Attack move as a reaction.
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:24 pm
I'm posting this just as a clarification that I've been playing this right.
The subsection of the 6.20 attack action 6.20.2.1.1 states that an attacked unit can do attack move, shoot or invoke as a reaction rather than just attack. I had a game recently where my brutes had performed a run action to get close to the nearest enemy unit it could see, which was a unit of Norse trolls. This is a vigorous action, so they are now alert.
The trolls then activate and indirect engage my brutes meaning I cannot counter-engage. After they have attacked it is the brutes turn, but I notice that the angle of the two units means that only three of my brutes have made it into attack range. When I declared my reaction (are attack ones in a separate sequence to when I declare my engaged reaction? I may have misunderstood here) could I declare an attack move and move the unengaged brutes into the trolls to get more attacks?
Is this correct? Also if another enemy unit were to engage them after this, would they now be weary and so would they only be able to make reflex attack reactions? So no more moves?
Or is there a series of compulsive reactions that frenzied and feral would require them to perform instead (besides a counter-engage)?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
