times as I have read the rules regarding whether a unit is isolated or not I still can't make heads or tails of them. Can someone please rewrite them in a way that makes sense?
Say there's A body of 6 men (let's call them Group A) and there is another body (Group B) of their own 8 inches away, more than one move.
Is Group A isolated if Group B has 13 men or is Group A isolated if Group B has only 2 men?
In the first case it makes sense for Group A to be isolated because the smaller group is too far from the larger group.
In the second case it makes more sense for Group B to be isolated.
I'm sure there's an easier way to write this out.

Is Group A isolated if Group B has 13 men or is Group A isolated if Group B has only 2 men? In the first case it makes sense for Group A to be isolated because the smaller group is too far from the larger group. In the second case it makes more sense for Group B to be isolated. I'm sure there's an easier way to write this out. If Group B has 13 then A is not isolated (because 13 is more than half of 6). If Group B has 2 then A is isolated (because 2 is less than half of 6). I wrote the following "decision tree" ("if this, then that") summary for myself awhile back. SUMMARY: · After all moves are complete, any men in contact with the enemy, and any other men within 6” of those in contact, constitute a melee. · Either the two sides are of equal number or unequal. Any prisoners are not counted. · If EQUAL, then all models on both sides are removed. · If UNEQUAL, then determine if the smaller force is isolated or not. If there friendly non-engaged models within a move (12” if foot or 24” if mounted) but not within 6”, equal or greater than half the number of friendly models engaged, then it is supported, and if not, it is isolated. For example, if Red has 5 models engaged with Blue, and Red also has 3 models 10" away from the engaged 5 models, then it is supported, because half of 5 is 2.5, and 3 is equal or greater than 2.5. · If ISOLATED, then a number of the smaller force’s models equal to the difference between the larger force and smaller force become prisoners. Those not taken prisoner each remove an enemy model and are themselves removed. So, if Blue has 10 models and Red 6, then 4 Red models are taken prisoners, and the remaining 2 Red Models are removed, taking 2 Blue models with them. · If NOT ISOLATED, then all the smaller force’s models are removed, and an equal number of the larger force’s models are also removed. So, to use same example, if Blue has 10 models and Red 6, then each side loses 6 models. · Player whose move turn was just completed decides which models are taken prisoner, regardless of whether he wins or loses the melee. |
