Hi all

Today we played a game and this question came upp, must the cavalry make a pursuit move to be able to do combat one extra time or is it enough to make the gain ground move and still do combat? As I understand it the cavalry can do the gain ground move and the pursuit move is the extra hex a cavalry unit can move after the gain ground move. In the rule book the exampel explains it as a cavalry unit can make the gain ground move and then return to its original position and then it had made a pursuit move.

Well can anyone explain this to me please

The only requirement for the mounted unit to make its bonus attack is that it must gain ground (take the vacated hex). It also has the option (terrain permitting) of making an additional hex movement before making that bonus attack, including moving back to the original hex from which it initiated combat that turn.

Good gaming
