Auf Grund unseres letzten Spielchens habe ich mal auf anderen Foren geprüft wie dort der "Diving Charge" so gehandhabt wird.

Die erste und alles entscheidende Frage war mal ob der "Diving Charge" wirklich ein Charge ist......da gingen die Meinungen doch auseinander.

Frage 1:
Is it possible to intercept a diving charge ?
For explaination. I have 3 different models in the 2" landing zone of the guy making the diving charge. The diving charger wants to attack the one farest away to it´s landing zone. Do the other 2 models have the option to intercept ?
Antwort:
Yes, any model within 2 inches of the charge line may intercept the charge. A Diving Charge is exactly like any other charge in all regards except where specifically stated otherwise in the Diving Charge rules.

Frage 2:
We had a situation in our game where a Ghoul Hero were jumping down a balcony to charge my beastmen shaman. The Ghoul Hero were standing direct at the balcony.
When jumping down (to come in contact with my shaman in most direct movement) he would not have had the shaman in diving charge range.
If the Ghould would have ran 2" on the balcony to the left and then jumping down he would have had the shaman in diving charge range.
Basically the question is the following one.
Do I also have to try to get in contact with the model I want to charge in most direct way when jumping down a house/balcony/whatever ?
Antwort:
The rules of charge state that you must move by the most direct route to the enemy model. Unless there are obstacles this means in a straight line. You may not swing wide on a route that is not "the most direct" just because it gives you a rule advantage.


Frage 3:
Do I have to jump down a building (or whatever) to get in contact the most direct movement with a model I want to charge or can I say I will go down the stairs as I have high enough movement range. So.....is jumping down (during charge) voluntary or mandatory ?
Antwort:
Again, the rules state that you must take the most direct route. If the route involving jumping is more direct then you must take it. I suggest that all people allow the player to chose to take the most direct, safest route if they perfer, but this is not supported by the text of the rule.


Wobei mich ehrlich gesagt die Antwort auf meine Frage 3 doch etwas erstaunt hat. .... Ich wäre eindeutig für die Möglichkeit zur Wahl der "most safest route"

@ Stand allone Test

If your warrior is fighting alone against two or
more opponents, and there are no friendly
models within 6" (knocked down, stunned or
fleeing friends do not count), he must make a test
at the end of his combat phase.

At the start of each of his turns, the warrior must
take another Leadership test. If he passes, he
stops but can do nothing else during his own
turn except cast spells. If he fails or is charged, he
runs 2D6" towards the nearest table edge,
avoiding any enemy models.

--->Ergo .... am Ende eures Nahkampfes hätte der Ork testen müssen, da er ja mit 2 Gegnern im Nahkampf war.


@Spielausgang.
Der Gerald hat sich freiwillig zurückgezogen nachdem 2 seiner Ghoulhelden bereits zu Boden geprügelt wurden. Ich musste meinen Minotaurs auch schützen weil er "knocked down" war. ....der miese Zauberstruch mit Stärketest und ich hab klarerweise ne 6 gewürfelt. Obwohl ich zwar Stärke 6 hatte.....ist ja ne 6 immer ein versemmeltes Ergebnis)

Helden hat es keine erwischt....nur Henchmen (1 Gor bei mir und 3 oder 4 Kerle beim Gerald)

Sorry Blödsinn getippt und Regel noch mal gelesen....

Gleiches Recht für beide Seiten.
Knocked down, Stunned or fleeing friends don´t count.......somit hat er auch nicht testen müssen.

Wie du richtig sagst .....at the end of Combat phase.....somit kein Test, da ein Hund ja "stunned".
Somit habt ihr es richtig abgehandelt.
