Hi,
I've just joined the forum as our group is going to try GDB for the first time.
When a brigade has to disperse, but a unit is still engaged in a melee, what happens? Does the unit continue the melee until resolved, or does it disperse immediately?

thanks

TM,

If a brigade is subject to a Mass Panic result then all units are simply removed from play in that morale test phase.

If a brigade Breaks then any units currently still in melee will break off and retire with their brigade.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I am a bit confused by that , how does the unit break off the melee... does it just move in the compulsary phase? and can the opposing unit pursue - cavalry can pursue the full retire distance?

Why should this override the melee result which I thought counted as that unit morale check anyway (I realise that brigade morale is after unit morale, but once in melee I assumed you fought until the melee was resolved).

Cheers,

Andy

The unit would move in the compulsory move phase, and the opposing unit would be unable to follow it due it being unformed, and therefore unable to declare a charge, after a round of melee.
