Though a lot of time and effort went into the
Armies of Chivalry supplement for
Warhammer Ancient Battles, there were still a few items that "slipped through the cracks" and didn't quite turn out as intended or are in need of a bit of clarification. The following list contains the clarifications/errata for the supplement as agreed to by the authors and editor of the book:
Front Inside Cover Map: “Napels” should be "Naples".
General Rules-Copses of Trees or Orchards:
This terrain type is also very useful for representing ruined Greek style temples and other partially damaged buildings or ruins.
Special Rules-First Charge:
Page 5 – Stubborn units have a chance to hold against a First Charge in accordance with #2 under the Stubborn rules on page 53 of the Main Rulebook. (Note: This applies to units with Ferocious Charge in WAB as well).
Special Rules-Stakes:
Page 9 - Change the first sentence to: "Mounted models are -2 on their to hit rolls, do not have first charge, and do not gain weapon strength bonuses when attacking across stakes."
Special Rules-Artillery:
Page 10 - Wounds from light artillery do not get a save.
Page 10 - Light artillery causes D3 wounds per model.
Page 10 - An alternate means to using the bounce path when determining whether a gun or crew are hit when firing at artillery is to roll 1D6 with a 1-4 resulting in the gun being hit and a 5-6 resulting in a crew member being hit. This can be extended to War-Wagons and other war machines.
Page 10 - Friendly models are affected by friendly artillery fire.
Page 10 - Unengaged ranks/files of a unit engaged in hand to hand combat can be targeted by artillery.
Page 12- The allowance for two extra crewmen per gun applies to all armies.
Special Rules-War Wagons, Page 12:
- Individual War Wagons that were never part of a War Wagon unit are not subject to the 2" spacing between War Wagons; this applies to wagons in a unit only.
- War Wagons cannot flee or fire and flee as a charge reaction.
- War Wagons can Fall Back in Good Order if they qualify for it. In this case, the fall back move is 1d6".
- War Wagons cannot cross obstacles, nor can they enter difficult terrain. If forced to move into difficult or very difficult going, the War Wagon will instead stop on the edge without entering.
- If all crew from a War Wagon are killed by any means, the wagon is removed from play.
- If a War Wagon fears its enemy and loses combat, where it would break and flee per the Fear rules, it is instead removed from play.
- No matter how many crew are modeled for a War Wagon, only 6 fight.
- If a War Wagon that is part of a unit is destroyed or the crew wiped out, the victorious unit cannot pursue, but may freely move or shoot in its following turn if not still engaged in melee.
-Unengaged War Wagons that are part of a unit that is in contact with the enemy may fire normally, but may not move.
