Hello all I have a couple of questions for you if you have a moment. Regarding frenzy and when a frenzied unit must declare a charge - Do you take the max charge range distance of the frenzy unit (lets say Rat Ogres with a move of 6 = a max charge range of 18") So when the rat ogres move within 18" of an enemy unit then you must either declare a charge of roll your Ld not to? Is this correct? An Orc unit charges a skaven unit in it's flank and causes disruption as well as getting a plus 1 to its combat for the flanking. In the Skavens next turn it can reform to turn and face the Orc unit therefore the Orc unit would no longer receive it's plus 1 flank or cause disruption. Thanks for any input Goodhunting |

Frenzied troops, as soon as they are within their maximum possible charge distance must either declare a charge or test to restrain. For Rat Ogres this is 18". This does mean you need to develop tactics to keep some semblance of control over your rat ogres. Units charged in the flank can re-form after a combat has been fought, provided they do not break and flee. If they win the combat they may reform automaticaly. If they lose they must pas another leadership test with the same modifiers they had on their break test in order to reform. As far as I am aware this is the only way units in combat can move. You cannot move in the movement phase if you are in combat. (Page 26 "Moving your units") |

+1 to all that stuff. Also, be aware that you can't combat reform if you're fighting enemies on more than one facing. So even if you're fighting a single model at the front and there's 40 dudes to your flank, you can't turn to fight the flank, |

You have to do the same test twice? In the rulebook it says that , if you passed a single test already once during a fase, then you dont have to redo it anymore. So if you already did a panic test once, you dont have to redo that panic test anymore. |

They're not the same test, it's two different tests on the same stat. (Specifically a Break Test, then a Combat Reform test). |

Yup, it specifically states you must take another test to reform if you lose combat. |
