Re: Diving and Landing as an Engagement Action into blind arcs

Then there's a bug in the chapter numbering (in the 2nd ed pdf); it says "Soaring units ignore the 6·10·7·1: Moving Engagers step through to the 6·10·7·6: Swift Engagers step below,"
but the Moving Engagers step is 6 · 10 · 6 · 1, not 6 · 10 · 7 · 1.

Diving and Landing as an Engagement Action into blind arcs

Can a Circling unit when it Lands Engage an enemy warrior in its blind arc even if it could land in the sight arc? Engagement rules state that sight arc must be filled first if the engaging warrior has a majority of its base in the sight arc of the defender, but circling units aren't on the table.

Breakthrough after Dive?

If a Soaring unit Dives as an engagement and completely destroys the target unit, does it get to do a Breakthrough reaction?
Breakthrough says the unit must have Charged, Dive engagement says it's a swift engagement, does that count as charge?
My gut feeling says no, but wanted to be sure.

Well, now the issue is can the Tekhnomantis use the Strategos' AUTH if it's in range?

A Strategos that has Joined the Mesokolossos is technically the same unit, so would have higher Authority.
But I'm a bit hazy on how authorities work with effects like that. For normal Authority tests you would use the Strategos' Auth.
