We had a situation where inside a BUA were a brigadier and the CinC (King William). They both became casualties in the melee. Am I right that the 'garrison' checks morale at -2 for seeing the commander killed? (Or would each unit test individually? I went with garrison) Those outside the BUA wouldn't test because they weren't in LOS, even though some are within 12" of the event.

Seems to me news of a king being taken from the field, strapped over the back of his horse vs riding it, would travel very quickly. I invoked game master privilege and the garrison became shaken. The French on the next turn were finally able to breech the perimeter after 6+ of turns trying.

Let me just say that if you ever have to take a BUA in BLB2.. you better pack a lunch and bring some friends.

Yup Joe.. garrison checks morale.. once and for the most senior casualty.. the King.. wow!

Anything in LoS and in range would check in the open. I think in a BuA it is a scenario specific call as per your own judgement.

Yes, taking a BuA was a costly and time consuming job... Neerwinden and its villages being a fine example.

Clarify, units involved in an assault on a BUA do not count for order allowance. Makes sense just couldnt find a reference in the rules.

Joe

Yes, actually that is a really good point and I can't remember if I did clarify that in writing in the rules, on the forum or never! As a snap judgment, those boys will at that point have their hands full in the same way as a routing unit would so I would not count them for order allowance.
