Combat Card - PULL BACK

Tue, 16 November 2010 18:01

Pull Back card allows you to break the rules on movement by:

Quote:

You may retreat up to 3 hexes, through any ground units, and ignore terrain movement restrictions.

Does it allow you to:
1. Go over an adjacent mountain without climbing or being on a hill hex first?
2. Move across an open river hex?
3. Go over an escarpment?

Thoughts please!

I would say impassable is still impassable. Like it is for BEL. [Report message to a moderator]

But another unit is normally impassable. So we're clearly dealing with something more complex. Gut feeling would be escarpment and mountain yes, river no. Don't have any basis for that being the official line though. [Report message to a moderator]

1. through any ground units ==> I guess this is clear Smile

2. and ignore terrain movement restrictions:

==> Any terrain, where units may enter and have a "stop" or "stop and may not further this turn" are losing this restriction. Played like a normal retreat after rolling a flag: Any terrain, that is impassable remains impassable: rivers, escarpments, ...

Perhaps a unskilled question: What stands "BEL" for?
Thanks in advance Confused

BEL stands in for the Behind Enemy Lines card. I smell Winter Wars in the air... [Report message to a moderator]

Actually it smells more like the city streets... Urban Combat Card: http://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44/en/content/cards_compen dium/?id=pull-back I believe that this fellow can move through all terrain EXCEPT that which is impasable (similar to a BEL card). And that is how I intend to play it. until told otherwise. [Report message to a moderator]
