John asked:
The second option in the Falling Back in Good Order Rule states:
Drilled troops, units in skirmish formation, and cavalry that lose a combat but pass their break test may fall back in good order if they wish, instead of remaining in the combat.
I apologize for wordsmithing (it's the former WRG player in me), but does this mean:
"All of the above (drilled troops, skirmishers and cavalry) must lose a combat and pass a break test in order to FBIGO."
A WRG rules lawyer might look at this and suggest that the skirmishers and drilled troops may fall back PRIOR to the combat. It's the comma <g>.
Another question is whether troops who WIN a combat may be permitted to FBIGO.
All of the units can fall back in good order if they pass the break test.
Troops that win a combat may *not* fall back in go order; assume they are too excited and eager to vanquish the foe in order to get them to leave.
