Frédéric BEY - Dec 19, 2010 7:58 am (6660.) "What have the French people contributed to world history? In my view, it is not the Revolution of 1789, but the spirit of chivalry." - Dai Sijie Markus, thnaks for your comments about Sphacetria on BGG by the way. >Is a leader eliminated if the force is destroyed by inability to retreat? The 4.2 states that all units that cannot retreat are eliminated. Leaders are included. >(What happens when a leader is leading a naval force that can't retreat but is next to a friendly occupied land zone? Can he retreat onto land while the ships are destroyed? I decided yes.) You are right, leader are elimnated if no hex. available for retreat. The one you chosse for the leader was available (only for him). >Are odds shifts applied after determining the maximum odds? In other words, is one shift left from a 15:3 attack a 2:1 or a 4:1 (maximum odds) attack? 15/3 is "3/1 and +" then, one left shift is "2/1" >If a fleet needs to retreat into a straits hex, is it destroyed or does it continue to retreat? It retreats into the strait, but unit over the staking limits (5) are eliminated. Attack or defend in the port is very risky indeed. You risk your fleet in one single combat. That what happened to Spartan who loose the whole of it.
