Nice chat,

About the obstacles, I play as geep, thinking that the unit moves as a column of humans/humanoids and avoid the obstacle in a circle (radius) just bending the flexometer.

But what really shocks me very pleasant is that the warmaster, playing as a law-follower or as a fluff evening player, still simulate a battle! with his tactic decission, surprising events and fog of battle. Evreything can happen... (but I think you all know this, anyway it is not propaganda, but a true feeling)

I agree with Getlord's interpretation of the rules.  Do I play that way?  I try to.  But honestly, when four or five charges are going off, I sometimes get too excited to remember the details and play as JChaos describes. 

There have been times when my opponent is a fraction short.  If he asks, I allow the charge.

My opinion is that reviewing the rules constantly is a good thing.  When I started playing Warmaster, I played with one friend consistently.  As situations came up during the game that we were not sure of, we would note the situation and after the game was done, would read the rules trying to find clarifications.  As a result, we understood the rules much better. 

We also found that we would have a pre-game discussion to set expectations.  "According to my interpretation of the rules, this how this situations is handled...".  That way we could discuss any points of dispute without the game being in the balance.
