Re: Joined units and other questions.
Hi Rob, I've been doing a bit of brushing up (painting and rules :P). I was watching the Anglecynn vs Ysian battle report you and Tim did on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_5VsAodPAU And I noticed something at around 50:10. Once the mantichora is finished killing off the Waelwulf unit, y...

Looking at the Albainn muster, should the Savage & Feral Oghuruc's fist weapons get quick strike?
Would the Goghu also get quick strike on it's fists? Or is it being a lumbering lump of rock mean it's too slow to do anything quick?

Re: Attack move as a reaction.
No need to answer this now, had a good read and I think I understand it now per the attack action sequence and the attack move sequences for beset (attacked) warriors on page 190-1).
Plus it's compulsive for the feral units anyhow.
In other words: found what I was looking for.
