New FAQ has been released...

Thanks.

I have taken the liberty of adding this latest FAQ to the Fanaticus Wiki here:-
static.wikia.nocookie.net/fanaticus-dba/images/d/d4/Dba_faq_q4_2022_final.pdf/revision/latest?cb=20221025131837
…and the original can be found on Keith’s New Zealand website here:-

(I particularly like his Littoral Landing House Rule)

There appears to be only two new entries in this latest FAQ:-

Threat Zones:
Q: My opponent has moved a Light Horse so that the front edge of its Threat Zone touches the rear
     of my general's element. During my bound, since my front edge hasn't entered his threat zone, may
     I move my general's element in any way I want?
A: No. You are limited by the Threat Zone of the Light Horse. Any part of an element inside a Threat
    Zone or touching the front edge of one causes the element to be affected by that Threat Zone.

Recoil:
Q: If an element shoots at the rear of a column of Cavalry and forces a recoil, is the target destroyed?
A: Yes. If the element targets the rear edge of the enemy Cavalry element and forces a recoil, that
    element must first turn to face its rear. The targeted Cavalry will be prevented from starting its
    recoil and thus is destroyed.


(Note that they still insist that Rivers prevent rear support…which is wrong, wrong, wrong!
See fanaticus.boards.net/post/43366/
It’s the complete opposite of what the rules say, it flies in the face of the historical accounts (Alex the
Great’s Pikemen fought their way over the Granicus and Issus rivers), it causes stupid effects such as
standing IN a river is better than defending the river bank as it prevents quick kills, and it makes rivers
unplayable for Pk/Sp/Wb so rivers rarely get used, or players like myself simply refuse to enter them.
Still, the FAQ are only suggestions…you are still allowed to use your own common sense.  )
