Re: Chasing Mice? with a long (measuring) stick

[Carrington]

Am I correct that the "under the lash" rule will restrict Skaven movement to absolute maximum of 60cm per turn?

This because Characters themselves do not move during the process of giving orders -- and getting the mice to scurry that far requires that your characters be placed for a leap-frog: i.e. out in front of the brigade, but within 20cm.

It seems that this restriction is pretty significant -- though arguably not as significant as it is for a cavalry-focused Lizardmen army.

Under the lash restricts all orders to a 20cm radius (like a wizard).
So you could possibly manage 60cm movements if you were very lucky or using the screaming bell

But this would also require telegraphing your movements somewhat... as you have to set up your leader 20cm out in front of your units in the previous turn.

And NOT in the first turn, as that limits you to  slightly less then 40 cm...

Uhhhh  my characters for ANY army are usualy out in front of the battleline

True enough -- the difference being that you know Skaven (and, for the most part, Lizzies) won't be beyond 40cm from where those characters are set up.

Actually, you can move an infantry unit 71,8cm, with 4 orders from a wizard.
How? It is all in the "creative measuring" part of the rules. 
If you are really cunning, you can get it up to 75,8cm.

I'm presuming that's a single infantry unit, though, not a brigade.

Yes, but a full brigade could move 75,2cm. If my calculator is correct.

If you are extremly bloody cunning your Wizard can move one infantry unit by 77,88cm 

[Guthwine]

If you are extremly bloody cunning your Wizard can move one infantry unit by 77,88cm 

In theory maybe, but with a command value of 7 or 8 I think the dice will prevent that move.

[wmchaos2000]

If you are extremly bloody cunning your Wizard can move one infantry unit by 77,88cm 

87,8 that is. But now we are talking extreme creative & cunning measurement.

And how many command rolls?

4 I think. Have not tried it in-game of course, so it is all in theory.

Sorry mates,

I dont understand anything.

77,88 cm (second digital number in a warmaster movement ). Do you play so exactly?

87,8   cm with wizard command and range restriction?

Is this a kind of math riddle or do you play using that "cunning movements"? I have never play with lizardmen or skaven, so maybe is a rule that I have not read in the rulebook,

cheers
