So in here I'm looking to group together questions and answer for game play, wargear and strats and so on -

TO START
I'm just going to break this into sections, its a situational type multi part question.

Question - related to throwing weapons/spears, for clarity im going to use warriors of rohan and uruk hai as my example troops for now

Q1.
If warrior of rohan with a throwing weapon in the movement phase decides to charge and throw his spear at his target, suffering the penalty to shoot value and so on, if he hits and kills his target and is now free to finish his movement, deciding to charge a second enemy can he throw the spear again, or is it just once in the movement.

Q2.
Again if a warrior of rohan with a throwing weapon chooses to charge and throw his spear at an enemy model, but this time fails to secure a kill, he now must finish the charge, engaging that model in combat, but if a second warrior of rohan with throwing weapon wanted to charge that same enemy who is now in combat, can the warrior of rohan throw his spear at the target, or is this disallowed cause the enemy model is now in base contact with the allied warrior who failed his throwing spear charge earlier? and in a reverse situation i would assume an evil warrior can throw his weapon still on the charge but follows the same rules for shooting into combat, that he might hit his ally model in the fight?

Q3.
Final question( i think for now regarding Throwing Weapons), If the warrior of rohan charges, throws his spear, and kills the enemy model but chooses not charge any other model that round, assuming he hasn't been charged come the shooting phase can he opt then throw his spear again in this phase, and if yes does he still suffer the shooting penalty for moving?

Question regarding cavalry

Straight forward, when a cavalry model charges and enemy on foot he gains the +1 attack and knock to the ground rule so

Q1
If the cavalry model charges an enemy on foot but is then countered charged by a second enemy, also on foot does he still retain his charge bonus attacks

Q2
similiar to question one but in this situation the cavalry model has been counter charged but is now taken out of the original fight with the model he charged, in this situation does he still retain both charge bonus, seen as he no longer fighting the model he charged

Q3 if the cavalry model is charged to begin with, not having moved yet, by an infantry model, he doesnt gain the +1 attack bonus, but despite being charged he wins the fight, does he still knock the enemy to the ground?

Control Zone Question

as i know it, a model may not enter the control zone of an enemy unless charging, and may not ignore the control zone of an enemy if wants to charge an enemy behind, long and short now skipping, you enter it you fight.

SO my question is
If i have a wall of uruks with shields supported by pikes, their control zones would inevitably overlapping, so if i wanted to charge and enemy in the centre of the shield wall would i have to essentially charge two enemies because I'm technically enter the two models control zones,

I'll have a stab at answering these.

Throwing Weapons:

Just once per movement phase.

Once engaged, a good model would be unable to throw a spear when moving into combat, however, as you say an evil model would be able to throw into a combat with the normal in the ways that would come from shooting into a combat.

I believe the ruling is; as long as the warrior is unengaged by the shooting phase he may shoot again, but would suffer a movement penalty.

Cavalry Charges:

SomeGuy wrote:

Yes, this is correct the cavalry model still gains the knock to the ground and the bonus attacks.

SomeGuy wrote:

Yes as he gains the bonuses so long as he has charged into an infantry model that turn. (This can be negated by moving another cavalry model into the combat.)

SomeGuy wrote:

No. he needs to have charged himself to gain any of the bonuses from charging.

Control Zones

As soon as you enter a control zone you disregard any other control zones that you may enter, as long as your base does not touch another models then you are considered to be in a 1on1 combat.

Unit Name Upgrades

He retains it as he is now just a dismounted Redshield.

Q1: I have heard on DCHL vlogs that units may "swivel" around the base of a unit for free. Does this cost extra movement?

Q2: What happens when both units tie rolls for a fight and their fight values are the same?

Q3: I've read conflicting accounts: when supporting with spears you add an extra die to fight, do you also add an extra die to damage rolls? What if the opponent is knocked down?

Yes you must still have the movement available to use to do so.

Then it is a 50/50 roll off 1-3 for player A (Evil) and 4-6 for player B (Good) this is normally rolled by the person with priority or a third party, I'm not sure it's written who rolls but this keeps it fair. This roll off can be adjusted to a 60/40 if a player has an elven blade, if both have an elven blade then it remains a 50/50.

You do indeed get the extra damage Die and also get any addition Dice for trapped or knocked down as normal.
