A rare issue came up in my local gamming group, and I am curious if it could be clarified:
There are three models: A, B, and C. Models A and B are engaged, and model C is not engaged with anyone. The melee ranges are 1".
Model A wants to move out of B's melee range. Model A declares the walk action.As detailed on page 44 of the Rule Book, you declare that you plan on moving out of B's melee range and thus provoke a disengaging strike from B.
After B fails his disengaging strike, A continues to move into C's engagement range. The owner of model A wants to move out of C's engagement range (A has a big walk value).
I was curious how this should be resolved. Per rules, it seems that C would not get a disengaging strike, but it still seems somewhat ambiguous. Would C get a strike? If C does, would A go back to the point where they were engaged with B, since the walk was canceled, or would it be stuck in C's melee range?
This is what Page 44 says on disengaging:
"If a model wishes to leave an enemy model's engagement range with a Walk Action, it must declare that it wishes to do so before moving. This may provoke a disengaging strike from the enemy model that the moving model is engaged with. Only Walk Actions provoke disengaging strikes, any other type of move or push will not.
To resolve a disengaging strike, the enemy models that are engaged with the moving model may choose to take a free Attack Action with any one Close melee Attack which the disengaging model is within range of.
If the Attack hits, the disengaging model may not perform the Walk Action..."[/FONT]
