Unsaved hits on chariots

Postby billS » Mon Feb 26, 2018 9:16 am

Chariots are removed after two unsaved hits. Do these carry over between phases and turns?

- If a chariot unit takes an unsaved hit from shooting, and then a second in close combat in the same turn, does it lose a base?
- if a chariot unit takes an unsaved hit from shooting in turn 1 and a second in turn 2, does it lose a base?

I can't seem to find a definite answer in the rulebook.

For what it's worth Bill I see chariots as similar to elephants and war machines in that wounds would be carried over.

So the answer to your questions would be yes in both situations. Although Martin will come along in a minute ortwo,and tell me that I have not fully understood the rules again!

Hi Bob, I think from memory chariots are treated like cavalry, and that excess wounds are NOT carried over. Elephants are a special case. Chariots are a normal unit, and the normal unit rules apply - again I am sure Martin will correct me and I will check the rules tonight.

Has to be yes in both cases.

Well as it stands chariots are not separated out from other troops in the rules so would be treated like cavalry, while elephants are indeed a special case.
