Sorry if it has been already stated but we have a discussion in our DBA club about pursuing and i could not find the response in the previous subjects.
Some troops must pursue but not if they enter into a bad going (except march and gully) or if reaching a table edge.(rule)
We are wondering if you do not start the pursuit if you risk to enter into bad going or tabke edge OR if you start the pursuit and stop when you reach the bad going or the table edge ?
In the other cases of pursuit we undertood you stop when you encounter an obstacle you cannot interpenetrate or enter as the fleeing process where you flee then you stop when obstacle.
Thank you for your advice as it seems the rule said that you do not start the pursuit but it does not seems to be very consistant with the other process as recoiling, fleeing and pursuing enemy.

Here is the rule: "An element in a city, fort or camp or in bad going (other than marsh or gully) or whose pursuit move would cross a battlefield edge or enter such bad going, does not pursue."
I have read this to mean that the element "does not pursue." That is to say, it does not start to pursue. Otherwise the rule would read the element pursues until it reaches the various things. I guess the pursuing element is somehow ESP, knowing that behind It's opponent there were some bad stuff.

Not consistant in reality as pursuing people stop immediately as they could encounted an obstacle farther but we will apply the rule, hope it will be corrected in 3.1. Thank you very much for your reply.

This was ambiguous in 2.2 and so discussed by 3.0 development group. Phil wanted the "no pursuit" language - never clear why - and all in group at least wanted a final answer.
You can play at home anyway you want (we do) but in tournaments we have to stick to the letter of the law which is Pursuit doesn't even start.
