I've asked about this before you know, but that was before
we were members of NetEpic. I only recently remembered that
i was gonna ask why it was so...It is imo a very illogical
rule in a turnbased game!

Subject: RE: [NetEpic ML] silly question?
Hi,
I disagree, if a unit with advance orders is charged, it uses all its
available time that turn fighting the close combat and may not fire in the
advance fire segement. Likevise if a unit on first fire orders is charged it
has to concentrat on the unit charging it. These are the rules we have
played by for over ten years, and I've never seen anything written in the GW
material to contradict this (We havent got access to the Titan Legions
Rules). As for snapfire we've fount this to slow play to much, we want a
simple straightforward system. So even though we might not be perfectly in
tune with the actual NetEpic rules, these are the rules we have played by
and this has never been an issue untill Rune made a dumb move alloving me to
pin his preacious Vanguards with a couple of squads of Rhinos. I promise
that we are not gonna change this now! This might be a bit blunt, but I se a
lenghty discussion comming up in our gaming group, and I just won't have it!
