FAQ
Q: Does the Highland Charge +1 die bonus require the Highlander Unit to actually move into a new hex (it needs the momentum) or not?
A: NO. AN ORDERED HIGHLAND UNIT DOES NOT NEED TO MOVE TO GAIN THE HIGHLAND CHARGE +1 DIE. (RB)
Q: Does the Highland Charge Bonus +1 die just cancel the -1 die for moving into a new hex unless the Highlander does not move to make his melee attack or is there something special about Highland Charge that I am missing?
A: WHEN AN ORDERED HIGHLAND UNIT MOVES BEFORE MELEE, THE CHARGE BONUS +1 DIE IS REDUCED BY THE -1 DIE FOR MOVING. (RB)
Q: Does the -1 die penalty for entering a new hex apply [to Bonus Melee Combat by a Highland unit]?
A: YES. (RB)
Q: If a full strength Highland unit takes more than one hit from a single battle result, can it still ignore 1 flag from that same battle result?
A: YES. A FULL STRENGTH HIGHLAND UNIT ALWAYS IGNORES 1 FLAG REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF HITS IT TAKES. (RB)
