Here are a number of frequently asked questions from both SAGA as well as our rules discussion group along with their answers. Is there any movement penalty or special order requirement for generals joining or leaving units?
Units may wheel 45 degrees before moving. Is that exactly 45 degrees or up to 45 degrees?
Can orders be sent to units absolutely anywhere on the table (i.e. well beyond Command Range) if 2 order markers are expended?
Consider fast couriers, audio signals, etc. as how he carries this out.]
What happens when my archer units shoot an enemy unit into total destruction, i.e. it takes enough casualties to remove it from the table? Is it counted as routed? Or is it just removed from play and ignored?
A bow-armed unit is the target of a "FF" (Feigned Flight or Fire and Flee) order. If it returns fire on the FF unit, can it move afterwards? My unit of SI is charging the flank of an enemy HC unit. They are in turn being charged in the flank by a unit of SC. What happens?
Can a unit with pavises form Shieldwall?
If a unit has placed stakes with a Deploy order, can it pick them up again and move with them?
Please clarify that Longbowmen are allowed to fire with up to three ranks even if part of a mixed formation. For example, behind Burgundian pikemen or pavisiers.
