Countering a flanking enemy unit with Parent, Combat Detachment & Archer Detachment
(1)
(1)In this situation, the cavalry has made it around your flank and your infantry find themselves vulnerable to am immediate flank charge. You have one turn to reform the units before a flank charge occures and wipes out the rest of your line.
(2)
(2)First the combat detachment reforms to face the enemy, but at a slight angle. The archers move infront of the combat detachment and the parent makes a long wheel to face the enemy.
(3a)
(3b)
(3a)The enemy declared a charge on the archers, the closest archer was to the left of the enemy unit thus it will flee away at an angle and end up behind the parent unit as it flees through.
(3b)You could alternatively hold the charge.
(4a)
(4b)
(4a) The enemy declared a charge on the combat detachment who also chooses to flee and at a slight angle, so that the parent unit is not in the path. The enemy cavalry fails it's charge and moves forward 7".
(4b) The enemy would then overrun/pursue into the detachment.
(5a)
(5b)
(5a) The parent unit now can declare a charge on the cavalry and negate all the enemy's charge bonuses thus easily winning combat.
(5b) The Parent could then flank charge the enemy allowing for max combat resolution just as if they had held a frontal charge and the detachment had flanked with a support charge. The bonus here is thet the enemy would flee off the table away from the parent when combat is lost making it easier to garuntee the enemy is destroyed!
