First few games questions
I have now managed to play a couple (solo) games and have a few rules questions. I will ask them all here and see if I'm misunderstanding things.
Spears. If the character with the spear touches both the allied attacker and the target of the attack, does it count double? ( one for the character and one for the spear?). I say no, but in a strict reading one could say yes. It took me a while to understand the spear rule.
Range attack. Is there any way for a ranged knight to gain momentum without leaving a good position (something like aiming). Could I burn a 6 for example but not move the mini, just to add the 2 momentum? It feels like there should be some kind of Aim option.
Is movement really completely unimpeded next to and through enemies? Meaning, I can burn a 6 and essentially do a 5 inch move around 3 enemies to get to a weaker target in the back? The game plays fine but it just feels like I'm missing a rule there. Something like opportunity attacks, or can't move while in contact with enemies.
Knights die brutally when they're hit with a 1 pierced and get to 3 wounds. I also judged that if they get a hit that would bring them to 4+ wounds they also die . Otherwise they are incapacitated and the winner of the battle can collect their injured and the opposition can be held for ransom. Rules as written, someone could get 5 wounds and be not brutally killed. It felt weird.
is movement supposed to be in a straight line or can it be measured as needed in free form? I played with hexed grid (easier online) and it worked good. I did free form.
I'm sure some of these are explained in the text, but it's a bit confusing to find answers especially without a table of contents in the pdf. Any guidance appreciated.
