Post subject:  My skirmishers can NEVER be rallied

Now I'm playing a training game with 1 of my officers in Eckmuhl, and I notice my skirmishers can never be rallied, even I have stacked them with 4 leaders for 3 turns. Is it due to different versions or other issues? Please help.

Are they close to formed units of their own brigade? That's lurking in there too.

What a dumb question from myself! Ok they have to be within 5 hexes of parent units! ok I understand now, I'm still quite rusty on HPS system.

Only line battalion skirmishers. True lights will rally.

Funny, I noticed the same thing with skirmishers! Is there an "official rules document" that can be used as a handy reference for such intricacies? I know that there are lengthy Word documents that can be printed off, and Parameter Data files, etc that may be of use to us novices to HPS.

Can someone list them for us? Thanks so much!

There is a whole bunch of help files that comes with every game in the series. The most important is user.hlp that is also updated with every patch. Since it's rather brief, it's well worth reading entirely. From this file, regarding the issue at hand:

"Skirmisher Rule
In addition to the normal test, Routed Skirmisher units of non-Light, non-Guard units are only eligible to recover from Rout if they are within 5 hexes of their parent unit."

Also worth reading are notes.hlp, which explains some of the design choices and thus furthers the understanding for the way the the specific title was intended to work (whereas user.hlp is the same for all the titles) and npb.hlp, which is a description of all the menus etc. in the game (again, the same for all titles).
