   Me and my roomie did our third game a few days ago.. We have had questions and forgot to write them down.. Now this game i wrote down a few.. We only have one set of rules and it makes it hard to find them.
   1. Can you wheel in a counter charge?
   2. Rerolls.. all the dice or just one? meaning, say i moved.. do i reroll both dice or just one?

   3. Movement after reaction.. After i fall back.. Can i then move in the action phase?
   4. Change facing.. We were changing facing with out movement because we couldnt find it... So if i am facing north.. Then i do a 90 degree turn(say in line) or can you not even do that?

   I find it is a fun game to play.. I come from DBA and FOG back ground. The fight we did was 100 days French Vs. British.. French Inf w/ light cav and curisers cav(2 support) against British Inf w/inf support and Hvy dragoon support.. We found the French Chassuers cav charged up hill along side the infantry was crushing.. Blew a huge hole in my line.. The English had nothing to counter this.. Though my hvy dragoons came on before this happened.. I sent them to the flank to counter an envelopment to chase off the Hussars before this happened. I am new to Nappy tactics. He used the light cav sub to control them and the horse artillery... Used the Chassuers with the CnC. Anywho.. Any ideas?:-) I have figs for the light cav for British.. But they are reserve also.:-/

   1 - I would say yes. pg 36. The countercharge must adhere to all the limits and requirements of a normal charge move.

   2 - Not sure what rerolls you're talking about. The only reroll I can think of off the top of my head is Commander's for recovery

   3 - Yes, fallback is a reaction to the enemies movement. Movement comes under Activity Phase in which you move (your opponent will react to your movement in his Reaction phase.)

   4 - No. The maneuvers are listed on page 27. Wheel, about-face, oblique, Move by the flank, retrograde. If you read on pg25, last paragraph. THAT BASE MAY NOT MOVE. But you are right, I don't know of any direct reference.

   All my 2 cents... I have been wrong before.

   For 4, there's an optional rule that allows the sort of facing change in place you're talking about. If you're a competitive sort, though, keep in mind that a tournament may not allow this rule, putting you at a disadvantage if you're used using that maneuver.
